Nationalism is basiclly a love for your nation. Nationalism is basiclly being loyal to a country and being united because of that. I am nationalistic by speaking the language of America, English, and by usin the American currency, "dollars. Before the idea of Nationalism, most countries, such as Italy were ruled by whatever kingdom took over, so there was no real sense of unity between the people or countries. Even if they spoke a different language or had different customs, the territories were bound together under one king or ruler. After the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Austria ruled the Italian provinces of Venetia and Lombardy in the north. In the south, the Spanish Bourbon family ruled the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, and because of nationalism, Italy became Italy! It's own country!
