  [122] After the failure of the first war of independence in 1849, Garibaldi and Mazzini had a falling out. This led him to make connections to other powers, including the Genoese military committee that helped him finance the expedition. He even had some exploratory contact with Cavour, to see if it might be worth compromising on his republican ideals, in the name of Italian unity. Smith, Cavour and Garibaldi 1860 , 17.
