Nationalism and The Creation Of Italy

Nationalism can be referred to as an idea or sentiment about ones country, it also depends on social movements that go on in the country. In a way, I don't believe I am a nationalist because I haven't done much in anyway to improve or create a system that will benefit my country and all those who inhabit it. One way I could say I am nationalistic is that I have pride in my country and I still believe in the culture and traditions that I have been taught and I will pass this onto my own children, even though I am a US citizen, I still have a different sort of attachment to my own country.

Nationalism helped build Italy by separating Italy into smaller groups, there was many disagreements on how to let Italy stay in power or how to increase Italy's power. Many of the people in Italy wanted to unite the country after many trials of separation but systems were different. After many hardships, Italy was formed once again into a large country.
