What political direction is shown by Garibaldi handing over his victory to Victor Emmanuel II?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The merging of a popular campaign into unification under monarchical leadership
Garibaldi’s volunteers conquered Sicily and much of southern Italy, but he did not establish the republic he had once supported. By handing the conquered territories to Victor Emmanuel II, he prioritised the unity of Italy under the Sardinian monarchy. This made the popular southern campaign part of a monarchical national state. Hence A is correct; B reverses the outcome and C and D are unrelated.
