No. Italy was already an independent state from 1861. The Franco-Prussian War resulted in the unification of the North German Federation with the southern German states of Baden, Wurttemberg, and Bavaria and the former French territories of Elsaß-Lothringen to create the German Empire.
I have no idea what you're talking about, but here's my answer... I DON'T KNOW!
Led the war for South American independence.
It didn't. Italy was one of few countries that had no reason to fear German invasion because Italy was Germany's ally and fellow Facist nation.
Algeria fought a war in order to achieve decolonization. The Algerian War was fought from 1954 to 1962, and while the French won a military victory, the ultimate result was independence for Algeria.
The Confederate States of America.
The Confederacy wanted and believed it could achieve independence from the US. It almost happened.
Italy gained its independence in 1861, with the Second War of Independence (the First War had basically failed). That year, the Italian State (first a Kingdom, from 1948 a Republic) was also established. The two countries that owned most of Italy were the Austrian Empire to the North and the Borbons (who were Spanish) in the South; the rest of Italy was fragmented into many small kingdoms and shires. The Kingdom of Piedmont, governed by the Savoy dynasty, promoted two wars against Austria and the Borbons with the help of France. In 1861, most of Italy had reunited under the Piedmont crown. But it was not the end of it: Rome was retrieved from the Church State in 1870; a Third War of Independence, during which Italy was allied to Bismarck's Prussia against Austria, allowed for recovery of certain Northern regions that were still in Austrian hands; finally, after victory in the First World War the last Italian territories were reconquered to Italy.
Many of the African colonies demanded freedom after WW2 and were granted independence during the 1960's and 1970's
The American War of Independence (1775-1782), a civil war in which some of the British colonists living in America took up arms against their fellow countrymen in America and Britain to achieve self-government.
On December 24, 1951 Libya gained its independence from Italy. They won their Independence after World War 2. They were allies with Italy and fought with them to the very end. Then Italy decided, since they were a major help during the war, to give them their independence. King Idris led the push for independence for Libya. Then Libya discovered a large Oil Reserve and petroleum, so Libya then became a rich country, but it was still a monarchy so the money went to King Idris and the royal families.
The Philippines attempted to achieve its independence by going to war with the United States following the Spanish-American War in 1898. After Spain ceded the Philippines to the U.S. under the Treaty of Paris, Filipino leaders declared independence, leading to the Philippine-American War (1899-1902). The conflict arose from resistance to American colonial rule, as Filipinos sought to establish their own sovereign government. Ultimately, the war resulted in the U.S. retaining control over the Philippines until 1946, when the country finally gained full independence.
Independence did not happen in one fell swoop. Everyone remembers 1776 as the year of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. It took a war from 1775 till 1783 to achieve independence.
