Nationalism and the Creation of Italy

Nationalism is the love for your country and people from it because of similar life styles. I am nationalistic because during the olympics and othere such sporting events I always root for the US team.Also i take part in american holidays such as thanksgiving and the fourth of july. Becase of those reasons i am nationalistic.
Nationalism became a nation state because they were tired of being controlled by the very culturaly different austrians. They wanted to become united under there common culture. Camillo di Cavour was a Sardinian king that the Italians asked to help them claim there northern land. Garibaldi was a man who united southern italy. After he was done he humbly let the king of Sardina rule Italy.
