In 1848, Sardinia-Piedmont actively participated in the Italian unification movement. It declared war on Austria in hopes of liberating northern Italy from Austrian control and promoting nationalist sentiment. This action played a significant role in the eventual unification of Italy under the leadership of Sardinia's king, Victor Emmanuel II.
