Hello @extrahistory. At the 3:00 mark you seem to imply that Napoleon had Italian heritage. this would be true if he was from originally Sardinia, but his family actually originated (as mentioned in the video) from Corsica, an island that was never part of 'Italy' and today is part of France. is this a mistake?

As an italian, I started the video thinking I'd see a less glamorous image of Garibaldi than the one I'd been taught in school. Instead it turns out Giuseppe was even more of a badass than I was ever told.

[@jaydenriemer3970]

Giuseppe Garibaldi doesn't get nearly as much recognition as he deserves, he played a massive role in uniting Italy, he was a great general, and just a generally a badass

[@mr.archivity]

Doesn’t? Even an UK (if I remember correctly) football team are called “garibaldini” to honor him. And that’s one of the least known form to honor him. He was literally the most known man during its time.

[@pratikmandal1350]

He's probably the most famous Italian school kids in India know. We had a really great history teacher. She would teach us the topic "Nationalism and Unification of Italy" similar to how KZbin videos do now. Garibaldi and the Guerilla warfare in Sicily is the one thing I remember even a decade later.

[@Gyrusdorf]

It pleases me a lot to see EH covering this man. I'm part Italian and an ancestor of mine (I believe it was a Great-great-grandfather? Might need to throw in another "great" for good measure) was one of Garibaldi's men. He too went to South America and settled down there (Argentina, specifically).

Fun fact: Garibaldi is so loved around the two words that is the only historical character to ever appear in both Us and Ussr's stamps. Another fun fact: since Garibaldi's expertise in warfare so was known in all the world that Abraham Lincoln sent an ambassador to Italy in order to enlist Garibaldi to fight for the Union as general, but he refused since there was no 100% garantee that the slaves would be freed in case of North's victory.

[@foulplayer7812]

The other two reasons why he declined were that he was busy leading an expedition toward Rome as part of the Italian Risorgimento at the time, and he'd only accept the commission if he was named commander-in-chief of the Union armed forces (which was never going to happen since that job is reserved for the President).

Garibaldi wasn't selling BS when he told the troops the reality of what they would suffer if they joined him in the mountains, he was telling the honest to God truth. That straight out honesty makes him quite the trustworthy leader when he doesn't spout lies and just is straight out honest with the reality of the situation.

We have a statue of Garibaldi here in NYC in Washington Square Park. Giovanni Turini was commissioned by the newspaper Il Progresso Italo-Americano and built in 1888.

[@jonahfalcon1970]

From Gotham: General Giuseppe Garibaldi (1807-1882) is the 19th-century Italian patriot and military leader who successfully fought for the unification of Italy, which was completed in 1870. Unification, perhaps ironically, led to the mass migration of Italians to America, including the Village. Garibaldi lived in New York in 1850-1, briefly near the Village. Not long after his death, the editors of the Italian-American newspaper Progreso Italio-Americano began raising funds for a statue to memorialize the Italian patriot and hero. The bronze statue on a granite pedestal was dedicated six years later. According to the NYC Parks Department, the sculptor of the statue, Giovanni Turini (1841-1899) was a volunteer member of Garibaldi’s Fourth Regiment during the war between Italy and Austria in 1866. In 1970, the Garibaldi monument was moved about fifteen feet to the east to allow for the construction of a promenade in Washington Square. A glass vessel containing documents from the 1880s was found under the original base of the statue. The documents included newspaper accounts of Garibaldi’s death, a history of the Committee for the Monument of Garibaldi, the organization that helped place the statue, and a poster for and news clippings about the monument’s dedication.

Luckily, the way history teachers here in Italy talk about his political "agenda" isn't too much far from reality (even though it makes patriotism kick in a little bit), so we Italians (also average people from the street) do know the character really well and acknowledge his greatness unanimously. Just to make you understand how much he is loved and praised, almost every city and town here in Italy (even the smallest and least populated ones) has a place named after him. In fact, lots of cities have a road or a square named after him and one of the train stations located in the city centre of Milan is called "Milan Porta Garibaldi" (which is also one of the most important stations in all of Italy).

[@alessandroolivieri7]

Finally some love for one of the most intriguing Italians in history! And one that has also mixed feelings by Italians themselves still today, probably even more than during his life. Great work as usual congrats! Anyway when you said that being "italian" in early 19th century was like saying now being "Europeans" is a huge understatement of what being Italians ment throughout history. Italians, even divided almost always recognised themselves as united and similar, much more than what other Europeans does right now. First of all, even if they didn't speak exactly the same language, it wasn't impossible to understand Italian talked in the peninsula, as showed also by the mixed Italians units that Garibaldi guided both in Constantinople and Brazil/Uruguay. How could he speak with them if the dialects were so little intelligible between themselves? Then, it must be taken into account that there are many documentations, dating back to the crusades period (so 600 years more or less), and continuing till 19th century, when we see Italians for one part of the peninsula calling other fellow Italians actually "italians". This happened for italian crusaders meeting Genovese in the Holy Land and saying they feel home with other "italians". Finally, we have also report about this broader use of the term Italians to refer to people from the peninsula from Boccaccio and other authors throughout history. So yeah, Italy was divided, and most of the time Italians hated neighbour Italians, but for sure they still have a sense of major unity.

[@Stejers]

Even today in brazil, even tho he fought against us (for those who know about the raggamuffin war cuz the regional rebelions are not taught in schools here, only that "there were minor rebelions") he is still quite admired for his bravery, military genius and overall romanticised figure I really hate the fact that we are barely taught the war brazil was in. We are taught that brazil independence as a peaceful independence, we arent thaught about the war against gran-pará, the rebelions of pernanbuco, no one is thaught the independence of uruguay and few know about the paraguayan war. Basically no one knows that we even sent troops to itally in ww2

[@intergalactic92]

Excited for this, not just because Garibaldi is a cool figure, but also because Unification of Italy was something I studied at A-level, and it is a great story, although I suspect that some aspects (the rise of Piedmont/Sovoy) will not feature, because they won’t involve Garibaldi too much.

"Italy" was referenced by Dante. A united Italy was a dream of him. It's not true that there was no concept of Italy pre-risorgnomento One thing that stood out to me is how small Garibaldi actually was. They have his jeans in a museum in Rome.

People were just tiny in the 1800s huh? Napoleon, John Adams, Garibaldi...

Giuseppe Garibaldi: the REAL CHAD

[@HistoryandOtherStuffwithBV]

I saw some people mention some things and places whose names have something to do with Giuseppe Garibaldi. So I thought I'd add two I'm familiar with. First, his grandson of the same name partook in the Mexican Revolution. When the Mexico City Metro was being constructed, it became common practice to name stations on the Metro after revolutionary characters, factions and events. One of them bears this younger Garibaldi's name. Second, during WW2, after Italy surrendered and fell into a civil war in 1943, their troops in Yugoslavia were scrambling to return home, while on the other hand the Germans, Yugoslav Partisans, NDH, and Chetniks were trying to take as much formerly Italian-occupied territory as possible. The Germans hoped to get some Italian soldiers on their side and disarm the rest. However, in Montenegro, their success in doing so was minimal. They did weaken two of the Italian divisions stationed there, namely the Venezia and Taurinense, disarming a sizable chunk of the latter and a small chunk of the former. However, most of Venezia and the remnants of Taurinense resisted and defected to the Partisans, where they were reorganized. Some of the surviving Taurinenses formed the new partisan Aosta Brigade, while the rest joined Venezia in forming a new partisan division, and it's only this part that's relevant to Garibaldi, as they named the new division the Garibaldi Division in his honour.

So glad I found this channel, excellent video, you just earned another subscriber

[@toast_in_a_bucket7803]

First time I am actually scared for one of these As an Italian It's not that I don't trust you guys it's that I've been thrown for a loop way too many times

[@extrahistory]

We hope we do you proud!

[@justaromanenjoyer8074]

Viva l'Italia! 🇮🇹

[@andreimihai9022]

I was thinking about the Risorgimento and this popped up. Perfect!

[@andreaannunziata8268]

Thank you for talking about Garibaldi! As you will probably mention, during the last part of his life he retired to the island of Caprera in northern Sardinia. I was born in La Maddalena, the island right next to Caprera, and my grandpa recently told me about the time he met Giuseppe Garibaldi's daughter Clelia Garibaldi visiting the family's house (which is now a museum). I'm sure you will do a great job at giving people the most important pieces of information regarding his life and contributions and inspiring people to learn more about it and about the unification of Italy. P.S. It's Giuseppe (similar to -ay), though, not Giuseppi!

Ragamuffin war is the cutest name for a war ever

[@redcrown5070]

Finally after so many years... Italian content. I was dying of thirst my lord

[@napoleon_bonaparte_the_great]

We'd really love a Napoleon III series! He is seriously unappreciated, the first man to give the right to strike, to advance women's rights in France, and much else. In fact, some of the rights he did were reversed by the Republic and would not be restored until 1936!

[@LtGrandMaster]

Italian history?! LET'S F'N GOOOOOO!

[@nilaminecrafter5364]

I had not seen the channel in like month and a half , today i return to series on garibaldi and italian unification. And i have a test on italian unification tomorrow...... A wonderful coincidence

[@IBMUAK99]

Dude has a great drink named after him. Absolute 10/10

[@richeybaumann1755]

2:15 There's still a significant difference between dialects, so much so that most Italians are bilingual in Italian and their native dialect. Tuscan, specifically Florentine Tuscan, more or less became the language of the state, but there's still Venetian, Sicilian, Neapolotian, Lombard, Friulian, and many more.

[@barrankobama4840]

Worth mentioning that Italian became the "language of the state" of all pre-unitarian states in the XVI century, 3 hundreds years before unifcation.
