Unification of Italy:

  • Italy was divided into seven states in the middle of the 19th century.
  • Of these seven states, only an Italian princely house ruled only Sardinia-Piedmont.
  • North Italy was under the Austrian-Habsburg Empire.
  • The Pope ruled the center while the Bourbon kings of France dominated the southern regions.
  • During the 1830s, Giuseppe Mazzini formulates a coherent programme for a unitary Italian republic.
  • He had established a secret society called Young Italy.
  • The revolutionary uprisings in both 1831 and 1848 had largely failed.
  • The responsibility of uniting Italian states now fell on King Victor Emmanuel II of Sardinia-Piedmont.
  • The ruling elites saw the possibilities of economic development and political dominance if Italy was unified.
  • The Chief Minister of Italy, Count Cavour, led the movement to unify Italy's regions.
  • As a result, in 1859, he concluded a diplomatic alliance with France, and Sardinia-Piedmont defeated the Austrian forces.
  • Under the leadership of Giuseppe Garibaldi, a large number of armed volunteers also joined the movement.
  • In 1860, these troops marched into southern Italy and the kingdom of Two Sicilies.
  • These areas were liberated and later conjoined with Sardinia.
  • In 1861, Italy was unified, and Victor Emmanuel II was proclaimed king.
  • In 1870, Rome was vacated by France and became a part of Sardinia. Hence, Italy was finally unified in 1871.
