Nationalism and the Creation of Italy

Nationalism- is the belief that one’s greatest loyalty should not be to a king or an empire but to a nation of people who share a common culture and history.

What mostly makes me a nationalist is the fact that I really treasure freedom and I never take it for granted. I also am a citizen of The United States and I support my country in any decisions that the people make for it. I respect the way people use their freedom here to help make the economy better, but mostly those people because some take their freedom for granted and decide to do what’s mostly best for them and their desires. What also makes me a nationalist is I respect this country but I respect my own country, where I was born, and the people I care about where their family living.

While Nationalism was destroying empires, it was result in new nations. Italy was one of those new nations that form from the territory of crumbling empires. After the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Austria ruled the Italian provinces of Venetia and Lombardy in the north, and several small states.
