How did the creation of a single state affect the economy and foreign policy of Italy?

In Italy, from the moment of unification, capitalist relations began to develop at an accelerated pace. A national market is being created, and large-scale industry begins to develop. This process was hampered by the fact that the North was industrial, the South was agricultural. This led to increased migration.

The foreign policy was quite aggressive. The country went to war with France to reclaim territory in Africa. This undermined its economic position, which caused discontent among the broad masses of the population.
