Answers
Answer:
Italian unification (Italian: Unità d'Italia [uniˈta ddiˈtaːlja]), also known as the Risorgimento /, Italian: [risordʒiˈmento]; meaning "Resurgence"), was the political and social movement in the 19th century that consolidated different states of the Italian peninsula into the single state of the Kingdom of Italy in 1861. The process began with the revolutions of 1848, inspired by previous rebellions in the 1820s and 1830s that contested the outcome of the Congress of Vienna, and was completed when Rome became the capital of the Kingdom of Italy
Answer:
The following are the processes of unification of Italy :
• Role of leaders : Unitary Italian Republic was established due to the revolutions led by leaders like Giuseppe Mazzini during 1830s. Though the revolutionary uprisings of 1831 and 1848 failed to unite Italy.
• Political Fragmentation : Like Germany, Italy was also politically fragmented. During the middle of the 19th century, Italy was divided into seven states, of which only one, Sardinia Piedmont was ruled by an Italian Prince.
• Role of Mazzini : Giuseppe Mazzini made efforts to unite Italian Republics. He had formed a secret society called 'Young Italy' for achieving his goal.
• Role of Count Cavour : He was the chief minister who led the movement to unify Italy. He formed a tactful diplomatic alliance with France and defeated the Austrian forces.
• Role of Giuseppe Garibaldi : Garibaldi also formed armed volunteers. In 1860, they marched into South Italy and the Kingdom of Two Sicilies and succeeded in driving out Spanish rulers.
