Nationalism and the Creation of Italy

Nationalism: is when you protect your country when you have pride for your country and you don't let no one put it down. it also means how u represent your country and to be proud of where your from . An example of how i am nationalistic is that i represent my country where ever i go , make sure people can tell i am Dominican, i let people know where i am from because i am proud of being Dominican.

what i do that show i am nationalistic is the way i speak, i have an accent but i don't let my accent come out on purpose it's just natural. Also by telling people i am Dominican, my attitude, the way i speak Spanish, i have a flag in a window of my room so everyone can see it. And since i was born there my culture just comes out , the way i was raised, how loud i can be and how fast i can speak.


Nationalism was also used to create the nation of Italy. Before a long time ago Italy used to be a part of the Austria-Hungary empire. But when other countries started to declare independence Italy was very influenced by them. So, then Italy wanted their independence they had a war of independence. They're were disorder all over Italy which also triggered many other disorder in Europe. They named their nation and slowly broke apart from the Austria-Hungary empire. Then they made a flag for their nation . So this is how Italy used nationalism to gain independence.
