The <a href="/wiki/French_Revolution" title="French Revolution">French Revolution</a> began in 1789 and immediately found supporters among the Italian people. The local Italian rulers, sensing danger in their own country, drew closer to the European kings who opposed France. After the French king was overthrown and France became a republic, secret clubs favouring an Italian republic were formed throughout Italy. </p><p>The armies of the French Republic began to move across Europe. In 1796, <a href="/wiki/Napoleon_Bonaparte" class="mw-redirect" title="Napoleon Bonaparte">Napoleon Bonaparte</a> led a French army into northern Italy and drove out the Austrian rulers. Once again, Italy was the scene of battle between the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Habsburg" title="House of Habsburg">Habsburgs</a> and the French. Wherever France conquered, Italian republics were set up, with constitutions and legal reforms. Napoleon made himself emperor in 1804, and part of northern and central Italy was unified under the name of the Kingdom of Italy, with Napoleon as king. The rest of northern and central Italy was annexed by France. Only Sicily, where <a href="/wiki/Ferdinand_I_of_the_Two_Sicilies" title="Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies">the Bourbon king</a> had taken refuge upon the French invasion of Naples, and the island of Sardinia, which had been ceded to the Alpine <a href="/wiki/House_of_Savoy" title="House of Savoy">House of Savoy</a> in 1720 and had remained under their rule ever since, were not under French control. </p><p>French domination lasted less than 20 years, and it differed from previous foreign control of the Italian peninsula. In spite of heavy taxation and frequent harshness, the French introduced representative assemblies and new laws that were the same for all parts of the country. For the first time since the days of ancient Rome, Italians of different regions used the same money and served in the same army. Many Italians began to see the possibility of a united Italy free of foreign control. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Flags_of_Napoleonic_Italy" title="Flags of Napoleonic Italy">During the Napoleonic era</a>,
