Nationalism is when a group of people who share a common culture(language) and history are proud and are willing to sacrifice for their country. I am somewhat nationalistic because I'm proud of the country I'm from, I celebrate American holidays, I follow the American culture, and I recite the pledge of allegiance in school, however I wouldn't join the army.
The Nation Of Italy
Italy was broken up into provinces/small states that were ruled by other foreign countries. The provinces of Venetia and Lombardy were ruled by Austria. The Kingdom of The two Sicilies were ruled by the Spanish. The Italians were growing weary of being ruled by foreign countries so something had to be done. With the help of Camillo di Cavour a Sardinian prime minister who provoked war with Austria and won two victories with the French-Sardinian army gained power over northern Italy. In 1860 a small army of Italian nationalists led by Giuseppe Garibaldi captured Sicily. In an election voters gave Garibaldi the ok to unite the southern areas he conquered with the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia. In 1870 Italian forces took over the last area known as the Papal States and from then on it was part of Italy.
