In the 1840s, Italy was a patchwork of states.

The North was ruled by the Austrian Empire, the South by the Spanish-descended monarchy of the Two Sicilies.

Over the next two decades, after wars led by Savoy/Piedmont and volunteers such as Garibaldi, an independent Kingdom of Italy emerged.

These conflicts saw foreign interventions and shifting alliances among minor states, and attracted a variety of local and foreign volunteers.

This second volume in a two part series covers the arm.
