Nationalism and the Creation of Italy

Nationalism is belonging to, rooting for and fighting for your own country. I am nationalistic by supporting our soldiers to win wars (like Iraq) . Supporting our soldiers shows that you care for this country. People die to defend us and our flag. You couldnt be any more nationalistic about that. One thing that I do to show that I am Nationalistic is that when I am older I would vote for a President that really cares about us Americans. I believe that is the main thing that shows you can actually do something to be nationalistic. Most people who were nationalists back then were loyal to their people, not mainly to their king. Italy was formed from the territory of crumpled Empires. For example like Austria, and Russia and other countries. As soon as Italy was "formed" people made a small national group. No one over the age of 40 was allowed to join it. People in Italy were still under the control of Austria. they ruled all of the Italian Provinces. Camillo di Cavour united with france to get rid of the Austrians in the northern Italian provinces. They won two great quick victories and soon he kept his eye on the south. Now a new leader named Giuseppe Garibaldi controlled the south. all three leaders met and Garibaldi agreed that the Sardinian king should rule.
