WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -A revolt in Sicily, beginning on April 4, 1860, caused Garibaldi to make the decision to begin with an attack on the Bourbon kingdom in the south. On the night of May 5–6, he embarked from Quarto (a suburb of Genoa) with more than 1, 000 men, mostly idealistic young northerners.

Detailed explanation-2: -Garibaldi fought for Italian unity and almost single-handedly united northern and southern Italy. He led a volunteer army of guerrilla soldiers to capture Lombardy for Piedmont and later conquered Sicily and Naples, giving southern Italy to King Victor Emmanuel II of Piedmont, who established the Kingdom of Italy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Garibaldi’s march to “liberate” the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies in 1860 brought the southern peninsula into the fold, and the new Kingdom of Italy was proclaimed on March 17, 1861, with the royal family of Piedmont-Sardinia as the new ruling monarchs of Italy.

Detailed explanation-4: -In southern Italy, Italian nationalists were led by Giuseppe Garibaldi. He led the Red Shirts, an army who wore bright red shirts into battle. They captured the island of Sicily and then crossed into the Italian mainland. They conquered Southern areas and agreed to unite with Piedmont-Sardinia in the north.

Detailed explanation-5: -In 1860 CE, a large number of armed volunteers called Red Shirts led by Guiseppe Garibaldi entered South Italy and the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. They drove out the Spanish rulers with the help of the local peasants.
