  10. But wait! • Why did it work to make Italy a Kingdom? Stability = economic growth! Strong central gov’t = stability It is always about Money!!

  11. Don’t forget about The Congress of Vienna! • Prince Metternich (Austria) would NOT tolerate a free Italy (or any other European nation) • Revolution fever had grown into weariness • People wanted to return to stability and prosperity • Did we mention it is always about the money?

  12. By 1870 Italy is a Unified Nation Industry and prosperity would follow but the population explosion caused many to migrate to the U.S. There is danger ahead for Italy! World War 1 is right around the corner!

Cavour, prime minister, Realpolitik! 2. Mazzini, “Young Italy” revolutionaries 3. Garibaldi, “Red Shirts” 4. Victor Emmanuel II, becomes king Was liberty the final result? NO, Italy became a kingdom? “I’m free I’m free, dang it”
