Nationalism and the Creation of Italy

Nationalism can be expressed by a majority of things. For instance culture, language and religion are some ways u can express nationalism. In my country we have our own language which is English. We have our history of past wars won,wars lost etc. We have our own land and are independent from any one else. We have our own military and our own weapons and our own set of laws. These are some of the main things that give us the ability to say that we live in a Nationalist Country. Italians earned the ability to say they live in a nationalist country because decade's after decade's they fought for their own independent country. They eventually prevailed and became their own with their own customs, their own currency etc. The Italians fought with there lives at steak and knew that they had their freedom and lives to loose but they still fought because they were tired of being ruled over by the spanish and their ruler, Napoleon.
