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.
