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.
