Garibaldi was born in Nice, an Italian- speaking city conquered by Napoleon and later returned to Sardinia after the Congress of Vienna. In the 1830s he met Giuseppi Mazzini, who led an Italian nationalist group called Young Italy.

Garibaldi’s men became known as the Red Shirts, because they wore shirts from the slaughterhouses of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

He participated in the 1848 revolutions against the French Empire.

Garibaldi now realized he would need the support of the Sardinian monarchy, teaming up with King Victor Emmanuel II and Prime Minister Camillo Cavour to fight the Austrians who controlled northern Italy.

With the Sardinian army, Garibaldi swept through the Italian peninsula all the way to south to Naples and Sicily. This unification was called the Risorgimiento - Resurgence
