Nationalism and the Creation of Italy

Nationalism is a big part of the United States and every other place in the world. Nationalism is technically belonging to, rooting for, and fighting for, your own country. You can also say it is one's love for their country. Some of the things that contribute to nationalism is the people sharing the same language, and having a common culture. Also, things like having common currency and similar religion. Its also the belief that people shouldn't be ruled by a king or an empire nor should they put their trust and loyalty in them. That their trust and loyalty should go to a nation of people that they have things in common like language,beliefs,culture,history and other things like that. One way that i express nationalism is the way i dress. I dress like fellow american children. The food i eat is also an example and how i eat it as in with a certain utensil like a fork.
