Development Of A Nation: Unification Of Italy, 1848-70
Aperçu
In 1848 the word Italy described a peninsula, not a country. It contained seven separate states, an Austrian province, a Pope who ruled a strip of central territory as a monarch, and a set of customs barriers that made trading between Milan and Naples harder than trading with France. Twenty-two years later almost all of it answered to one king in Rome.
How that happened is a genuinely contested question. Was Italy unified by Cavour's diplomacy, by Garibaldi's volunteers, by the calculations of Napoleon III and Bismarck, or by a popular movement that both Cavour and Garibaldi were riding rather than leading? This note gives you the sequence accurately and then shows you how to argue about it.
