Nationalism/ italy

Nationalism is the belief that one's greatest loyalty should not be to king or an empire but to a nation of people who share a common culture. I considered myself nationalism because i live in the same borders as other people, speack english as the rest, we all have a common culture, i know about history, we all pay taxes to the government, and also we get along with each other. By this I mean, we can consider ourself as part of this nation. NAtionalism was used to create Italy. in 1858 -1870 many empires join with Italy and tehn ended up to start or vecome the shape of boot. Italy was ajust a a small land before it beame into what is known today Italy. Before they were city state. Before it became into a country it was ruled by Austria-hungary empire. In order to get there freedom they fought and the italian won.
