Nationalism is when people have the freedom to stand up for what they believe in without the authority of Kings and Queens. In other words, nationalism is when people have their own culture and history and no government can prevent that culture/history to be vanished. When someone says how an I nationalistic, that means that I have a certain something that symbolizes my history/culture of my family's ancestors along with the territory that I live in. I talk to my friends and other people in one language, and I talk to my family in another language which shows how nationalistic am I.
The whole meaning of nationalism is what influenced the creation of Italy. It gave Italian people the idea of freedom in which their foreign rulers will never give them. Before Italy was created, it was made by kingdoms and small islands. Each piece of Italy was precisely rulers by foreign countries in Europe . Apparently Italians hated the part that their land was controlled by many foreign rulers from foreign countries. They wanted one country in which will have liberty of their own culture unlike the culture's of other countries in Europe. With this in mind two leaders came to unify Italy. these people were Giuseppe Mazzini which liberated land from all the foreign rulers and Camillo di Cavour which united the liberated land into one country named Italy.
