Step-by-step explanation:
I'd be glad to help you with your questions. Let's break them down one by one:
1. **Why wasn't Cavour concerned with unifying all of Italy?**
Cavour's focus was on the northern Italian states. He believed that a united Italy would only be possible if led by the Kingdom of Sardinia, which he sought to expand and strengthen.
2. **Who were the major "players" and what were their beliefs?**
Major players included Cavour, who aimed to unify Italy under Sardinian leadership; Garibaldi, a nationalist military leader; and Mazzini, who advocated for a democratic republic.
3. **What did the pope do to most members of the Risorgimento?**
The Pope was opposed to the Risorgimento (Italian unification) and excommunicated most members who supported or participated in the movement.
4. **How did the ordinary people of Italy feel about the events taking place?**
The feelings varied, but many ordinary Italians were inspired by the idea of a unified Italy and hoped for improved living conditions, economic progress, and a sense of national identity.
5. **What was the purpose in "correcting" the facts of unification thus far after 1861? Does the author want these "corrections" to continue to stand?**
The purpose might have been to provide a more accurate historical account. Without the full context, I can't determine if the author wants these corrections to continue to stand.
6. **Why is Garibaldi depreciated in the unification process?**
Garibaldi's methods and ideals sometimes clashed with the more conservative aims of Cavour and the monarchy. His attempt to take over Rome from the Papal States led to tensions and competition between him and the Sardinian government.
7. **List the various reasons the author finds Garibaldi admirable?**
Without specific text, I can't provide a list, but some reasons might include his dedication to Italian unification, his bravery as a military leader, and his populist appeal.
8. **What was Garibaldi's major contribution to unification?**
Garibaldi's contribution was his military campaigns, especially his leadership in conquering Sicily and southern Italy, which significantly contributed to the unification process.
9. **What was the role of foreign aid in the unification process? Cavour's role in foreign aid? Garibaldi's role in foreign aid?**
Foreign aid, especially from France and Britain, played a role in supporting Italian unification efforts. Cavour worked diplomatically to gain support, and Garibaldi received aid during his campaigns, such as the "Thousand" in Sicily.
10. **What are the four ingredients in forming a nation? How did the unification process relate to them?**
Typically, the four ingredients are: a common territory, a common language, a common culture, and a sense of unity or shared identity. The unification process aimed to bring these elements together to create a united Italian nation.
