More than two hundred years ago, the Apennine peninsula became embroiled in what became the first true attempt at Italian independence in history – the Neapolitan War. The conflict pitted the combined forces of Austria, Tuscany, Modena, Sicily, and Great Britain against the lone Kingdom of Naples, which itself remained the last bastion of Bonapartist power in Italy. In a desperate bid to maintain his throne in the face of foreign aggression, the flamboyant Neapolitan king Joachim Murat launched a daring campaign that would shake Italian society to the very core and set the stage for the famed events of the Risorgimento.
Yet to fully comprehend the motives and origins of the Austro-Neapolitan conflict, one must first understand the Kingdom of Naples: its history, its social and political influence, and its key figures. Founded in 1806 out of the wreckage of the Bourbon Kingdom of Naples, it was initially ruled by Napoleon Bonaparte’s older brother Joseph. His brief but effective reign would bring Napoleonic customs to Southern Italy and set the groundwork for a truly self-sufficient state.
