jun 24, 1866 - 2nd Battle of Custoza
Description:
- Austrians defeat Italians
- The Italians are humiliated by this as it makes them seem weak even after years of being united
- the outcome of the war does not matter as at the same time:
Napoleon III has signed secret deals with Austria and Prussia so whichever wins France gets Venetia then gives it to Italy
- Napoleon III does this as he sees Italy is getting stronger and wants to gift them Venetia to have them as an ally and in his debt
