This coulse will guide you through the complex and pivotal period of the Risorgimento, transforming a collection of disparate states into a unified Italy. You will learn about the key political, social, and military events from the late 18th to the mid-19th century, understand the roles of influential figures like Mazzini, Cavour, and Garibaldi, and analyze the interplay of nationalism, liberalism, and diplomatic maneuvering that ultimately forged the modern Italian nation.
