French-Sardininian war against the Austrians (second War of Italian Independence) in Lombardy, northern Italy. The narrow french victory (under Napolean III) over the Austrians was an important step toward Italian independence, leading many districts and cities to throw off Austrian rule and join the cause of Italian unity.
