Unification of italy upsc pdf Continue World History (Unification of Italy) What do you mean by the unification of Italy It was a political and social movement, agglomeration of the various states of the Italian peninsula into a single state of the Kingdom of Italy in the 19th century. It began in 1815 with the Vienna Congress and the end of Napoleonic rule. It ended in 1871, when Rome became the capital of the Kingdom of Italy. Reasons: Common Religions of Italy, Language: Italian (Christianity). The geographical basis is also a common reason because it was relatively isolated from the entire Europe due to the Alps and the exploitation by Austria and France. The phases of the Italian association Carbonari: The Secret Organization Intellectual Awakening The Role of Kavura (Chancellor of Piedmont and the most important man in the Italian union) The Revolutionary Council of 1860 Garibaldi and its power Carbonari: Napoleon somewhat united the Italian states, but the Congress of Vienna of 1815 washed away the order established by Napoleon. with more than three-quarters of the population suffering from poverty and illiteracy, Italy's liberals and nationalists tried to achieve their goal through an armed uprising. Carbonari, a secret organization in Italy, became a means of their rebellion. But the rebels did not have mass support inside Italy, and also faced a powerful threat from the European alliance, so the uprising was suppressed. A clear message to Italian nationalists is that the unification of Italy requires a clear strategy, plan and organization. Intellectual Awakening: Intellectuals like ziobatti, Mazzini, etc. have played the role of awareness and awakening of the masses in Italy. Mazzini is called the Prophet of the Italian Association because he founded the Young Italy movement; preached the idea that Italian unification can only be possible with foreign aid and Austria is the biggest obstacle in unification. The role of Kavura: Mazzini's proposal inspired Kavur, who began to move along the path of Bismarck, emphasizing military and economic empowerment. He took advantage of the Crimean (marsh land in the Black Sea) war between Russia and Turkey and sent his army to help Great Britain and France, which supported the cause of Turkey. After Russia's defeat, the Paris Peace Conference was organized, and Kavur was invited as Italy's representative. he wanted European support for the unification of Italy. Italy was born in the marshy lands of Crimea as Italy gained recognition of the European community with this war and Kavur received guarantees from Great Britain and France to get help in this ambition of Italian unification. However, there was little sign of assistance from the UK and France. So, Kavur is now focused on Napoleon III and the Treaty of Plomlier, Napoleon III assured Kavur of France's help in uniting Italy. But in between Piedmont and Austria convinced Napoleon III of the negative consequences of the unification of Italy. Because of this, Napoleon III left Italy in Italy and it ended Kavur's dream of uniting Italy with war with Austria. Revolutionary Council 1860: The phase begins as an influence of the uprisings of the 1830s and 1848s, which emphasized the will of the people. This led to the formation of revolutionary councils in Italy (1860), which took the path of a plebiscite (meaning that every decision must be made with the help of eligible voters in that particular area or territory). But it was not successful as important Italian states like Naples, Venice or Venice, Sicily, etc. refused to budge to be the people. Garibaldi and his strength: Garibaldi and his powerful thousandth force, which attacked the unyielding states, played the final role. They also received internal mass support and fulfilled the task of reunification of Italy. Thus, Germany and Italy were the new nations in Europe in the 1870s. As the unification takes place (Italy by 1829) 1829 the Duchy of Mass and Carrara was annexed by the Duchy of Modena and Reggio. 1847 The Duchy of Lucca was annexed by Tuscany and Modena. Parma and Tuscany were changing. On December 8, 1859, the United Provinces of Central Italy were established. On March 22, 1860, Central Italy was merged with the Kingdom of Sardinia. Treaty of Turin of March 24, 1860. Savoy and Nice were annexed to France. On July 18, 1860, the Kingdom of Sardinia withdrew from Monaco. On August 18, 1860, Basilicata proclaimed its accession to the Kingdom of Sardinia. On August 21, 1860, Puglia proclaimed its accession to the Kingdom of Sardinia. On September 2, 1860, Pontecorvo joined the Kingdom of Sardinia. On September 3, 1860, Benevento joined the Kingdom of Sardinia. On September 7, 1860, Naples was liberated. On September 16, 1860, papal troops removed Pontecorvo. On October 21, 1860, after the plebiscite, southern Italy joined the Kingdom of Sardiania. On December 7, 1860, papal troops were driven out of Pontecorvo. On December 17, 1860, after the plebiscite on November 4, Marche and Umbria were merged into the Kingdom of Sardiania. On February 2, 1861, Monaco handed Menton over to France. March 17, 1861 the proclamation of the Kingdom of Italy. February 3 - 4, 1865 Florence became the capital. August 23, 1866 Prague World. After the Austro-Prussian war Veneto was sent to France, and then France moved him to Italy. On September 20, 1870, the Papal state was annexed by Italy. On February 3, 1871, Rome became the capital of Italy. Compare and compare the Italian and German similarities of the association: The central theme was the same, namely the struggle of the enemy and the achievement of national unity. Both countries began a period of disunity, unsuccessfully tried to achieve their goals in 1848 and finally secured it almost at the same moment, with the same military operations. A strong state, i.e. Piedmont in Italy and Prussia in Germany, supported the cause of the national Kavur and Bismarck both should have initially resistance from stubborn Austria. These similarities are extremely superficial. Differences - Points in favor of Bismarck. Kavur's task was more difficult, as Piedmont was so weak that foreign aid was necessary for the unification of Italy. While Bismarck simply needed the neutrality of other states. Piedmont was not much different from other Italian states, while the Press has always always been a respected and prominent position in Germany. Sollverein has provided economic union, absent in Italy. In Germany, already a greater measure of unity than Italy, as there was no foreign rule to be overthrown, no influence of the Pope creates difficulties. Differences: The point against Bismarck Bismarck must work against popular will and the power of unity on a reluctant nation, while Kavur has given the effect of a fervent desire of the people. Austria is more entrenched in Germany than in Italy, so expelling Austria from Germany would create more opposition in Europe than in Italy. Thus, Bismarck's diplomatic difficulties were greater than Kavura's. An inspiring prophet like Mazzini's ideas and a loving figure like Garibaldi were a valuable asset in favor of Kavura; Bismarck was all alone and unaided. King William I bitterly and reluctantly supported Bismarck, while Emmanuel II fully supported Kavura. Principles and methods (How they differed) Kavur was a liberal and an ardent supporter of the parliamentary government, so he worked with the help of Parliament and a plebiscite, gave importance to the will of the people, looked at the liberalism and education of Piedmont. Bismarck was reactionary, hated the ideas of Parliament, the voice and will of the people, Polity Blood and Iron. Kavur could scare Piedmont's interest in achieving Italian unification, Bismarck, on the other hand, was Prussian in the first place, wanted the unification of Germany, subjecting its population to Prussian rules, so he was cruel, cruel and even suppressed the liberal and democratic elements of Germany.

The role of individuals in the unification of ItalyMazzini - heartCount Cavour - BrainGari Baldi - SwordThe process began in 1815 with the Congress of Vienna and was completed in 1871, when Rome became the capital of the Kingdom of Italy.Unification of Italy was a two-step process. At first she tried to gain independence from Austria. Secondly, it was to unite the independent Italian states into a single whole. Mazzini and Garibaldi who played the most important role in the process. For centuries, Italy has been nothing more than a geographical expression. It was a patchwork of small states jealous of each other. Never since the Roman Empire has the Italian peninsula been actually united under one rule. Various attempts to bring the Italian peninsula under one government ended in failure. The division of Italy between foreign dynasties was one of the main obstacles to the unification of Italy. Austria occupied the northern part of Italy. Princes of the Habsburg family in Austria ruled the duchys of Parma, Modena and Tuscany. In the south, the Kingdom of Sicily and Naples was during the Bourbon dynasty. It was because of the division of Italy into many independent parts that Metternich called Italy a geographical expression. Central Italy was under the temporary power of the Pope. In addition to the political division of the peninsula, the Italians themselves have not yet developed a full sense of national consciousness.

Revolution in Rome, 1848 Flag of the Kingdom of Italy, 1861-1946 1. The Early Phase of the Italian Risorgimento, 1815-1848 The settlements reached in 1815 at the Congress of Vienna had restored Austrian domination over the Italian peninsula but had left Italy completely fragmented in a number of small states. The strongest and most progressive Italian state was the Kingdom of Sardinia-Piedmont in north-western Italy. At the Congress of Vienna this state had received the lands of the former Republic of Genoa. This acquisition helped Sardinia-Piedmont expand her merchant fleet and trade centred in the port of Genoa. There were three major obstacles to unity at the time of the Congress of Vienna: The Austrians occupied Lombardy and Venetia in Northern Italy. The Papal States controlled Central Italy. The other Italian states had maintained their independence: the Kingdom of Sardinia, also called Piedmont-Sardinia, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies (ruler by the Bourbon dynasty) and the Duchies of Tuscany, Parma and Modena (ruled by relatives of the Austrian Habsburgs). During the 1820s the Carbonari secret society tried to organize revolts in Palermo and Naples but with very little success, mainly because the Carbonari did not have the support of the peasants. Then came Giuseppe Mazzini, a patriotic writer who set up a national revolutionary movement known as Young Italy (1831). Mazzini was in favour of a united republic.

    New Dorp High School Social Studies Department AP Global Mr. Hubbs & Mrs. Zoleo The Unification of Italy While nationalism destroyed empires, it also built nations. Italy was one of the countries to form from the territories of the crumbling empires. After the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Austria ruled the Italian provinces of Venetia and Lombardy in the north, and several small states. In the south, the Spanish Bourbon family ruled the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. Nevertheless, between 1815 and 1848, increasing numbers of Italians were no longer content to live under foreign rulers. Amid growing discontent, two leaders appeared—one was idealistic, the other practical. They had different personalities and pursued different goals. But each contributed to the Unification of Italy. The Movement for Unity Begins In 1832, an idealistic 26-year-old Italian named Guiseppe Mazzini organized a nationalist group called, Young Italy. Similarly, youth were the leaders and custodians of the nineteenth century nationalist movements. The Napoleonic Wars were lead principally by younger men. Napoleon was 35 years of age when crowned Emperor. As nationalism spread across Europe the pattern continued. People over 40 were excluded from Mazzini's organization. During the violent year of 1848, revolts broke out in eight states on the Italian Peninsula. Mazzini briefly headed a republican government in Rome. He believed that nation-states were the best hope for social justice, democracy, and peace in Europe. However, the 1848 rebellions failed in Italy as they did elsewhere in Europe. The foreign rulers of the Italian states drove Mazzini and other nationalist leaders into exile.

    By Filippo Sabetti Mcgill University the MAKING of ITALY AS AN

    THE MAKING OF ITALY AS AN EXPERIMENT IN CONSTITUTIONAL CHOICE by Filippo Sabetti McGill University THE MAKING OF ITALY AS AN EXPERIMENT IN CONSTITUTIONAL CHOICE In his reflections on the history of European state-making, Charles Tilly notes that the victory of unitary principles of organiza- tion has obscured the fact, that federal principles of organization were alternative design criteria in The Formation of National States in West- ern Europe.. Centralized commonwealths emerged from the midst of autonomous, uncoordinated and lesser political structures. Tilly further reminds us that "(n)othing could be more detrimental to an understanding of this whole process than the old liberal conception of European history as the gradual creation and extension of political rights .... Far from promoting (representative) institutions, early state-makers 2 struggled against them." The unification of Italy in the nineteenth century was also a victory of centralized principles of organization but Italian state- making or Risorgimento differs from earlier European state-making in at least three respects. First, the prospects of a single political regime for the entire Italian peninsula and islands generated considerable debate about what model of government was best suited to a population that had for more than thirteen hundred years lived under separate and diverse political regimes. The system of government that emerged was the product of a conscious choice among alternative possibilities con- sidered in the formulation of the basic rules that applied to the organi- zation and conduct of Italian governance. Second, federal principles of organization were such a part of the Italian political tradition that the victory of unitary principles of organization in the making of Italy 2 failed to obscure or eclipse them completely.

When Carlo Alberto, the “revolutionary” Prince of Carignano, granted the Cádiz Consti- tution, after the abdication of Vittorio Emanuele I, a crisis began in the secular history of the dynasty and the kingdom of Sardinia: for the first time freedoms and rights of representation broke the direct pledge of allegiance, tipycal of the absolute state, between kings and people. The new political system was not autochthonous but looked to that of Spain, among the many possible models. Using the extensive available bibliography, I analyzed the national and international influences of that 24 PIERANGELO GENTILE short historical season. Moreover I emphasized the social and geographic origin of the leaders of the insurrection (i.e. nobility and bourgeoisie, core and periphery of the State) and the consequences of their actions. Even if the insurrection was brought down by the convergence of the royalist forces and the Austrian army, its legacy weighed on the dynasty.

Natural Advantages of the Territory of the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire, at the period of its greatest expansion, comprised the regions of the earth most distinguished by a happy combination of physical advantages. The provinces bordering on the principal and the secondary basins of the Mediterranean enjoyed a healthfulness and an equability of climate, a fertility of soil, a variety of vegetable and mineral products, and natural facilities for the transportation and distribution of exchangeable commodities, which have not been possessed in an equal degree by any territory of like extent in the Old World or the New. The abundance of the land and of the waters adequately supplied every material want, ministered liberally to every sensuous enjoyment. Gold and silver, indeed, were not found in the profusion which has proved so baneful to the industry of lands richer in veins of the precious metals; but mines and river beds yielded them in the spare measure most favorable to stability of value in the medium of exchange, and, consequently, to the regularity of commercial transactions.
