Question

1. Assertion : Italy was divided into seven states, of which only one was ruled by an
Italian princely house.
Reason: The north was under the domination of the Bourbon kings of Spain.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Assertion is true and Reason is false.

Explanation:

For Assertion =>

Italy was divided into seven states which were scattered in different empires. Out of this, only one state that is the Sardinia Piedmont was ruled by an Italian prince Count Camillo De Cavour.

Count Cavour was declared as the chief minister of Sardinia in 1848 and then its prime minister in 1852.

Thus, assertion is absolutely correct.

For Reason =>

Italy was ruled princely by three major groups.

In the north it was ruled by the Austria - Hungary Empire, in the centre it was ruled by Pope and in the south it was ruled by the Bourbon Kings.

In the south of Italy, including the Islands of Two Sicilies, was ruled by the Bourbon Kings.

Thus, the reason is completely wrong.

So the answer is,

Assertion is true and the Reason is false.

Answer 2

Answer:

Sardana-Piedmont

Explanation:

The Kingdom was a member of the Council of Aragon and originally comported of the islets of Corsica and Sardinia, sovereignty over both of which was claimed by the Papacy, which granted them as an arena, the regnum Sardinia et Corsicae(" area of Sardinia and Corsica"), to King James II of Aragon in 1297. Beginning in 1324, James and his successors conquered the islet of Sardinia and established de facto their de jure authority. In 1420, after the Sardinian – Aragonese war, the last contending claim to the islet was bought out. After the union of the crowns of Aragon and Castile, Sardinia came as a part of the burgeoning Spanish Empire.

In 1720, the islet was ceded by the Habsburg and Bourbon heirs to the Spanish throne to the Duke of Savoy Victor Amadeus II. The Savoyards united it with their literal effects on the Italian landmass, and the Kingdom came to be precipitously linked with the landmass countries, which included, besides Savoy and Aosta, dynastic effects like the Principality of Piedmont and the County of Nice, over both of which the Savoyards had been exercising their control since the 13th century and 1388, independently.
