On 3 January 1799, during the [[French Revolutionary Wars]], this community was successfully attacked by a French-controlled 1798–1799 [[Roman Republic (18th century)|Roman Republic]] Army led by Governor MacDonald.
 
The [[Battle of Volturnus (1860)]], at the conclusion of [[Garibaldi]]'s [[Expedition of the Thousand]], partially took place in and around Capua. Prior to the battle, the Neapolitan army, defeated in earlier engagements, was rebuilt in Capua under marshal [[Giosuè Ritucci]]. After fighting elsewhere in which the Neapolitans were ultimately defeated, the last of them—around 3,000 troops under Colonel Perrone—were holed up in Capua. The city was attacked by the Garibaldines and one Piedmontese regular Bersaglieri battalion, and captured. In the referendum several months later, its inhabitants voted overwhelmingly to join the new [[Kingdom of Italy]].
