Episode 2 of 2
Fall of the d'Azeglio Cabinet
- When
- November 1852
- Where
- Kingdom of Sardinia
Cavour formed a coalition with Urbano Rattazzi, known as the Connubio, which united moderate factions and caused the fall of the d'Azeglio cabinet in November 1852.
The Connubio, or 'marriage', brought together moderate men from the Right and Left. This political maneuvering was instrumental in destabilizing the existing government. The resulting collapse of the d'Azeglio cabinet in November 1852 created the opportunity for Cavour to assume leadership.
