battle of solferino 1859 napoleon iii and the fate of italy documentary

🚩 By 1859 the decades-long struggle to free Italy from being dominated by the mighty Austrian Empire seemed far from success. But a new secret alliance between two nations - the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia and the Second French Empire - gave renewed hope to the effort. These three powers are about to embark on a monumental campaign that will culminate in one of the bloodiest battles of its time. At stake is the fate of Italy. 🚩 This video was produced in collaboration with PMF Productions.
