Cavour's Government Policies

Cavour's government policies focused on modernizing Italy through economic development, strengthening the military, and unifying the various Italian states. He promoted infrastructure projects like railways, supported industrial growth, and encouraged diplomacy to reduce foreign influence. Cavour aimed to create a stronger, united Italy by forming strategic alliances, particularly with France, and leveraging political circumstances to bring different regions together under a central government. His policies laid the groundwork for Italy's unification in 1861 by balancing modernization with diplomatic efforts to achieve national unity.
