About this listen
What had previously been a European powerhouse for centuries had become a fractured mess of diverse territories. In the late 18th century, each of these states had fallen under heavy influence from both the French and Austrian nations. Those who called themselves "Italian" were silenced by the likes of Klemens von Metternich, Chancellor and Foreign Minister of the Austrian Empire, responsible for leading the charge against unification.
A great effort would be required to unite the people of the Italian Peninsula and in order to achieve the targets of thousands of Liberals, Radicals and Nationalists, it would take the heroics of Giuseppe Mazzini, Giuseppe Garibaldi, and Count Camillo Cavour to name a few; prominent individuals whose courage and ideologies inspired many all across Europe.
Discover the events which took place, including constant suppression from Metternich and the Austrians, three wars for Italian Independence, the attempted assassination of Emperor Napoleon III of the French Empire, and the sensational story of Garibaldi and the thousand.
