Italy is Irelands mortal enemy. The flags are too damn similar. So, i'm glad we are cucking them, their birthday is overshadowed by a bullshit holiday that is just an excuse to get drunk. Feels good.
Happy birthday Italy

And nothing of importance was gained.
Italy has such potential, to bad their logistics is complete shit.
How important was the count of Cavour to the unification?
What were the diplomatic relations between Italy and the other European states in 1861?

Italy is a pretty cool guy eh hero of two worlds and doesn't afraid of anything
Pretty serious question here, why attack an ideological ally when your only way of attacking was through a bunch of mountains?
Why not like, I dunno, ally with them or something?

He's right. There were a dozen ways to unify Italy, and the Savoia chose the worst one, even for their own self interest.

Only mistake wasn't also implementing french language together with the frech lawcodes they literally copypasted.

60% of ethnic italian citizens aren't fluent in their national meme language
In some places like near the capital foreigners are more likely to have fluency than ethnic residents.

>60% of ethnic italian citizens aren't fluent in their national meme language
Actually, come unification time it was 2,5% or 10% of the population being italian speakers, depending on which data you use. Nowadays you'll not find one single italian born individual who isn't fluent in italian proper.

>Only mistake wasn't also implementing french language
Not even the Savoia spoke french. Might as well have adopted greek becuase that what some southerners spoke at the time.

Mussolini was too scared of the psychopath up north. He needed to expand to not seem an easy pray after the war, and he just helped Franco seize power. He didn't have a lot of choices
Cuck move though
