A major contributor to this cause claimed that it was "the secret of providence" whether a certain city would be taken "by arms or diplomacy." This cause was aided by a change in Swiss law that forced mercenaries serving under Francis II to return home. Charles Albert's early efforts for this cause included the Albertine Statute, which became a new constitution. Despite supporting this cause in the Pact of Plombieres, one leader abandoned it in the Treaty of Villafranca. The Battle of Novara was a major setback for this cause. The Expedition of the Thousand conquered territory for this cause using "redshirt" volunteers after military support was refused by the Count of Cavour. For 10 points, a nation ruled by Victor Emmanuel II was established when the fight for what cause ended with the 1870 Capture of Rome? ■END■
