Rome or Death! Garibaldi and Co. – Italy’s Ristorgimento

Course Summary

The long struggle to create a unified nation now behind them, the leaders of the new Kingdom of Italy sought to convince a disparate populace of their achievement, but a deeply entrenched division between North and South, an intransigent Pope, the rise of socialism and a climate of economic uncertainty presented serious obstacles. The outbreak of war in 1914 further divided the country and accelerated the rise of the ambitious, opportunistic Benito Mussolini who proceeded to dominate the stage until 1943.

Now join Garibaldi and the people of 19th Century Italy in their struggle for independence and nationhood.
