Nationalism and the creation of italy

Nationalism, to take pride of one's residing country or country of birth. Many things are brought about through nationalism; friendships, fights, feuds, and even wars. I personally am a pacifist while still being a nationalist, being that i can still be prideful of my country(Brasil) without taking it to any extreme to anger anybody. From time to time i play soccer with a few friends or wear the Brasilian colors when i go out and lastly i actually have two Brasilian flags in my room.

Italy, like some other countries, had such a respect and pride for it's country and wanted a change for the better. These nationalists wanted a new government; a government for the people. This government wasn't like the one in America or france Italy made something different, a constitutional monarchy. This worked basically as follows: the king had rule but his decisions could be overthrown by the two ministers and the two ministers had a group of citizens who had meetings over political decisions which then informed the ministers of their decision. In a way the people had some power, and they were content with that.
