Armistice of Cormons
The Armistice of Cormòns was signed in Cormons on 12 August 1866, between the Kingdom of Italy (represented by General Count Agostino Petitti Bagliani di Roreto) and the Austrian Empire (represented by General Baron Karl Möring) and was a prelude to the Treaty of Vienna, which ended the Third Italian War of Independence.
On 21 July 1866 the victorious
Alfonso La Marmora was contemporary blocking some Austrian forces in the Quadrilatero fortresses.[2]
After the armistice of Nikolsburg, the Italian General Staff ordered to withdraw from Trentino (which was too tied to the Habsburg Empire to be claimed).[3] Garibaldi replied by telegraph with a sentence that became famous: Obbedisco ("I obey").
Soon after Prussia and Austria signed the
Sardinia-Piedmont by the Treaty of Zürich
in 1859.
