If an exam asks whether Italian unification was the work of only one leader, what is the most correct answer?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: No; it resulted from the different roles of Mazzini, Cavour, Garibaldi, and Victor Emmanuel II.
The governing concept is the combined contribution of ideological, diplomatic, military, and monarchical forces. Mazzini spread the vision of a united republic; Cavour used diplomacy and alliances; Garibaldi led the expedition that conquered Sicily and Naples; Victor Emmanuel II provided monarchical state leadership. Thus A is correct. Each alternative wrongly credits one actor or confuses German developments with Italian unification.
