Read the source given below and answer the questions that follow:

Like Germany, Italy too had a long history of political fragmentation. Italians were

scattered over several dynastic states as well as the multi-national Habsburg Empire.

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.The north

was under Austrian Habsburgs, the centre was ruled by the Pope and the southern

regions were under the domination

of the Bourbon kings of Spain. Even the Italian language had not acquired one common

form and still had many regional and local variations.

During the 1830s, Giuseppe Mazzini had sought to put together a coherent programme

for a unitary Italian Republic. He had also formed a secret society called Young Italy

for the dissemination of his goals. The failure of revolutionary uprisings both in 1831

and 1848 meant that the mantle now fell on Sardinia-Piedmont under its ruler King

Victor Emmanuel II to unify the Italian states through war. In the eyes of the ruling

elites of this region, a unified

Italy offered them the possibility of economic development and political dominance.

Chief Minister Cavour who led the movement to unify the regions of Italy was neither a

revolutionary nor a democrat. Like many other wealthy and educated members of the

Italian elite, he spoke French much better than he did Italian. Through a tactful

diplomatic

alliance with France engineered by Cavour, Sardinia-Piedmont succeeded in defeating

the Austrian forces in 1859. Apart from regular troops, a large number of armed

volunteers under the leadership of Giuseppe Garibaldi joined the fray. In 1860, they

marched into South

Italy and the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and succeeded in winning the support of the

local peasants in order to drive out the Spanish rulers. In 1861 Victor Emmanuel II was

proclaimed king of united Italy. However, much of the Italian population, among whom

rates of illiteracy were very high, remained blissfully unaware of liberal- nationalist

ideology. The peasant masses who had supported Garibaldi in southern Italy had never

heard of Italia, and believed that ‘La Talia’was Victor Emmanuel’s wife!
