Napoleon III's support for the Italian patriots…

1861 CE

Napoleon III's support for the Italian patriots and his confrontation with Pope Pius IX over who will govern Rome has made him unpopular with fervent French Catholics, and even with Empress Eugénie, who is a fervent Catholic.

To win over the French Catholics and his wife, he has agreed to guarantee that Rome will remain under the Pope and independent from the rest of Italy, and has agreed to keep French troops there.
