Nationalism and The Creation of Italy

Nationalism is the belief that a person who shares your history and share your opinons should stand together and protect your belief at all costs. I am natioalistic because I live in America. I listen to the pledge of alligance everyday and use money that we all use. Before Italty was Italy, it was part of an empire called The Austrian empire and part of italy was also controlled by The Spanish Bourbon Family Empire. Itlay came to be joined by an Italian named Camillo di Cavour. He concluded that for him the only way to win was to get the help from the French emperor Napoleon the third. After they got back Northern Italy, Cazour got the help from the Sardinia and France to get everything alse from the two empires.

Simon Bolivar and Latin Americans Revolutions

He is famous for the battles that he fought in South America that also came to be known as Bolivar's War. Bolivar fought for the freedom in South America for countries such as Venezula, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Panama and Bolivia. His tactics used in battle using guerilla warfare would be brutal but effective. The reason there is a country is named after him is because that country was grateful for him to free them. His conquest to free the countries was a hard due to the country that had taken over South America who was: Spain. He followed Napoleon where he went.
