What do you see in common and different in the processes of reunification of the Italian and German lands?

The lands of Italy were mostly dependent and were divided. Through uprisings and wars of liberation, the Italians eventually managed to finally unite and create an independent state. Germany was not dependent, although it was divided. Prussia was the key German state at that time. It was she who became the flagship that was able to unite all the German lands. It is also worth noting that part of the German territories were recaptured in the wars against Austria-Hungary and France.
