"Listen then to what he writes in his second treatise on the first epistle of St. John: 'What do the words mean, I will build my church on the rock? On this faith, on that which said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.'" - Strossmayer

It does appear that shortly after the speech in 1870, the Papal States were lost and were not to be restored until 1929 (per the Lateran Treaty). Quite a few events seems to have transpired around that time which may or may have not been related.

1775 - Prohibitory Acts / British Colonies put out of allegiance and ends obligations to Britain
1775 - 1776] American War of Independence
1776 - Declaration of Independence
1781 - Articles of Confederation ratified establishing "The United States of America"
1787 - Constitution for the United States of America (by unanimously by 'all states present')
1789 - 1799 - French Revolution
1798 - (French) General Berthier (under Napoleon I ("Bonaparte")) enters Rome, abolished the papal government
1799 - Pope Pius VI dies in captivity in France

1861 - Onset of the U.S. Civil War
1861 - Papal States reduced to Lazio (until 1870)
1867 - Federal Dominion of Canada was established
1870 - Bishop Strossmayer's Speech (likely June 2, 1870)
1870 - Italian troops enter Rome (September 20, 1870).
1870 - "Prisoner In the Vatican" (1870 to 1929)
1871 - District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871
... World War I
1929 - Lateran Treaty (July) [pertains to at least two separate 'sovereign entities': 1) the Holy See, and 2) the State of Vatican City]
1929 - "Black Tuesday" - Great Depression Begins (October 29)
... World War II

"Mortal Wound Healed"
ROME, JUNE 7. From 11 o'clock this morning there was another sovereign independent State in the world. At that time Premier Mussolini ... By that simple act the sovereign independent State of Vatican City came into existence. New York Times (re: Lateran Treaty), July 7, 1929

(Walter Veith seems to selectively have left some facts out of his presentations... for some reason. Question: If something has eyes like a man does it mean that it can "See"?)
