Notes 3/17- Continued from yesterday

• 1861- Victor Emmanuel becomes king of united Italy
• Garibaldi is happy and leaves
• Cavour dies
• Austria and Prussia are going to go to war
• Italy sides with Prussia, and Prussia wins
• Prussia gives Italy the Venito, including Venice as a thank you
• Then, Prussia goes to war with France in the Franco-Prussian war
• Italy sided with Prussia again, and Prussia won
• As a thank you, Prussia made sure that all the French were swept out of Rome, Emmanuel's forces descend upon Rome, and they make it the capitol of Italy. 
• When Emmanuel's forces go into Rome, they do not tell everyone what to do, they put it up for a vote. They offer for them to either join Italy, or stay under the Pope. They join Italy. They kicked the pope out and limit his rule to the Vatican. 
• Because Italy was new at the nationhood thing, the democracy they had was limited. a lot of authority still rested on the king
• There was great disparity between the north and the south.
