Nationalism and the Creation of Italy

Nationalism is devotion and loyalty to ones nation.Also shows loves its nation and can do anything for its country.Just like George Washington and what he did for our country.I am nationalistic of two nations, India, and United States Of America.I celebrate 4 of july, and also 14 August which is Indian independence day.I go to parades for both countries.I say the Pledge Of Aliigence at school, and i also have a Indian flag in my room hanging on the wall.

Italy was a part of Austria-Hungary empire, and it was being ruled by them.When other countries in Europe started to declare war for independence, Italy was influenced by them and decided to do the samething to gain independence. They had riots all over Italy and it triggered many other riots.They soon created their own nation and named it Italy, and created their own government, rules, and flag. As you can see Italy used Nationalism to gain independence.

Before Napolean came into power and took over the governmaent there were no definate borderss, but there were only small kingdoms who were ruled by kings. The people of the kingdoms were devoted and loyal to their kings, and nobles, because there was no such thing as countries. So thanks to Napolean who created definate borders of European countries, and afterwards countries started to follow the same idea.

Before Italy became Italy, Italy was part of the Austria-Hungary empire.It was a city-state.It became Italy because the people were heavily impact with the nationalism. They saw what was going around them and decided to do the same thing to gain independece from Austria-Hungary empire.
