Was a predecessor of modern Italy. The Kingdom formed during the XIX century when the Kingdom of Sardinia was able to merge the small polities of the Peninsula into a unified Kingdom, during the Italian Wars of Independence. Italy remained a Kingdom until after World War II, when a popular referundum turned Italy into a Republic.
Summary
The Unification of Italy
After the defeat of Napoleon, Italy remained divided among various ruling dynasties and foreign powers. However, a growing nationalist movement sought to unify the Italian states into a single nation. Key figures in the "Risorgimento" (or Italian unification) included Giuseppe Mazzini, Giuseppe Garibaldi, and Camillo di Cavour.
In 1861, the Kingdom of Sardinia under King Victor Emmanuel II annexed the various Italian states, declaring the foundation of the Kingdom of Italy. Cavour, the prime minister of Sardinia, played a key role in orchestrating this unification process, allying with France against Austria to gain control over northern Italy. The new kingdom faced significant challenges, including the need to integrate diverse regional identities and interests, as well as ongoing conflict with the Papacy over the status of Rome.
The Rise of the House of Savoy
The House of Savoy, rulers of the Kingdom of Sardinia, became the ruling dynasty of the united Kingdom of Italy. Victor Emmanuel II was proclaimed the first king of Italy in 1861. His son Umberto I succeeded him in 1878 and reigned until his assassination in 1900. Umberto's son Victor Emmanuel III then became king, ruling from 1900 to 1946.
The early decades of the unified Italian kingdom were marked by political and social upheaval. Tensions remained between the more industrialized north and the predominantly agricultural south. The Catholic Church also continued to oppose the loss of the Papal States. Economic modernization and nation-building efforts were hindered by persistent regional disparities, corruption, and the power of landed elites.
Imperialism and the First World War
In the late 19th century, Italy sought to expand its power and influence through colonialism. It fought a war with the Ottoman Empire in 1911-1912 to gain control of Libya. During World War I, Italy initially remained neutral but then joined the Allied powers in 1915, hoping to gain territory from Austria-Hungary. While Italy was on the winning side, the war was enormously costly and the postwar settlement was seen as unsatisfactory by many Italians.
The Rise of Fascism
The economic and social upheaval in Italy in the aftermath of World War I created an environment ripe for political extremism. The Italian Socialist Party gained strength, alarming the middle and upper classes. In response, former army officer Benito Mussolini founded the fascist movement, which came to power in the "March on Rome" in 1922. Mussolini established a dictatorship, consolidating control over the state and crushing political opposition.
Under Mussolini's "Il Duce" (the Leader), the Kingdom of Italy was transformed into the fascist "Regno d'Italia" (Kingdom of Italy). Mussolini allied Italy with Nazi Germany, and the two countries fought together in World War II as part of the Axis powers. However, after the Allied invasion of Italy in 1943, Mussolini was ousted and executed.
The Monarchy's End and the Italian Republic
In the final years of World War II, King Victor Emmanuel III tried to distance the monarchy from Mussolini's regime. However, the institution of the monarchy was thoroughly discredited. In a 1946 referendum, the Italian people voted to abolish the monarchy and establish the Italian Republic. Victor Emmanuel III abdicated in favor of his son Umberto II, but the new king only briefly reigned before the republic was declared.
The transition to a republican system was contentious, with left-wing and right-wing factions vying for power. Ultimately, a Christian Democratic government emerged, allied with the United States during the Cold War period. Italy underwent a remarkable economic transformation in the postwar decades, becoming one of the leading industrialized democracies of Europe. However, political instability, corruption scandals, and the legacy of fascism continued to pose challenges for the new Italian Republic.
