Steps in unification - all orchestrated by the Brain!!!
• 1) Cavour makes an alliance with France against Austria
• France’s Napoleon III agrees to help them in war against Austria. Napoleon does not favor Italian unification but hopes to weaken Austria
• Sardinia hopes to get Lombardy & Venetia• France would get Nice & Savoy from Sardinia

• 2) Sardinia gains Lombardy, but not Venetia because France backs out (but still wants payment from Sardinia) by signing Treaty of Villa Franca with Austria
• 3) other northern Italian states revolt against their rulers - vote to join with Sardinia - so Northern Italy united under Sardinia
