Nationalism and The Creation of Italy

Nationalism is when people take pride in their country or nationality. Nationalism is everywhere and are expressed in different ways. What makes a nationalism is the people all speak a common language, similar culture, food, same currency and etc. I am nationalistic by speaking the common language which is English. You can also tell when someone is supporting their nation by how they dress. The food I eat can show my nationalistic.

Italy was created when nationalism destroyed the empires. Italy was then ruled by Austria. In 1832 a 26 yr kid called Guiesseppe Mazzini made a group called the young Italy. The group didnt allow people older than 40. Guisseppe tought that it was best for Italy to have a democracy and peace. The attack failed and Austria was still under control of Italy. In 1858 Napoleon decided to help drive Austria back and that was very successful. Italy then became a democracy nation.
