"The term nationalism refers to an ideology based on the notion that people who have a sense of homogeneity rooted in a conception of a shared history and a common ethnicity‚ cultural heritage‚ language‚ or religion should be united in a single nation-state free of "alien" political‚ economic‚ or cultural influence or domination." (Putins Peter‚ Rita) Nationalism has brought together many countries throughout its existence. For instance‚ Germany‚ Italy and France were all unified due to this powerful

Italy and Germany were two newly united nations that emerged in 1871. The two regions that were to be unified shared much history together; ever since they were last united as one under the Holy Roman Empire. When the French Revolution and Napoleon came along‚ both Germanic and Italian states were affected in many ways. Napoleon began spreading his liberalist and nationalist influence in Italy with his Italian Campaign in 1796‚ which later spread to the Germanic states. After Napoleon¡¯s defeat‚

Nationalism holds that where a nation exists‚ it should govern itself. The forces of nationalism influenced central Europe from Italy to the land of the Austrian Habsburgs. After 1815‚ the region knew the positive effects of a different style of governing and was divided into a much more rational set of political units. There was an effort by both states to unite its segmented lands‚ so that they could have a more international standpoint. By 1870‚ both Italy and the Austrian Empire had been re-established

Unification of Italy and Germany By 1871 both the kingdom of Italy and the empire of Germany were united. Even though both countries used popular trends to that time‚ both liberalism and nationalism‚ the process unifying these two countries was very different. The end result was Germany emerging as a strong nation and Italy appropriately‚ the weaker. Italy’s problems started with the fact that it didn’t have one main ruler‚ but two people and a concept‚ resulting in a different approach to

By 1871‚ the separate states of Italy had finally become a unified country. Nationalism played a ver large part in this unification process. If it hadn’t been for the people of this region having a strong sense of pride for their country‚ Italy would still be split up into many nations as it was in the early 1800’s. There were certain people who helped move this process along tremendously‚ including Cavour‚ Mazzini and Garibaldi. All these great men helped form new movements or ideas. Then in the

Fascism in Germany and Italy Many similarities exist between German fascism‚ or Nazism‚ and Italian fascism. For example‚ both fascist movements were brought into power after facing very similar problems. One of the major problems that both countries encountered was a post-war economy teeming with instability. Germany’s fragile economy was undermined by widespread unemployment‚ hyperinflation‚ and burdensome reparation payments‚ while Italy’s economy was just as delicate. In addition‚ the Great

Gregory May 16TH 2012 Nationalism Nationalism Nationalism is a word described as having intense feelings of patriotism‚ principals‚ and efforts. This word is an incredible idea that members of a nation can have a mutual bond by sharing similar ethnicity‚ culture‚ ideas‚ and language. Three songs‚ all written in the 1800s‚ are perfect examples of how nations come together. The two songs “The Rhine Watch” and “The German Fatherland” both express German nationalism.

Germany’s apparent political and military ally in Europe was Italy. Since 1925‚ Italian had been controlled by an autocrat leadership under Benito Mussolini. Italian fascism was very much the older brother of Nazism‚ a fact Hitler himself admitted. All of their intellectual resemblance‚ the connection between Hitler and Mussolini was rough and complex. The adjustment of their two countries was accordingly not as firm as many expected. Germany and Italy had become military allies by late 1930s‚ however their
