Ten Minute History - The Unification of Italy (Short Documentary)

# data[].attributes.body
The Revolutions of 1848 began in Palermo and spread throughout Italy, with people demanding a new and more liberal constitution. While some rulers, like Ferdinand II of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, granted constitutions, others like the Austrian government refused to comply, leading to the loss of nearly all Lombardy-Venetia. The revolutions were eventually suppressed, but they paved the way for the unification of Italy in 1861 under the rule of Victor Emmanuel II, who was instrumental in making alliances and forming an army to fight for Italian independence. Despite challenges, including economic poverty and internal division, Italy was able to complete territorial unification by acquiring Venetia and Rome.

The first of the Revolutions of 1848 erupted in Palermo on January 9. Starting as a popular insurrection, it soon took on overtones of Sicilian separatism and spread throughout the island. Piecemeal reforms proved inadequate to satisfy the revolutionaries, both noble and bourgeois, who were determined to have a new and more liberal constitution. Ferdinand II of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies was the first to grant one (January 29, 1848). Other rulers were compelled to follow his example: Leopold II on February 17, Charles Albert on March 4, and Pope Pius IX on March 14. The Austrian government, on the other hand, did not yield to popular pressure. Instead, it reinforced its garrisons in Lombardy-Venetia, arrested opposition leaders in Venice and Milan, and suppressed student demonstrations in the university cities of Padua and Pavia. By March 22-23, when revolution had also reached Budapest and Vienna, Venetian and Milanese insurgents moved to depose their Austrian overlords. Within a few days the Austrian army lost nearly all of Lombardy-Venetia and retreated into the Quadrilateral (the region between Mantua, Peschiera, Verona, and Legnago).

On March 23 Charles Albert of Sardinia-Piedmont declared war on Austria. It was a risky decision, but prospects for a national war seemed promising, and he wanted to seize the initiative to preclude republican and democratic domination of the insurgency. After annexing Parma and Modena, whose rulers had been driven out by insurgents, the Piedmontese won a few more victories before suffering reverses. Pius IX, Leopold II, and Ferdinand II, all of whom had initially sent troops to northern Italy to support the Piedmontese army, hastily withdrew their forces. The pope's address to the cardinals on April 29 revealed his reluctance to back national movements against Austria and did much to discredit him among patriots. Lombardy and Venetia, though not without internal opposition, accepted merger with Piedmont. Nevertheless, the Piedmontese army was unable to withstand the Austrian counteroffensive. After a series of defeats, Charles Albert's forces withdrew from Milan and on August 6 left the city and its insurgents to the mercy of the returning Austrians. Accusations of royal treachery, formulated by Lombard democrats at that moment, long survived in Italian political debates. By the terms of the Salasco armistice (August 9, 1848), the Piedmontese army abandoned Lombardy. In Piedmont the new constitution, the Statuto Albertino (Albertine Statute), remained in force, and democratic ideas survived.

Throughout Europe the forces of reaction were triumphant. The Revolutions of 1848 were suppressed in Vienna, Prague, Budapest, and Paris. In Naples the king regained power in a coup on May 15 and went on to reconquer Sicily. Meanwhile, in Rome the papacy reintroduced a range of obscurantist policies. Venice, however, under the dictatorship of Daniele Manin, refused to accept the Salasco armistice and resisted the Austrian siege. Leopold II of Tuscany took refuge in the Bourbon fortress of Gaeta in February 1849, when the democrats Giuseppe Montanelli and Francesco Domenico Guerrazzi were on the verge of taking control of the government and proclaiming an Italian constituent assembly. In Rome the minister Pellegrino Rossi, a former member of the Carbonari who had promoted conciliatory policies after returning from exile in France, was assassinated on November 15, 1848. This event triggered a democratic insurgency and caused Pius IX to flee to the safety of Gaeta. A constituent assembly elected by universal male suffrage proclaimed the Roman Republic on February 5, 1849.

The Italian revolution seemed to have been reborn. However, Charles Albert, pressed by Piedmontese democrats to resume his war with Austria (March 20, 1849), saw his army routed at Novara three days later. On the same day, March 23, he abdicated and went into exile. His successor, Victor Emmanuel II, was granted an honourable armistice because the Austrians did not want a weakened Savoy monarchy that could be exploited to the advantage of its democratic opponents. The defeat of Piedmont made the position of the democratic and republican opposition untenable in other parts of Italy as well. In Tuscany moderates recalled the grand duke, whose Austrian protectors crushed an insurrection in radical Livorno (May 1849). In Lombardy the Austrian reconquest of Brescia in March, after 10 days of fighting, left Venice isolated, though the city resisted enemy forces until August. The Roman Republic, led by Mazzini and Garibaldi, held out until July 3 against a French army sent by Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte, the new president of the French Republic (later the emperor Napoleon III), whose restoration of the papacy repaid his Roman Catholic supporters. The returning sovereigns rapidly set about abrogating constitutions, disbanding parliaments, and, especially in the south, filling the prisons.

The video explores various factors that led to the Latin American Revolutions, including economic inequality, enlightenment ideas, and the role of key revolutionary figures. The revolutions were a response to the oppressive political and economic systems established by European colonizers, including the Spanish and Portuguese. The revolutionaries sought to establish new governments that were based on ideals like democracy, freedom, and equality. The revolutions succeeded in gaining independence for many Latin American countries, but they also faced challenges as they worked to establish lasting political stability and social equality.

The article discusses Brazil's struggle for independence from Portugal between 1789 and 1810. The Brazilian people desired liberation and formed several movements to achieve it, including the Minas Conspiracy in 1789 and the Pernambuco revolt in 1817. However, these efforts were unsuccessful, and it was not until 1822 that Brazil finally gained its independence and became an empire with the Portuguese royal family as its rulers.

The 1848 revolution in Germany was caused by economic depression and crop failures. After King Louis-Philippe was overthrown in France, sympathizers in Germany began a series of revolutions against the Confederation. Political unification was attempted through a national assembly, but there were differences between liberals and democrats, and over national unification. The revolution ended in 1849 with the victory of the conservatives, followed by a period of reaction. However, the 1850s saw an economic boom, with the great breakthrough of industrial capitalism occurring in Germany. The 1860s saw the revival of the movement for liberal reform and national unification, leading to the Seven Weeks' War between Prussia and Austria. Prussia emerged victorious, leading to the creation of the North German Confederation, which was later expanded into the German Empire.

Germany - Revolutions, 1848-49: The hard times that swept over the Continent in the late 1840s transformed widespread popular discontent in the German Confederation into a full-blown revolution. After the middle of the decade, a severe economic depression halted industrial expansion and aggravated urban unemployment. At the same time, serious crop failures led to a major famine in the area from Ireland to Russian Poland. In the German states, the hungry 1840s drove the lower classes, which had long been suffering from the economic effects of industrial and agricultural rationalization, to the point of open rebellion. There were sporadic hunger riots and violent disturbances
