Nationilism and The Creation of Italy

Nationalism is the right and happiness in your country. It means that making your country a better place no mater what.also that your country is the best in your eyes and you feel proud of it.Nationalism also means that will show your pride.people do many thing for there country. one of the ways is to going to country events or celebrating like 4Th of July in America.

thanks to nationalism there are nations in the world that are independent. Italy was created by nationalist who had been ruled by foreigners. A Italian person named Giuseppe Mazzini created a group called Young Italy. they wanted to make Italy a free nation and not be ruled by nobles and or kings. he failed thought and sent him into exile with his group. While in exile he went to Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia. This was the biggest and the most powerful state of Italy. Count Camillo di Cavour was put in charge to conquer the other states. He believed that he was doing this for the kingdom, not Italy. Covour united Italy even though that's not what he wanted to do.
 Before a united Italy there was only city-states.
