During the mid-nineteenth century, Italy was divided into various Kingdoms ruled by different dynasties. Northern Italy was under the control of the Austrian Habsburgs, the Centre was ruled by the Pope, and the South was ruled by the Bourbon Kings of Spain. Only Sardinia-Piedmont was under the rule of an Italian princely household. Due to this, it was very difficult to unify Italy into one nation-state.
