Interesting, Italy was also not unified until 1871.

That’s true. I didn’t mention Italy, but it is kind of interesting that both countries became fascist in the 1930s. And you could probably point to the communist governments in China and the Soviet Union as examples of authoritarian responses to unification in the recent past.
