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.
