Nationalism and the Creation of Italy

The definition of nationalism is when you are dedicated and absolutely loyal to what you and your country want to do to better it. You also take pride in everything your country does for you. I am nationalistic because I am proud of what country represents and how it represents it. I solute the American flag, I have the language of English, and I have taken part in the American learning system. Before Italy became a country, it was a lot of small countries that bordered each other. Nationalism gave rise to Italy by Revolution, Two leaders got fed up with a ruler not born in Italy. The revolutions ended in disaster because they were unsuccessful. Camillo di Cavour, who owned a good amount of Italy, he decicded to expand and create the nation of Italy.
