September 1870 CE

The Lanza-Sella government manages to resolve the Roman question, despite the lack of brilliance and its subservience to France, revealed in its near acquiescence to the king.

Napoleon III's defeat and abdication deprive the pope of French military protection.

Therefore, on September 20, 1870, following a symbolic armed resistance by the papal army, Italian troops open a breach in the city's walls at Porta Pia and enter Rome.

France withdraws from the Papal States and Italy, under Anglo-Prussian puppet Victor Emmanuel II, occupies them, proclaiming Rome the new Italian capital.

The Risorgimento is complete; the Holy Alliance is in shambles.
