Text Appearing Before Image:
two emperors who had decided at Villafranca thatthose rulers should be restored. In this they were sup-ported diplomatically by the English Government. Thiswas Englands great service to the Italians. Thepeople of the duchies have as much right to change theirsovereigns, said Lord Palmerston, as the Englishpeople, or the French, or the Belgian, or the Swedish.The annexation of the duchies to Piedmont will be anunfathomable good to Italy. The people of these statesvoted almost unanimously in favor of annexation (March11-12, i860). Victor Emmanuel, King of Piedmont,accepted the sovereignty thus offered him, and on April2, i860, the first parliament of the enlarged kingdommet in Turin. A small state of less than 5,000,000 hadgrown to one of 11,000,000 within a year. This wasthe most important change in the political system ofEurope since 1815. Napoleon III acquiesced in all this, taking for himselfSavoy and Nice in return for services rendered. ThePeace of Villafranca was never enforced.
