The North was ruled by the Austrian Empire, the South by the Spanish-descended monarchy of the Two Sicilies. Over the next two decades, after wars led by Savoy\/Piedmont and volunteers such as Garibaldi, an independent Kingdom of Italy emerged. These conflicts saw foreign interventions and shifting alliances among minor states, and attracted a variety of local and foreign volunteers.This second volume in a two part series covers the armies of the Papal States; the duchies of Tuscany, Parma, and Modena; the republics of Rome and San Marco (Venice) and the transitional Kingdom of Sicily; and the various volunteer movements. These varied armies and militias wore a wide variety of highly colorful uniforms which are brought to life in stunning, specially commissioned, full color artwork from Giuseppe Rava.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51960205345056,"sku":"NEW1472826248","price":21.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/armies-of-the-italian-wars-of-unification-1848-70-2-papal-states-minor-states-volunteers-men-at-arms-1472826248","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
