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.
