History of the Savoie :

Savoy was reunited with Italy under the Treaty of Turin in 1860.

From August 1859 to January 1860, Savoy was uncertain about its future. On February 26, 1860, the French government ruled out the idea of an independent Savoy.

It will therefore be attached to France:

The preliminary agreement recognizing the cession of Savoy and Nice to France is signed in Turin. 12 March 1860. The principle of a referendum was adopted.

Consequently, the duchy’s divisional councils met and decided to send a delegation of 41 Savoisians in favor of annexation on March 21, 1860.

The Treaty of Annexation, known as the Treaty of Turin, was signed and published on March 24, 1860.

1. The first three articles set out the conditions for this annexation:
   1. First of all, there is no reference to “annexation” but to “reunion”. Hence the call for Savoyard assent and the organization of a referendum.
   2. The neutralized zone of northern Savoy, guaranteed by the 1860 Treaty of Turin, was maintained.
   3. Finally, the borders of the two states are determined by a joint commission, taking into account the configuration of the mountains and the need for defence.
