Main characteristics of the Italian Peninsula Government and society on the eve of the 1848 revolution Italian state did not exist in the 18th century, it was a group of eight countries unrelated and irrelevant. There is a sense of campaign, solidarity within the state, political division and overall economic recessionality are different. There is no Italian in a true sense. This situation changed when Italy was occupied by France between 1796 and 1815.
In 1831, the Italian unified secret society led by Giuseppe Mazzini began. The goal is to start a revolution and unify Italy under the Republic. Like all other revolution, it failed in 1848. Although he almost failed, Mazzini was called "the soul of Italy" because it influenced the unity of Italy. In 1848, Mazzini made a revolution in Sicily. He forced Sicily to accept the Constitution. The rebellion happened all over Italy. The fight against Austria began and was backed by all major Italian city states. Piedmont - Sardinia, I call it Piedmont, the northern city state. This leads the revolt against Austria. King Charles Albert led Piedmont. In April 1848, Pope Pius IX withdrew his army when the Austrians drove Rome away from the Pope, as if they were on the verge of failure. Following that Sicily brought victory to Austria
It was a revolutionary year in 1848. In all Italian regions, Piedmont, two Siles, Papal States, Principality, Lombardy and Venice all caused some rebellion. Even if some of them temporarily succeed, they will decrease again within a year, as in the case of Venetia or Piedmont. The main reason for the uprising failure was that they first used the collapse of METNERNICH, but the resultant power vacuum was only temporary. They can not get the independence they have recently acquired. Furthermore, the idea within Italy is still lacking (Gooch, 1986, pp. 19-20). However, in the process of national construction in Italy, we must say that this regional revolution that failed this time is the most important matter. These failures create a sense of understanding why the revolution failed. We need unification of universal confusion and nationalistic feelings
