He was an Italian general and a patriot. A republican, he contributed to the Italian unification and the creation of the Kingdom of Italy. He is considered one of the greatest generals of modern times[1] and one of Italy's "fathers of the fatherland" along with Camillo Benso, Count of Cavour, Victor Emmanuel II of Italy and Giuseppe Mazzini. Garibaldi is also known as the "Hero of the Two Worlds" because of his military enterprises in South America and Europe.[2] Garibaldi was a follower of the Italian nationalist, Giuseppe Mazzini, and embraced republican nationalism as exemplified by the Young Italy movement.[3] He became a life-long supporter of Italian unification under a democratic Republican government. After participating in an uprising in Piedmont, he was sentenced to death and he escaped by sailing to South America; he spent fourteen years in exile, taking part in several wars and learning the art of guerrilla warfare.[4] In 1835, in Brazil, he took up the cause of the Riograndense Republic in its attempt to proclaim another republic within Santa Catarina, joining the rebels known as the Ragamuffins. Garibaldi also became involved in the Uruguayan Civil War, raising an Italian force known as Redshirts, and is today celebrated as an important contributor towards the independence of the country.
