► SUBSCRIBE HERE: https://steadyhq.com/it/lastoriasultu... March 17, 1861 is a historic date: Italy is finally united. But the unity of the borders has not solved all the problems of a deeply divided nation. Camillo Benso Count of Cavour, architect of the Unification of Italy, died on June 6, 1861 in Turin, the new capital of the Kingdom. In his last reports Cavour had analyzed the Italian situation: the rift between north and south shows no signs of diminishing, on the contrary. The collapse of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, orchestrated by forces linked to the territories of the north, influences the way in which the new Italians experience unity. Agriculture contributes 60% of the GDP while the secondary and tertiary sectors are still developing. Per capita income stands at the levels of the poorest Europe. The path chosen by the Historical Right to unite the nation is that of centralization: all of Italy would have accepted the laws of the former Kingdom of Sardinia. Now, the moment has come. For the most convinced patriots, it is not only Veneto that is missing from the list: Trentino, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Lazio are territories considered culturally and historically Italian. Otto von Bismarck, Prussian Prime Minister, knocks on the door of the king of Italy. The death of Cavour in June 1861 does not extinguish the dreams of seeing Rome as the capital of the kingdom. Marching on Rome is not possible: the Kingdom of Italy cannot afford to go to war with France. The beginning of the end for the Historical Right is the political elections of 1874. In order to win overwhelmingly in the southern regions, the Historical Left had exploited the feeling of abandonment and frustration of the voters: the country appears divided, and so does Parliament. The clash with the Left is very tough: on March 18, 1876 the government loses its majority in Parliament, Minghetti is forced to leave. The Historical Right has fallen: Vittorio Emanuele II summons the former Mazzinian Agostino Depretis, an exponent of the historical left, to form a new government. Despite the terrible performance during the Third War of Independence and the political chaos caused by the capture of Rome, the young Kingdom of Italy is invited to the table of the great powers. The invitation to participate in the Congress of Berlin in 1878 projects Italy into the Olympus of the great nations, but only for a month. In 1881 the French troops occupy Tunisia and, with the blessing of Germany and the United Kingdom, create a protectorate: the episode is remembered as the slap of Tunis. On May 20, 1882 Italy joins the Triple Alliance. On July 29, 1887, Agostino Depretis, Prime Minister and illustrious exponent of the Historical Left, died while still in office. Thus ended the last Depretis government, the eighth. Umberto I appointed in his place the Minister of the Interior, also an exponent of the Historical Left and the first man from the South to hold this office in united Italy: Francesco Crispi. ► Discord Server: / discord ► Instagram (@lastoriasultubo): / lastoriasul… ► TikTok (@lastoriasultubo): https://vm.tiktok.com/ZM8tS7YR1/ ► Facebook: / lastoriasultubo ======================================= 00:00 - The death of Cavour and the problems of united Italy 03:20 - Historical Right and Left: ideas and representatives 07:27 - The Historical Right in government 12:54 - The Economy of United Italy 14:57 - Brigandage and the Mafia 17:36 - The Third War of Independence and consequences 22:50 - The Roman Question 24:51 - Garibaldi's attempts, the September Convention and the Syllabus 30:05 - Vatican Council I and the Breach of Porta Pia 33:45 - The Historical Left in government: Depretis and transformism 43:04 - From the Congress of Berlin to the Triple Alliance 46:25 - Italian colonialism 49:57 - Francesco Crispi's Italy 54:58 - Giovanni Giolitti in government, Sicilian Fasci and the Roman Bank scandal 57:47 - Crispi's return, the first Ethiopian war and the final fall ====================================== ►BIBLIOGRAPHY: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12...
