Why did Cavour take help from France against Austria?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because it was difficult for Sardinia-Piedmont alone to challenge Austria
The governing concept is diplomatic alliance-building in the struggle against imperial control. Austria was a powerful empire that controlled or influenced much of northern Italy, while Sardinia-Piedmont alone lacked sufficient military strength. Cavour therefore secured French support to improve his position and defeat Austria in 1859. Option A is correct; France did not permanently rule Italy, and the other statements reverse or invent historical facts.
