The Treaty of Paris that brough the Crimean War to an end did little to bring stability to Europe. The leader of Sardinia-Piedmont, Count Cavour, used the meetings at Paris to demand unification for Italy. At that time, Italy was made up of many separate states, most controlled by Austria. The movement for independence, known as the Risorgimento, started in the 1820s and 1830s. In 1858 Sardinia-Piedmont allied itself with France and drove out the Austrians from much of northern Italy. The successful revolt by Guiseppe Garibaldi and his 'red shirts' led evetually to the unification of all of Italy. Italy was declared a kingdom under King Victor- Emmanuel II in 1861. Rome was captured and made the capital of a unified Italy in 1871.
