Which was an important event in Italy's path to unification? A. King Victor Emmanuel appointed Count di Cavour prime minister of
the Kingdom of Sardinia. B. Count di Cavour made a secret treaty with Otto von Bismarck to obtain weapons. C. Napoleon and his army established a revolutionary government in Rome. D. Lord Byron led a successful revolt that drove Austrian forces out of northern Italy.
Knowing absolutely nothing about any of these events- obviously, "C". Is the only event necessarily capable of unifying a country.
<span>Nothing can possibly unite a country like overthrowing and kicking out foreign rulers! </span>
<span>A- No appointed ruler can satisfy all factions. </span>
<span>B- As above, so below. </span>
<span>D- Beside the fact that one guy arming himself is not going to make everybody happy, that he had to do it secretly implies that he must not have had all the country behind him. </span>
An oligarchy describes C. "rule by a small group". The size of this group can vary greatly but it relative to the size of the population its controlling and usually results and unfair governance.
