Garibaldi, Cavour, and Napoleon III
The main leaders of Italian unification were Giuseppe Garibaldi, Count Camillo di Cavour, and King Victor Emmanuel II, who played crucial roles in the unification process during the mid-19th century. In Germany, key figures included Otto von Bismarck, who orchestrated the unification through diplomacy and wars, and King Wilhelm I of Prussia, who became the first German Emperor. Both movements were marked by a mix of military action and political maneuvering to consolidate fragmented states into unified nations.

German unification, achieved in 1871 under Otto von Bismarck, was characterized by a top-down approach, primarily driven by Prussia's military strength and political maneuvering, resulting in a powerful German Empire. In contrast, Italian unification, completed in 1870, involved a more grassroots movement fueled by nationalistic sentiments and the efforts of leaders like Giuseppe Garibaldi and Count Cavour, which led to the establishment of a fragmented Italian state with significant regional differences. Additionally, Germany emerged as a dominant industrial power, while Italy faced economic challenges and political instability post-unification.
Both Germany and Italy were divided into many independent Reigns, Duchies, Principality etc. The greatest obstacle to their unification was given by the influence of the Austrian Empire, whose main interest was that of maintain unaltered those "mosaics" in order to better control both countries.
