Why were the roles of Cavour and Garibaldi complementary despite being different?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Cavour advanced unification through diplomacy and Garibaldi through a popular military campaign
Cavour worked from the government of Sardinia-Piedmont and used modernisation, alliances, and diplomacy to weaken Austrian influence and expand the unification project. Garibaldi mobilised volunteers known as the Red Shirts and conquered Sicily and Naples, adding southern territories to the cause. Their methods differed—cabinet diplomacy versus popular military action—but their gains could be brought together under Victor Emmanuel II. The alternatives reverse their identities or assign them unrelated national roles.
