Answer 2

              Unification Of Italy

Like Germany, Italy has a long history of political fragmentation.

During the middle of the 19th century, Italy was divided into seven states of which only one state(Sardinia-Piedmont) was ruled by an Italian princely house.

The main leaders of unification process are these three revolutionaries: 1) Giuseppe Mazzini, 2) Count de Cavour and 3) Giuseppe Garibaldi.

→In Italy,

• The north part was ruled by Austrian Habsburg.

• Middle part was under Pope.

• And the Southern part was ruled by Bourbon Dynasty.

→ Later, Giuseppe Mazzini subsequently found two secret societies, Young Italy and Young Europe.

→ With the failure of revolutionaries, the responsibility fell on Sardinia Piedmont under its ruler King Victor Emmanuel-2 to unify the Italian states through war.

→ At the end, Austrian Habsburg were defeated by Cavour with the help of France.

→ Bourbon Dynasty were defeated by the Giuseppe Garibaldi with the support of Peasants.

Hence, Strong nationalist cultural movements and economic development are factors which prepare the ground for Italian unification.
