The American and French revolutions

gave rise to an impassioned struggle
for unification and independence in the
city-states of Italy, which were
controlled by the Austrian Empire, the
Pope and King Victor Emmanuelle, an
Italian-born ruler. Revolutionary groups
like the Carboneri and Young Italy
organized coordinated uprisings
against these powers, eventually
establishing a Roman Republic in
1849. Even though the republic was
quickly dismantled by French forces
supporting the Pope, the spirit of
nationalism was not vanquished. In
1861, leaders in Sardinia-Piedmont,
the strongest city-state, succeeded in
establishing the Kingdom of Italy, which
eventually united the peninsula under a
constitutional monarchy.
