How was Count Cavour's diplomacy different from Mazzini's nationalist vision?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Cavour used state power and foreign alliances
Mazzini sought to inspire a united Italy through revolutionary ideas, popular mobilisation and republican nationalism. Cavour followed a practical, diplomatic path as the prime minister of Sardinia-Piedmont: he used the state’s army, negotiations and alliances, including cooperation with France, to challenge Austria. Thus, option A correctly identifies the difference in method. The other options either reverse their roles or refer to German unification rather than Cavour’s Italian strategy.
