Why was Italy Unified?

Answer 1

The unification of Italy occurred in 1815. The unification came as the Napoleonic rule crumbled, and there was a need to unite the different states of Italy under one umbrella. This is why the concept of Kingdom of Italy was introduced.

Answer 2

Before the Congress of Vienna the French occupation had far reaching affects on Italy. The power of the Church and the Pope was reduced, changes were made in landownership and land was redistributed. A new middle class began to appear. Agriculture was improved and the peasants were freed from their old feudal ties and obligations. Then when Napoleon was defeated and the restoration of the old regime and monarchs was started, Italy again became a country divided into eleven independent states, excluding the tiny principalities and the Republic of San Marino. So Italy was not unified after the Congress of Vienna due to a number of reasons, such as the foreign influence of the Central European Powers, parochialism within the states, the lack of a common language and a strong economy coupled with the poor geography that separated Italy from itself and the rest of Europe.

Answer 3

Because most of the Italian middle-class and nobility aspired to get rid of the myriad of States, ruled by Austria, Papal States, Bourbon Dynasty and many foreign Duchies in which the country was divided, to unify themselves in an Italian Nation.

The Reign of Piedmont, thanks to the ability of its rulers, was able to gather around him that will, becoming the symbol and the means which would have led such a unification.
