37 - Piedmont Seizes the Initiative
Talking History: The Italian Unification - A podcast by Benjamin & Adam Ashwell
In this episode we'll meet Piedmont's new king, and see Piedmont try to regain its footing as it deals with its first constitutional crisis, triggered by its peace treaty with Austria. Against the backdrop of these events, Cavour, the late-bloomer of our Big Three, will rapidly become the dominant figure in Piedmontese politics.
