Nationalism and the Creation of Italy

Nationalism is the belief that ones greatest loyalty should not be loyal to a king or empire, but to a nation of people who shares a common culture and history. Italy was created because nationalism was destroying other empires and at the same time, nationalism was creating new countries. Italy was being reborn. When Italy was being created by nationalism, Italy used to be a poor country that the kingdom of sardinia was controlling italy.

There was a small army called the "Red Shirts" that took control of the cities like Venice. A man named Guiseppe Garibaldi was leading them with the help of Camillo di Cavour to add them to italy which waqs taking over by the Sardinia people. The only bad news was that there was alot of unsolved problems that Italy was facing during the war they were having.

With Rome in the kingdom of italy, the country was complete but then Italy started having economic problems that the government could not deal with anymore. As a result, Italy entered the 20th century as a poor country. Too many riots happen and the were very disorganized.

Simon Bolivar

Simon Bolivar was one of the greatest person who ever lived to help South America. He has had alot of victories over the spaniards to gain independence for Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, etc. He was also called El Libeerator. As he grew up, He married a woman named Maria Teresa who then later died of yellow fever. He vowed to never marry again. Later on, he made a famous vow on top of Mount Aventin of Rome that he will not rest until his country and South America was free and in independence. He wanted to become a great liberator. In 1810, he made his first independence in Venezuela with a help of a man called Francisco de Miranda to revolt against the spanish. Boilvar and Francisco occupied Caracas

Bolivar had days when he was forced to retreat to some other countries because of the Spaniards and sometimes he occupied alot of countries like Grand Colombia, Ecuador, etc. During his journey, he has made alot of friends who he helped them get their independence. The last stronghold that Bolivar had to capture with his helper, sucre, was in Peru, as well as the new country of Bolivia. The people named a country at his name in South America because Bolivar had won all of the independence for all of the country's in South America, so they decided to add a new country at his name.
