Nationalism and the Creation of Italy

Nationalism is the pride for ones country. It is when people are good followers and supporters for their country. It is also when you love your country and you would die for it. This happeneed very recenly. A few hundred years ago there was none of that. Noboby would die for their kingdom. The king hired mercanaries to fight the wars for them, there was no volunteer army.

I do many things to show that i am nationalistic for both Greece and America. To show that i am nationalistic for Greece is i wear a lot of shirts with the Greek flag about it, i studied all of their history, mytholigy, and eveything about it. I go there every other summer, and stay there for two months. Other things i do is when people ask me where i am from i say Greece and im really proud of it. I go to the Greek Indpendece Day Parade and i wear my greek shirt with a huge Greek flag around my body with y face painted blue and white, and Blue is also my favorite color. I am nationalistic to America because i celebrate the 4th of July by doing fireworks, and i also root for America in the World Baseball Classic.

Nationalism was used to create Italy because all of the people that lived there talked and followed the Italian cultrues and they called themselves Italian. They also had really pride for the land they lived in and wanted to be Independant. Before Italy became Italy it was a really messed up Kingdom. It was ruled by two Kings and they both had two different views on how to rule a Nation. It became Italy by forming a group called the Young Italy. They then went into battle and captured Italy. They then became a real nation.

Simon Bolivar and Latin American Revolutions

Simon Bolivar is one of the greatest general in world history.He accomplished a great amount of achiements in a short period of time. The whole contient of South America was captured by Spanish rule and Simon Bolivar didn't like that. He went to Europe and studied work of Locke, Rousseau, and Voltaire. On his way back fom studying in Europe he went by the United States and learned even more about democracy. He took action into his own hand in South America. He took over Venuzeula in 1811. He then took over many other countries and then named it Republic of Columbia.

He is a hero in South America. People see him as a hero because if it wasnt for him then there wouldnt be no free south american countries. They would all be conquered by Spain. They were all very unhappy being ruled by Spain and Bolivar was the first to take action. They honored him so much they even named a country from him. He fought for freedom, and democracy. He fought against the spanish. He will always be a hero in South America, for freeing the people.
