Giuseppe Mazzini
A Country is not a mere territory; the particular
territory is only its foundation. The Country is the idea
which rises upon that foundation; it is the sentiment
of love, the sense of fellowship which binds together
all the sons of that territory.

Giuseppe Garibaldi
“Give me the ready hand rather than the ready
tongue.”

Giuseppe Garibaldi
I offer neither pay, nor quarters, nor food; I offer
only hunger, thirst, forced marches, battles and
death. Let him who loves his country with his
heart, and not merely with his lips, follow me.

Giuseppe Mazzini
So long as you are ready to die for humanity, the
life of your country is immortal.
victor emmanuel
Victor Emmanuel II (Vittorio Emanuele Maria Alberto Eugenio Ferdinando Tommaso; 14
March 1820 – 9 January 1878) was king of Sardinia from 1849 until, on 17 March 1861, he
assumed the title King of Italy to become the first king of a united Italy since the 6th
century, a title he held until his death in 1878. The Italians gave him the epithet Father of
the Fatherland.
After the Kingdom of Italy was established he decided to continue
on as King Victor Emanuel II instead of Victor Emanuel I of Italy.
This was a terrible move as far as public relations went as it was
not indicative of the fresh start that the Italian people wanted and
suggested that Sardinia-Piedmont had taken over the Italian
Peninsula, rather than unifying it. Despite this mishap, the
remainder of Victor Emanuel II’s reign was consumed by wrapping
up loose ends and dealing with economic and cultural issues.
BELLWORK
 Why would small kingdoms want to unify to
become one larger country?
otto van bismark
Otto von Bismarck, in full Otto Eduard Leopold, prime minister of Prussia
(1862–73, 1873–90) and founder and first chancellor (1871–90) of the
German Empire. Once the empire was established, he actively and skillfully
pursued pacific policies in foreign affairs, succeeding in preserving the peace
in Europe for about two decades.
wilhelm of prussia
Frederick III, also called (until 1888) Crown Prince Frederick William, king of
Prussia and German emperor for 99 days in 1888, during which time he was a
voiceless invalid, dying of throat cancer. Although influenced by liberal,
constitutional, and middle-class ideas, he retained a strong sense of the
Hohenzollern royal and imperial dignity.
giuseppe garibaldi
Giuseppe Garibaldi, (born July 4, 1807, Nice, French Empire [now in France]—died June 2,
1882, Caprera, Italy), Italian patriot and soldier of the Risorgimento (or Italian Revolution),
a republican who, through his conquest of Sicily and Naples with his guerrilla Redshirts,
contributed to the achievement of Italian unification under the royal House of Savoy.
Garibaldi was a central figure in the Italian Risorgimento, since he personally commanded
and fought in many military campaigns that led eventually to the formation of a unified
Italy.
giuseppe mazzini
Giuseppe Mazzini, (born June 22, 1805, Genoa [Italy]—died March 10, 1872, Pisa, Italy),
Genoese propagandist and revolutionary, founder of the secret revolutionary society
Young Italy (1832), and a champion of the movement for Italian unity known as the
Risorgimento. An uncompromising republican, he refused to participate in the
parliamentary government that was established under the monarchy of the House of
Savoy when Italy became unified and independent.
He was nicknamed The Beating Heart of Italy,[1] was an
Italian politician, journalist and activist for the unification of
Italy. His efforts helped bring about the independent and
unified Italy[2] in place of the several separate states, many
dominated by foreign powers, that existed until the 19th
century. He also helped define the modern European
movement for popular democracy in a republican state
count cavour
Camillo Benso, count di Cavour, a conservative whose exploitation of international
rivalries and of revolutionary movements brought about the unification of Italy (1861)
under the House of Savoy, with himself as the first prime minister of the new kingdom.
He was a leading figure in the movement toward Italian unification. He
was the founder of the original Liberal Party and Prime Minister of the
Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia, a position he maintained (except for a
six-month resignation) throughout the Second Italian War of
Independence and Garibaldi's campaigns to unite Italy. After the
declaration of a united Kingdom of Italy, Cavour took office as Italy's
first Prime Minister; he died after only three months in office, and thus
did not live to see Venetia or Rome as part of the new Italian nation.
