Question

how did giuseppe garibaldi help shift power in europe?
○ he freed the northern italian kingdoms from austria and united them with the two sicilies.
○ he took control of sicily and helped unite the southern and northern kingdoms of italy.
○ he freed the kingdom of sardinia from france and united it with other italian kingdoms.
○ he took control of several italian kingdoms and put in place a vote for unification in 1861.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Garibaldi didn't free northern kingdoms from Austria (that was more of Cavour's work with Austria, and he didn't unite with Two Sicilies in that way).
• Option 2: Garibaldi led the expedition to Sicily, took control, and his efforts helped in the unification of southern (Two Sicilies) and northern Italian kingdoms.
• Option 3: Sardinia was not freed from France; in fact, Sardinia had an alliance with France against Austria.
• Option 4: There was no vote for unification in 1861 led by Garibaldi in that manner, and the unification process was more complex than just taking control and a vote.

Answer:

B. He took control of Sicily and helped unite the southern and northern kingdoms of Italy.
