Austria Cedes Veneto and Mantua to France

October 19th, 1866 158 years ago

Austria's transfer of the Veneto and Mantua regions to France marked a significant territorial reshuffle in Europe. In exchange for these territories, Italy acquiesced to France's previous annexation of Savoy and Nice. This maneuver reflected the complex diplomatic relations in the region and aided Italy's unification efforts as it garnered French support.
