Nationalism and the Creation of Italy
Nationalism is not loyalty to the king but to the common history and cultures they share. Its when a group of little regions and states come together to make a government. Bonds that create a nation state are language, nationality, culture, history, and religion. Italy were one of the few to benefit from nationalism. The united from crumbling empires. From 1858 to 1870 many empires joined up with Italy and eventually became the shape of a boot. Before Italy was a country it was only a small mass of land. I show that I'm nationalistic by sharing my cultural food, share my religion, and talk in my language. I would also uphold our flag to show nationalism. Nowadays Italy is one of the main countries that support many other countries. One example is they invented the all popular pizza.
