Nationalism

RECAP


Nationalism is people being faithful to where they live. It is being patriotic. nationalism gives people the feeling they have the power but most of the time that isn't true. Rulers usually used nationalism to get the people to follow them and changed once he had the people on his side. Nationalism had its rise in Germany. Then nationalism united more than germany but germany was the first. All the German states are now united and make up Germany.

REVIEW


Our group had to talk about how Italy was unified. We summed it up and pulled out the major points really well, We pulled out the important people like Victor who was the king. My groups had costumes that really helped with knowing who the person was and we made extra people to make the puppet show work better.

Unifying Italy compared to unifying Germany I think was essayer. Unifying Italy was economically smarter. Italy wanted nationalism and it worked for them because it made trade easier which helped with money. When Germany was being unified the Germans thought that they were doing it for themselves and for there country but Bismarck had his own reasons for uniting Germany. He was tricking the people.



REFLECT AND REINVENT

Nationalism is a good ideology. It gets a the country or group to unite for the rights and things they all want. The whole country goes threw the same things with hunger or poverty or government and most of the time religion. If there was a common goal for everyone like there is in a country than it would help unite if we all had the same needs. But I dint think that will happen because not all countries are equal in wealth or advancements and some countries still have problems getting there basic needs. If countries helped each other catch up to the standard and all had there basic needs meet I think than nationalism would be more useful.
