Nationalism and the Creation of Italy

Nationalism is loving the country you reside in and it is the bond between you and other people in that country. An example of how I am nationalistic is through a common language which is English with the same accent they use in America. The thing I do that shows that I am nationalistic is using the same currency which is the United States Dollar. Italy was a nation that formed due to Nationalism in Europe. Italy before was part of the Austria-Hungarian Empire. They were part of a empire which had several different countries within it. People living in Italy gathered and wanted to break free from forein rule. Guiseppe Mazzini was one of the first leaders who unified parts of Italy and created it Young Italy. Then the Kingdom of Sardinia was formed and united italy again but it was larger. They declared war with Austria and got most of northern Italy. Then a soldier named Guiseppe Garibaldi had a army and claimed Sicily. He then let Sardinia rule and they claimed the rest of Northern Italy from Austria and that was how the nation of Italy was formed.
