In the situation where France and Austria were undermining each other, the Italian Rebels temporarily achieved glorious victories, launching surprise attacks on the French Army one day and ambushing the Austrian army the next, spreading the fame of the Red Shirts Army worldwide.
That was only what the newspapers said; in reality, the Red Shirts Army had been beaten and scattered in all directions. These hastily recruited rabble, with a lack of guns and ammunition, were no match for a regular army.
Being defeated in battle didn't mean they had no achievements. Even without any, there were people who were willing to generously award them anyway!
After the France-Austrian Armies arrived at the frontline, it took less than a week for Naples to be recaptured, and within half a month, all cities on the Italian Peninsula held by the rebels fell, with the main forces nearly annihilated.
