Giuseppe Garibaldi was a military man. He helped with Italian unification with his fame and charisma. He backed Victor Emmanuel, king of Piedmont-Sardinia. He later disagreed with Victor Emmanuel and became the dictator of the Two Sicilies. Eventually Victor Emmanuel became king of a united Italy but was nervous about Garibaldi being more popular than him. In 1862, Garibaldi was asked to raise an army to fight the Austrians. Garibaldi raised an army and invaded the papal states instead. King Emmanuel was upset and ordered him taken prisoner.

Basically Giuseppe Garibaldi was the type of man that made people want to be part of a united Italy. He was able to fight well against his enemies.
