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.

Sardinia
King Charles Albert (1798-1849) was King of Sardinia when Sardinia (which held lands south of Switzerland in mainland Europe) attacked Austria in the First War of Italian Independence (1848).
The Italian unification movement, or Risorgimento, began to take shape in the early 19th century, with significant developments occurring in Sicily and Sardinia. The insurrections in Sicily in 1848 and the establishment of the Kingdom of Sardinia under King Charles Albert were pivotal moments. The movement gained momentum following the leadership of figures like Giuseppe Garibaldi, particularly during the Expedition of the Thousand in 1860, which helped to unify much of Italy under the Kingdom of Italy by 1861.

Napoleon was engaged in his first fighting in the early 1793 when he took part with the rank of lieutenant- colonel of artillery in an aborted tentative of seizing the Sardinia's town of La Maddalena in Northern Sardinia. Indeed he was not in command of the task force and he was not responsible for the failure. The action was directed against the Kingdom of Sardinia.
