Italian Africa
Italian Africa appears on the map from 1890 to 1943. At its greatest recorded extent, in 1940, it covered about 3.51 million km².
One of the realms of Kingdom of Italy and Italian Republic. For centuries Italy was divided among rival states and foreign powers. In the Risorgimento, or resurgence, the Kingdom of Sardinia, ruled by the House of Savoy from Turin, led unification: its prime minister Cavour allied with France against Austria in 1859, Garibaldi's volunteers conquered the south in 1860, and Victor Emmanuel II was proclaimed King of Italy in 1861.
