Treaty of Turin
March 24, 1860
As the price of French help in expelling Austria from Italy, Napoleon III took Nice and Savoy. Garibaldi, born in Nice, never forgave Cavour. The plebiscites were stage-managed. The Italian peninsula was now mostly united, but its most romantic general had lost his hometown to the French in a diplomatic trade.
