Italian here: many times my foreign friends ask me why Corsica was never part of Italy, or why Italy never ever tried to recover the island. That's an interesting question, and I think that some people may have the same doubt after watching this very well made video. There are three main reasons: first, corsica was never part of Italy, it was part of the Republic of Genoa, wich in the end of 18th century decided to sell it legally to France, since maintaining genovese presence on the island and fighting off bandits and smugglers was too costly for the Republic. Second,, France owned corsica, and the French were our main allies against the Austrians during the "Guerre di Indipendenza" (indipendence wars) and going against our all lies would have been a very poor decision. Last but not least, despite its size, and the strategic importance of being an island in the middle of the Mediterranean, corsica doesn't really have much to offer. It's very very very scarcely populated (my home city, Bologna, has more inhabitants than all of corsica) no industries, no agriculture (inner corsica is CRAZILY mountainous) and the fact of being an island made it even more difficult and expensive to govern and control it, especially if you're a newly formed state like Italy, with many more problems to think about (peasants revolting against newly introduced taxes, bandits roaming the countryside, inflation, debt, and... Mafia of course) Corsica may not be an economic powerhouse, but the landscapes and the beaches are amazing! GG to France for making so many parks, national reservations and protected beaches in the island. It's really an amazing place to visit as a tourist, everyone should travel there once in their life! Ciao from Italia.

I remember that Cavour basically tricked the French to go to war with Austria because he signed a military defense pact which was achieved thanks to Virginia Oldoini, countess Castiglione, "persuading" (read: seducing) Napoleon III. Therefore France would have intervened only in the case of Austria's attack. After that, Cavour made the army march and train alongside the Austrian border which enraged the Austrians who gave him an ultimatum to demobilize which he refused. Thus Austria attacked and the French were dragged into the war to fight for us.

The French offered undeniable and crucial help during the Second war of unification (Solferino and Magenta, the two major battles of the war, were won by the French. Throughout the war the French had the overwhelming majority of guns and manpower as well), but I think France also made a lot from it. They got the Pope’s favour, got more influential by winning a war, annexed Nice and Savoie. So I think it’s actually a win-win situation, France didn’t mind fighting Austria and Napoleon III liked Italy as he had grown up there as a kid.

One thing that is not stated in this video is that the concept of an united Italy precedes the 1800 by a LOT. A conspicuous amount of intellectuals, poets, novelists and artists dreamed about the unity of the peninsula well before the Renaissance. Dante Alighieri was one of them and he was born in the mid 1200, late Middle-age! Although, these ideas where shared only between the literate classes and they took centuries to reach the regular folks.

To say it more accurately: a couple of intellectual men wished for a unified Italy remembering the good ol days of the Roman Empire, but the Italian Nation did NOT exist. The Italian unification was an act of violence that suppressed and destroyed many cultures through brutal force to satisfy the gains of a couple of kings who didn't even speak Italian at home

Yeah especially considering Petrarca ( not from Latium) gave his support to the Roman reppublic that claimed to unify Italy and rule Europe

⁠@@_LoremIpsumNo Alto Adige is the italian Name for South Tyrol-Trentino. Italy united the two territories of Bolzano and Trento to achieve an Italian majority in the population. But for Austria only South Tyrol counts.

1. Nice and Savoy were not handed to France in 1859 as France had pulled out of the war just after Solferino leaving Veneto in Austrian hands. Instead, France secured Nice and Savoy a year later in exchange for accepting Upper Italy's annexation of Emilia, Romagna, and Tuscany. 2. In 1861 the capital city remained Turin, and moved to Florence only in 1865. The move was to make the capital more secure against French invasion and to reassure France and Austria that Italy had given up ambitions of annexing Rome, which it hadn't 3. The mission of Garibaldi's one thousand to Sicily happened in 1860, just after the annexation of Emilia, Romagna, and Tuscany, and not in 1859 when the Franco-Sardinians defeated Austria

Not really considering they did extremely well in the first indipendence war when they even more outnumbered. For example France lost three time a 7000 vs 600 with Italy being outnumbered or Naples losing 5 times with numerical advantage. Austria peformed better in all this battles thanks to even bigger numerical advantage and better ( uncommon) leadership.

Your channel is massively underrated

Perfect explanation! 👍

I swear the first capital was Turin the Florence for 9 years the Rome

Garibaldi is quite well known in Argentina too and many streets, squares and schools has been named after him.

Your maps are the most satisfying ever

These are fantastic videos.

Watching these videos makes me realise just how much Europeans loved going to war with each other.
