Why was Mazzini's role important even though it had limits in Italian unification?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: He spread the idea of national unity but could not himself achieve final political unification
Mazzini made nationalism a powerful moral and political ideal through Young Italy and his call for a united, independent republic. His revolutionary attempts and uprisings failed, so he did not complete unification. Later, Cavour, Garibaldi and Victor Emmanuel II achieved unity through diplomacy, war and monarchy. Option A captures both his major contribution and his limitation; B, C and D are false.
