Camillo Cavour was the liberal prime minister of the Kingdom of Piedmont - Sardinia. He provoked a war with Austria, and with the help of the French he won. As a result, most of northern Italy voted to join Piedmont. (In the south, Garibaldi captured Sicily and Naples and the southern states joined the northern union.) So, Italy was united in 1861.
Otto Von Bismarck was the prime minister and foreign minister of Prussia. (Prussia had been a conservative and militaristic monarchy.) TThe Prussians decided to unite Germany but to do so, first they had to win over Austria, becausee she wanted to do the same under their leadership.
Austria was defeated by the Prussians in 1866, and this meant that the Habsburgs were excluded from the unification. After the victory, Otto von bismarck made the northern states into a North German Confederation, and when they defeated the French as well, the southern territories joined the Confederation too. In 1871, the united Germany was born with Wilhelm I as Emperor of Germany.
Both politicians led their peoples (often to wars) to achieve their main goal: the creation of their nation-states.

All three of these men led the unification of their respective homelands (Bismarck - Germany, Cavour - Italy, Meiji - Japan) in the mid-to-late 1800s and the industrialization and modernization of their countries. The unifications in all cases required impressive military tactics and diplomatic acumen. These leaders also thrust their countries into the imperialist land grab in Africa, Asia, and Oceania, trying to get any territories not already taken by UK, France, Portugal, Netherlands, or Belgium.
Cavour saw Garibaldi as a useful tool to help achieve his goal of Italian unification. By aligning with Garibaldi and his popular support, Cavour could advance the cause of unification more effectively. Garibaldi's military successes also helped weaken the opposition to unification.
Camillo Benso Earl of Cavour, Giuseppe Garibaldi, King Vittorio Emanuele of Savoy, Giuseppe Mazzini are considered the most prominent makers of Italy unification.
Camillo used Otto Von Bismarck's Realpolitik to strengthen Sardinia's economy and also formed alliances with Britain and France to help gain territory from Austria.
