Order of Events in Italian Unification

The correct order of significant events in the Italian unification process is as follows:

1. Count Cavour became leader of Sardinia.
2. Giuseppe Garibaldi joined southern Italy to northern Italy.
3. The papal states (including Rome) joined Italy.

Count Camillo di Cavour was appointed Prime Minister in 1852 and later formed an alliance with Napoleon III, leading to victories against Austria and the expansion of Piedmont-Sardinia. Meanwhile, Garibaldi, a nationalist and revolutionary figure, captured Sicily and continued to conquer the south, which he later ceded to Victor Emmanuel II, aiding in the unification.

The final piece was the annexation of the papal states, including Rome, into the newly formed Kingdom of Italy after the French protection was withdrawn during the Franco-Prussian War in 1870.

This correct answer c) Count Cavour became leader of Sardinia, papal states (including Rome) joined Italy, Giuseppe Garibaldi joined southern Italy to northern Italy.
