Nationalism and the Creation of Italy

Nationalism is beautiful it shows the respect and honor you give for your country. Nationalism is when you give lots of pride to a country and are able to sacrifice for it. It can be your birth country or the country of your parents if they migrated from somewhere else or a country that you just simply love. I myself am nationalistic but not for this country. Yes I am proud to be an American but not to the point i will sacrifice for it. I am very nationalistic to my mothers native country my background country EL Salvador. To show that I am proud I go to the Salvadorean Independence parade, I also have a wrist band, the flag as my key chain, shirt saying i love El Salvador, a hat and last a flag in my bedroom. Some people say I may be too proud but "hey" that's were my family comes from.
Italy is a beautiful country full of touristic places that will amaze you it became a country because of people who are nationalistic. Nationalism destroyed empires in Europe causing people to be more proud of their land and wanting it to be free. These empires started to break down into countries. One of those countries was Italy. Italy was divided into diverse kingdoms and each of them had their own states. The north was ruled by Austria and the south was the kingdom of two Sicily's.
Nationalist leaders were send to exile including Mazzini. He was a nationalist leader who made people rebel in certain states and he also started a club called "young Italy". Camillo di Cavour was a leader who almost led Italy to unification. He smartly chose the right people who to be alliance with and achieved expansion. Camillo di Cavour wanted to get the north but Austria was a problem so with the help of France he was able to kick them out. He then conquered north Italy. He then wanted to get control of the south so he made the southern states rebel. A small Italian army went to the south and captured Sicily led by a romantic soldier called Giuseppe Garibaldi. The south and the north were now united. In 1866, the Austrian province of Venetia, which included the city of Venice, became part of Italy. In 1870, the Italians took over the Papal States. Rome soon then became part of Italy and the capital. This was the new Italy all united and strong and a beautiful nation.
