Editing Merano (section)

===Modern history===
The [[Tyrolean Rebellion 1809|Tyrolean Rebellion of 1809]] against the [[First French Empire|French]] occupation drew attention again to Merano. In that year, on the Küchelberg above the city, a peasants' army eked out a victory against the united French and [[Kingdom of Bavaria|Bavarian]] forces before their revolt was finally crushed. After [[World War I]], under the [[Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye (1919)|Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye]], Merano became part of the [[Kingdom of Italy (1861–1946)|Kingdom of Italy]] with the rest of the southern part of the former [[Cisleithania]]n crown land of Tyrol.

During the [[Nazi]] occupation of the region in 1943–5, the Meranese Jewish population was almost completely [[Holocaust|deported and murdered]] within concentration camps.<ref>{{Citation |author=Sabine Mayr |contribution = The Annihilation of the Jewish Community of Meran
