Hey Extra History, great episode. In the spirit of spooky season, can you cover the Soap Opera-esque Life and Death of Inez De Castro, the Post- Mortem queen of Portugal?

[@estellamoreno8263]

Exta history please make a video about the headless horseman

[@naimatahiri6960]

Hey have you guys ever thought of making a series about the 2nd french empire and napoleon the third I think that would be a very interessting subject

[@thetruerift]

I am very disappointed that you didn't touch on Garibaldi's service with the Earth Alliance or his pivotal role in telepath war.

[@DarkJMKnight]

I came here to expressly say this! I'm glad someone else did. I never learned about Garibaldi in school, but I did learn about him on TNT!

[@jacobkristos1214]

When Victor Emanuele him "Mrrrr Garibaldiii"

[@BackgroundHistory]

My favourite fact about Cavour 'the Bismarck of Italy', was that once I read that one of his biographers said that he was a bit of a stress eater, very relatable!

[@builditfrom0]

I think Count Cavour also deserves some attention 'the brain of unification of Italy ' esp his diplomatic and strategic tactics.

[@p_filippouz]

He absolutely does! 50% of the work was done with his diplomacy alone

[@Ayutla-ui4cf]

Another cultural legacy of Garibaldi's is in Mexico City. It's more related to his grandson, there's a plaza named the "Plaza Garibaldi".

[@time_warriors]

"This was a fascinating video! Italian history is always so interesting, and Garibaldi is such a compelling figure. Can't wait to see what comes next in this series. Please make more videos about European history!"

[@EyalBrown]

Oooh, the two upcoming series are things I've of from Overly Sarcastic Productions - I'm excited to see your take on them!

[@mcintoshpc]

Frederick II is going to make for a WILD series. Can’t wait!

[@peterhaag5225]

In college I took a class called age of empires. We roll played leaders of different countries. Two good friends played at sardinia peadmont and two sisilies and just played Garibaldi and Cavour to an absolute tee. I just sat back and enjoyed the rewards of my alliance with them as Greece

Interesting take! It’s always good to question the traditional narratives and explore different perspectives. I'd love to hear more about what you think were the misleading parts.

[@C_Seamus]

There also was a few Garibaldi Brigades in the spanish civil war and WW2era italian resistance fighters.

Enjoyed this series. Good work, Extra History

[@rexlovesminecraft]

This is truly one if my favorite series you have done. Keep up the good work

[@emom358]

I love when you compare the people you featured and the things going on surrounding them. I understand the dates you use but throwing in Lincoln and the Civil War helps cement it for me.

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Always look forward to the líes section! VERY informative😊😊😊😊

[@RonnieFlare17]

Looking forward to the episodes on the Pazzi conspiracy! As a fan of Renaissance politics, the way its was described always grabbed my attention!

Amazing series Guys! VERY GOOD JOB

[@Tulkash01]

About Garibaldi vs Cavour and Victor Emmanuel: the riddle is solved if you check out the correspondence between these people and others. For example, as the Expedition of the Thousand was in full swing, Cavour wrote to his dear friend colonell Cugia:“La spedizione di Garibaldi è un fatto gravissimo. Tuttavia reputo che non si poteva, né si doveva impedire. Essa era apertamente favorita dall’Inghilterra, e mollemente contrastata dalla Francia. Molti dei nostri amici e dei più devoti la secondavano. Dovevo io mettermi in opposizione con questi? Sarebbe stato un errore, che avrebbe credo creato difficoltà grandissime all’ interno”. Which in english sounds like this (translation by me):"Garibaldi's expedition is an extremely serious matter. However i believe it could not and should not have been stopped. It was openly favored by England, and feebly opposed by France. Many of our most loyal friends supported it. Should I've gone against these people? It would have been a mistake that would have caused us enormous internal problems". Basically Cavour didn't like Garibaldi and considered him a rougue element who could unravel his carefully laid plans and diplomatic alliances with his brash actions. Victor Emmanuel OFFICIALLY agreed with Cavour but PRIVATELY he was actually expressing support for Garibaldi, going as far as to tell him to trust no one but him (which included not trusting Cavour...). To confirm this, there are letters in which Victor Emmanuel scolds Garibaldi for his "rash actions", immediately followed by other letters that tell Garibaldi to ignore what was written in the previous supposedly official missive and to continue on. As for the regular italian army being sent to fight Garibaldi, he himself mentioned the fact in an open letter to General Cialdini, quoting what Luigi Carlo Farini told Napoleon III to explain why the army was marching south "They are marching to fight against the revolution personified in Garibaldi". Note that there was a huge dispute between Garibaldi and Cialdini, basically because the regular army had sidelined and even persecuted the redshirts and Garibaldi, who had asked nothing for himself, was in anguish for all the people who had followed him and had suffered what he considered a terrible and unjust betrayal of people who gave their blood for Italy.

[@zachjordan7608]

A mountain near where I live is called "Mt. Garabaldi"

[@mariocasali2817]

Camillo Benso didn't want Garibaldi and the red shirts to go conquer the south and they were ready to take distance from his actions if he was to fail. It is all in the letters exchange between him and the king. He was really important but still not more important than Garibaldi.

[@Tulkash01]

Correct. He was always suspicious of Garibaldi and feared he would proclaim a Republic in the south. He was also very willing to order the regular army to shoot on the redshirts if Garibaldi wasn’t willing to hand over southern Italy.

[@camillebauer8393]

Hey Extra History as a french i want you to do a Napoleon the 3rd series cause i read a biography of him and i discovered he was one of the most underrated guys in History.

There was also a trend for red women's blouses called Garibaldis in the Victorian period.

About the first name. The G in Giuseppe is pronounced with a soft sound. Like the letter G in the word Magic.

[@matthewkane1188]

I remember that same painting and book from AP Europe, I knew more about Garibaldi though ( I thought the chocolate was named for him)

[@franbalcal]

Sounds like Rob has gone to one of those South Korean Colour labs to find out about his pallette and what colours suit him, im guessing he is a "autumn"

[@witchyluck2689]

Garibaldi is the name of a town on the Oregon coast. There's a bay and strong, often dangerous tides at the entrance to the bay. No idea why the town's named that

[@mikeg2306]

When you talk about "redshirts" I can't help thinking about the North Carolina redshirts of the Reconstruction Era (a KKK-type organization) and whether they took the name from the Italians.

[@samuele7098]

I'm no expert, put I think it's more likely that they just had red uniforms: after all Garibaldi's weren't the only troops in history to bear that name or a very similar one (think of the english red coats)

[@SplatterInker]

Though the influence doesn't seem to be direct (there was something about reaponding to a speech?) It's still likely that people adopting the KKK redshirts had knowledge of Garibaldi as a freedom fighter and thought that fit their cause. People do have a wonderful ability to ignore the bits they don't like i.e. Garibaldi being antislavery and on the Unionist side.

[@alarcon99]

4:00 I get Garibaldi’s connection w/ Italy but what’s his connection to Mexico ?

[@ivanpetro8464]

His grandson, also called Giuseppe, fought in Mexican Revolution.

[@fakjbf3129]

I will be very disappointed if in the Pazzi Conspiracy series we don’t get any references to Assassin’s Creed 2.

[@Tulkash01]

17:57 the IDEA of Italy is actually really ancient, dating back to the Romans. The reason why it was unified so late is complex, but a huge part of the reason is that Rome was the seat of the papacy and the papacy liked its temporal power (which was based on a forgery… but I digress) so it was always ready to prevent any city State getting the upper hand.

[@abcdef27669]

There is a book called The Fall of Cadia on the bookshelf behind Rob. Wait a minute... This is a channel about history, so that means... By the Emperor...

[@TheHardCore89]

15:33 that’s actually completely wrong. The rebellion failed because of French intervention EVERY SINGLE TIME. If the pope was gone, they wouldn’t have kept their influence on the Mediterranean. The people of Rome were ABSOLUTELY in favour of the Republic. So much so that the Italian constitution is largely inspired by the Roman Constitution of 1848

Was the breach of Porta Pia really a prolonged campaign or just a token initiative which the papal army wasn't able to even try to start stopping? As for the "war crimes" I suspect you mean what happened in Sicily. If so, yes, they did touch upon it in a previous video.

[@redcrown5070]

There were hardly any war crimes in the italian unification from the italian side. Most were done by the austrian. (Who could have thought eh)

Glad you didn't get that disgusting football shirt. Not many teams play in green, Hibernian or an African national team like Cameroon would be your best choice. We did the Risorgimento at school and our teacher was almost giddy with excitement whenever he spoke about Garibaldi. One other thing about the Pope Pius 9 of this time. He is the longest serving pope, who wasn't opposed to Italian reunification at first but then he had an epileptic fit or something and opposed the cause for nearly 3 decades until French troops had to leave to fight the Prussians.
