Giuseppe Garibaldi: Uniting Italy | Tooky History

Giuseppe Garibaldi was a professional rebel fighter and the main name behind Italian unification.

Like the video if you enjoyed it and leave us your thoughts in the comments below!

As a marine merchant, Garibaldi was fighting for the idea of a unified Italy. Austria, however, crushed the uprising and sentenced Garibaldi to death, which he avoided by escaping to South America.

After becoming a hero there by fighting in Brazil and Uruguay, Garibaldi came back to join the Italian revolution.

As a Piedmontese, Garibaldi offered his services to the king of Piedmont-Sardinia. Nonetheless, he was rejected and went to Milan. In the following years, Garibaldi was a part of the revolution which saw Piedmont-Sardinia take over Lombardy and Tuscany.

He joined the revolution in Sicily and became the leader of fight against the Neapolitan kingdom. Garibaldi was the dictator of Sicily and took over the rest of the south. After attacking the Papacy twice, he failed as the king didn’t back him up and was imprisoned.

Garibaldi retired to his island of Caprera, and although he didn’t take part in Italy’s capture of Rome, he lived to see his dream happen – A unified Italy, “free from the Alps to the Adriatic”.

Welcome to Tooky History, we’re making videos about people who led astonishing lives and who you probably don't know a lot about!

San Marino is so interesting because it did not unify with the rest of Italy. It's also the world's oldest republic, which is pretty cool.

Interestingly enough, a number of men who fought under Garibaldi to unify Italy later joined the Union Army during the U.S. Civil War and formed what became known as the "Garibaldi Guard" of New York.

I'm sorry, but I would like to ask you a question?
why did you represent Garbaldi with the image of Don Vito Corleone?

[BADRBOY]

"One day and that day will eventually come, we'll see a unified Italy, till that day accept this land as part of your kingdom"Garibaldi upon handing his land to king Victor...yes It's a Godfather reference
