What approaches did camillo Di Cavour use to try to acquire more territory for Piedmont Sardinia'?

Answer 1

Camillo diCavour was the Prime Minister who worked to expand Piedmont-Sardina's territory and power. He used careful diplomacy, well-chosen alliances, and cunning to accomplish this.

Answer 2

He managed to improve the relationship with Napoleon III offering to enter in the alliance in being between Great Britain, French Empire, and the Ottoman Empire at the outbreak of Crimean War. A Piedmont-Sardinia Expeditionary Force of some 18,000 troops were deployed on Crimea to reinforce the Allied forces in the conflict.

The valiant behaviour of the Italian soldiers led the Piedmont-Sardinia Reign to gain a place in the Peace Negotiation Board in 1856 and strengthen the relations with France.

Then he developed a discreet but effective diplomatic activity with Napoleon III also by the involvement of the Countess of Castiglione's female charm to exploit the sympathy Napoleon had expressed towards the Italian blames against the Austrian dominance in North Italy.

This action led to a secret agreement stating that should Austria declare war on Piedmont, France would be committed to militarily intervene on the side of Piedmont.

Then Cavour managed, by means of open provocations, that Austria declared war on Piedmont, giving the start to the French intervention and the second War of Independence of Italy, which ended by the Austrian defeat and the acquirement of Lombardy by the Reign of Piedmont Sardinia.

The aftermath of Austrian defeat led then to the domino effect of riots in the Duchy of Modena, Parma , Reggio, Guastalla and the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, whose rulers were overthrown and their populations asked, by means of a plebiscite, to be annexed to Piedmont.

Those were the first steps towards the setting up of Italy as a joint State.
