The map shows the unification of Italy in 1861.

Question

A map of Italy in 1861. An area labeled Italy is composed of mainland and two islands. An area labeled Papal States is near the center of the mainland of Italy. An area labeled Venetia is in northern Italy. An area labeled Tyrol is north of Italy and Venetia. An area labeled Istria is Northeast of Italy.

What does the map show about the unification of Italy in 1861?

Several areas in the south did not become part of the unified nation.
Italy became two unified nations, one in the south and one in the north.
The Papal States alone did not become part of the new nation.
The new nation included much of mainland Italy and several islands.

Answer 1

The map shows that the unification of Italy in 1861 resulted in the formation of a new nation that included much of mainland Italy and several islands, while other areas, such as the Papal States, remained separate. Therefore, the most accurate statement based on the map is:

"The new nation included much of mainland Italy and several islands."

This reflects the geographical status of Italy post-unification in 1861 while acknowledging that not all regions were incorporated into the unified nation.
