7 A Historic Conclusion When was Italy Unified? The Italian Unification summary attests to an occurrence in the late 19th century, thanks to statesman Who Unified Italy? The Risorgimento movement was behind the Unification of Italy. Giuseppe Mazzini and his top pupils had failed in the attempt to create an Italy united by democracy. Garibaldi had the backing of his legion of Red Shirts. The legion mainly consisted of young Italian democrats who took advantage of the 1848 revolutions to create a democratic uprising. Unfortunately, their attempts failed in the wake of the resurgence of conservative power in Europe. Camillo di Cavour was the aristocratic politician who eventually united Italy under the crown of Sardinia using tools of realpolitik. Realpolitik is the idea that politics must be run under terms of pragmatic evaluation of power and the nation’s self-interest. The notion also supported the pursuit of those interests by all means, including violent and ruthless ones. As prime minister of Sardinia, Cavour involved the British Kingdom and French side of the Crimean War and the peace conference to give the Italian Unification cause international publicity. He later allied with France in 1958. The treaty included a promise of military support against Austria if needed. Austria was the main obstacle to Italy’s Unification. Later, a planned provocation of Vienna saw Austria declare war against Sardinia in 1859, and the French Army easily defeated them. In The peace treat...

Italy had a long history of political fragmentation. Italians were scattered over several dynasties as well as the multi-national Habsburg Empire. The past revolutionary uprisings, which failed, prompted King Victor Emmanuel II from Sardinia-Piedmont to unify the Italian states through war. (i) In 1859, Giuseppe Garibaldi headed a revolution against Austria in an alliance with France. (ii) In 1860, the forces marched into South Italy and the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and drove out the Spanish rulers. iii) In 1861, Victor Emanuel was proclaimed as the king of united Italy and Rome was declared the capital of Italy. OR The steps taken by the French to develop cultivation in the Mekong delta were: (i) Build canals and draining lands to increase cultivation. (ii) Used of forced labour to build canals and earthworks. (iii) Increased rice production and allowed the export of rice. Nationalist feelings were widespread among middle-class Germans, who in 1848 tried to unite the different regions of the German confederation into a nation-state governed by an elected parliament. This liberal initiative to nation- building was, however, repressed by the combined forces of the monarchy and the military, supported by the large landowners of Prussia. From then on, Prussia took on the leadership of the movement for national unification. Its chief minister, Otto von Bismarck, was the architect of this process carried out with the help of the Prussian army and bureaucracy. Three wars over...

The victorious connubio (“marriage”), Cavour displaced d’Azeglio as head of the cabinet. Despite disagreements with the king (who favoured the clerical party and occasionally displayed absolutist tendencies), Cavour introduced various ecclesiastical, judicial, and fiscal reforms. A number of events promoted Piedmont’s Meanwhile, Mazzini’s democratic and republican movement was crumbling. In February 1853 an insurrection against the Austrians failed in Sapri expedition (June–July 1857), in which the Neapolitan republican and socialist Carlo Pisacane and some 300 companions lost their lives. The democrats were divided and unable to carry on the revolutionary struggle; nothing was to be expected from the restored governments. In Lombardy-Venetia, Austria carried out stern repressive measures.

The process of the ‘Unification of Italy’ was as following- 1. During the middle of the nineteenth century, Italy was divided into seven states, of which only one, Sardinia-Piedmont, was ruled by an Italian princely house. 2. The north was under Austrian Habsburgs; the center was ruled by the Pope and the southern regions were under the domination of the Bourbon kings of Spain 3. The unification of Italy started with the secret societies formed by Giuseppe Mazzini like the Young Italy and the Young Europe. 4. Chief Minister Cavour led the movement to unify the regions through a tactful diplomatic alliance with France, and Sardinia-Piedmont succeeded in defeating the Austrian forces in 1859. 5. Garibaldi with his armed volunteers called red shirts defeated the Bourbon kings of Spain freeing the kingdom of 2 Sicilia’s 6. In 1861 Victor Emmanuel II was proclaimed king of united Italy. Note- The Unification of Italy was the work of 3 main leaders: Giuseppe Garibaldi, Count Cavour, and Victory Emmanuel II.

Italy became the fifth most populous country in Europe after Russia, Germany, Austria-Hungary and France. The creation of Italy weakened Austria (which had lost its Italian provinces) and temporarily boosted France's international position. Unification of Italy happened when Piedmont-Sardinia allied itself with France and together in 1859 defeated Austria, which occupied parts of Northern Italy and was the main obstacle to its unification. Defeat of Austria led to the annexation by Piedmont-Sardinia of the provinces it had controlled (Lombardy and Veneto) and collapse of autocratic regimes in the Northern Italian states allied with Austria, which also enabled its unification with Piedmont. In 1860, due to lack of Austrian opposition, Piedmont annexed also two other Italian states, Two Sicilies and most of the Papal States. Groups aimed at creating a unified Italy emerged after the Napoleonic Wars in the 1820s. The most important was the Young Italy movement founded by Giuseppe Mazzini in 1831. Italian unification was effectively accomplished on...
