history

The papal state was annexed by France from May 17, 1809 to May 24, 1817. It was restored by the final act of the Congress of Vienna in 1815. In 1856 the Austrian legation was upgraded to an embassy. Under the pretext of taking action against the Risorgimento , troops of the Kingdom of Sardinia attacked the Papal States in 1860 and defeated its troops. As a result, the legations of Bologna , Ferrara and Romagna were later annexed to Umbria and Marche by the Kingdom of Sardinia. The Papal States included Velletri , Viterbo , Civitavecchia , Frosinone and Rome when on March 27, 1861, Camillo Benso von Cavour had the parliament of the Kingdom of Italy (1861-1946) declared Rome the capital. Troops of Giuseppe Garibaldi tried to conquer Rome in June 1862 and September 1867, which was defended by a French expeditionary force. In an agreement of September 15, 1864, the Italian state undertook to maintain the independence of the Papal States vis-à-vis the French state. Napoleon III's troops were defeated on September 2, 1870 at the Battle of Sedan when Italian troops occupied Rome on September 20, 1870. Pius IX fled to the palace on the Vatican Hill and protested on September 29, 1870. Victor Emanuel II (Italy) moved from Turin to Rome on July 2, 1871 . The Holy See has been a subject of international law ever since .
