Nationalism

Nationalism was a strong feeling of pride in and devotion to one's country. Nationalism gave people from the same place a feeling of identity and the goal of making their own homeland. Nationalism emerged in France in the late 1700's. The impact Nationalism had on Europe was war. It made people want their own nation were they spoke their own language. It made them feel manipulated. It is what caused Europe unbalanced the balance of powers and later on, World War 1. It caused the war because every ethnicity wanted their own country ruled by them and not people from a different ethnicity.



I believe that my group did a good job of letting our audience know what we were trying to tell them that the emperor did not want his son to have any changes done to the empire. My group focused on how nationalist ideas were changing the way people wanted things. Also, on getting the class to know that everyone wanted change except for the emperor. We were able to be clear on the characters. They were not confusng and they did not have to guess who was who. We did not focus to much on the part about dual monarchy.



Nationalism in our section was differnent from the one of how nationalism impacted Italy. For Italy, nationalism was good and did not cause war, instead it caused unification. Before nationalism came in, Italy was a place were very often there were wars. After they were united they went through a time of turmoil. The turmoil was mostly caused by anarchists, who were people who wanted to abolish the government. After their hard times, Italy began to progress in its economy. Many jobs arose for pesants so they began to move into the city. This caused a population explosion, which then caused emigration.



I think nationalism is a good thing because I think that every ethnicity should have a person in charge that is of the same ethnicity. I also think it is good because if everyone knows the same language and has the same kind of beliefs, then it does make a strong unification. I think it might be reinvented to be more useful for global societies by making the different parts of the world like Afghanistan and other places that need help. It could also be useful for being friends with the whole world instead of everyone fighting and bieng unhappy with each other.

Giuseppe Mazzini, big time nationalist.
