OBJECTIVE I: Italy and Nationalism - Why wasn’t Italy united before the second half of the 1800s? * No writing is necessary here,just need a few volunteers to briefly list a few answers to the question above.
Italy and Nationalism:Why wasn’t Italy united before 1850s? • After the fall of the Roman Empire, Italy had been a nation of small states. • Napoleon united “Italy” into the Kingdom of Italy. • The Congress of Vienna [worked towards undoing ALL of the grand changes made by Napoleon & Enlightenment philosophy… wanted to resurrect absolute rule/monarchy] re-divided Italy and placed Italy under the rule of Austria. • Italy continued to remain a country of small feudal states
xcdcxwaswaswwwwwwwwas Conclusion? Throughout the ages, “Italy” was split up into several different “states” and was independently governed by local/natives of the region or by foreigners – e.g., France, Austria-Hungary, etc. (1859-1860)
OBJECTIVE #II - Work on completing the handout: Exploring the road to Italy’s Unification 24:3
Giuseppe Mazzini a. Giuseppe Mazzini • Nationalist leader who founded Young Italy. • Young Italy was a secret society hoped to form a free republic of Italy and established a republic in Rome. • Was quickly defeated by the French in 1849.
The Soul: Mazzini (1805-1872) The Duties of Man: “O my brothers, love your Country! Our country is our Home, the house that God has given us, placing therein a numerous family that loves us, and whom we love…” The Idealist Patriot
Italian Unification • In 1849 the King of Sardinia Victor Emmanuel II and Count Camillo Cavour began to work for Italian unification • Where is Sardinia again? Is it even part of “Italy”? Can’t find it on a map of the mainland.
Cavour Unites Italy Pope Pius IX: The “Spoiler”? • The quest for unity • Mazzini’s Young Italy • Sardinia and Italian unification • Cavour’s goals • Unification in the south • Garibaldi’s Red Shirts • Challenges after unification • Regional conflicts Giuseppi Mazzini[The “Heart”] 24:3 Count Cavour[The “Head”] Giuseppi Garibaldi[The “Sword”] King Victor Emmanuel II
The Brains: Cavour (1810-1861) Unification of Northern Italy • 1858-1859: Central Italy to the rescue – demand unification! • 1860: • Cavour returns & France re-pledges support • N. Italy unified (w/o Venetia)
The Brains: Cavour (1810-1861) Unification of Northern Italy • 1850s: strengthen Sardinia • 1858-1859: Quest to get Lombardy-Venetia from Austria! • ally w/ France • goad Austria into war • Franco-Sardinian victory! • France pulls support … separate peace w/ Austria: Italy gets Lombardy only • Cavour resigns Noble Statesman in Sardinian Government, 1850-1861
Unification of North & South Red Shirts 1860: conquered Sicily plan to invade Papal States stopped by Cavour Cavour orders plebiscite S. states vote to join N The Sword: Garibaldi (1807-1882) Military Leader
Why would I surrender the land I unified to Victor Emmanuel and not keep fighting north on my own? The Two Giuseppe’s b. Giuseppe Garibaldi: • Lead a revolutionary group of soldiers known as the “red shirts” • The “red shirts” invaded Sicily in 1860 and then started marching back North winning and controlling the areas as they marched. • They eventually would connect with Victor Emmanuel at Naples where Garibaldi would turn over the lands he controlled to Emmanuel helping him become King in 1861.
Italian Unification • In the south Garibaldi started a revolutionary movement to drive the Spanish out of Italy • Garibaldi’s followers known as Red Shirts began attacking the Spanish in Sicily • In 1860 the Red Shirts and Garibaldi had driven the Spanish out of Italy • Finally in 1870 the French withdrew from Italy leaving it a newly unified country
Italian Unification • By 1861 most of Italy was unified • Victory Emmanuel II became king of the newly unified Italy
King Victor Emmanuel II Garibaldi “Right Leg in the Boot at Last” What symbol is used to represent the soon-to-be nation of Italy? This cartoon was published in Great Britain. What does the title say about the British attitude towards the unification of Italy? How is Garibaldi portrayed?
Divisions between: What did the new, unified Italy look like? Government: Parliamentary monarchy (Victor Emmanuel) Limited suffrage [Right to vote] Social classes (rich/poor) Regions (N/S)
Challenges for Italia a. Strong regional rivalries still existed. b. Major division between Northern & Southern Italy • Northern Italy was industrializing and had the largest cities and wealthiest citizens. • Southern Italy was rural and poor. Life in the North? Life in the South?
Challenges for Italia c. Problems with the R.C.C.: • The Pope resented the Papal states being taken over and refused to recognize the new Nation and urged Catholics not to cooperate with the government. • A small section of Rome, Vatican City [a country within a state, that’s within a country], remained under R.C.C. control.
