Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
Both Germany and Italy were fragmented to separate kingdoms in the nineteenth century. Italians were dispersed over several dynastic realms and the multicultural Habsburg Empire. Thus Italy was divided into seven states by the middle of the nineteenth century. But only one of them, Sardinia-Piedmont, was controlled by an Italian princely house. The Austrian Habsburgs dominated the north, the Pope dominated the centre, and the Spanish Bourbons kings ruled the southern provinces. Even the Italian language had various regional and local variations and had not yet developed a single standard form.
The correct statement would be Italy had a long history of political fragmentation, just like Germany.
