Nationalism in Europe
Nationalism
• The belief that one’s greatest
loyalty is to a shared culture
(including aspects of common
history, language, religion, and
nationality)
• The desire for self-rule
• A goal of nationalist movements
included the unification of
peoples of common culture into
one state.
How would the
idea of
nationalism
clash with
Napoleon’s
European
empire?

Italian Unification
• By 1848, Italy was divided into states.
• Some were independent, while others were
controlled by Austria.
• In the northern part of Italy, King Victor Emmanuel
and Camillo di Cavour planned to unite Italy.
• In the southern part, Giuseppe Garibaldi organized
revolts.
The
Unification
of Italy
King Victor Emmanuel, Prime
Minister Camillo di Cavour, and
Giuseppe Garibaldi
How did Cavour defeat Austria?
How did Garibaldi win
control of southern
Italy?
In the land of Taly Taly,
many people lived under the
control of the Ostrich people.
The people of Taly Taly did not like
being under the control of the Ostrich
people. However, the people of Taly
Taly were divided into different states
in the North and South.
One day, Camigi of the Northern State of
Taly Taly decided to fight the Ostrich
people. In order to get military help,
Camigi joined forces with John Bull and
French Fry in their war against Russia.
French Fry being
grateful, helped
Camigi fight the
Ostrich people, and
Camigi was able to
free the people of the
Northern States.
However, the Southern
States had to use the
help of the Great Gorilla
to overthrow their
governments.
After the Gorilla freed Southern Taly Taly,
he joined together with Camigi in Northern
Taly Taly to form one nation.
The Unification of Germany
Militarily, Prussia was the
strongest of the German states.
Nationalism caused the
leaders of Prussia to want
to unify people of shared
customs and cultures.
Prussia was known
for its militarism.
The King of Prussia was Wilhelm I.
He wanted to unify Germany.
Otto von Bismarck was appointed
the prime minister of Prussia.
Realpolitik- the
politics of
reality
Bismarck used
power to
achieve the
interests of the
state.
Otto von Bismarck believed in
a policy of “blood and iron.”
He used the military to get
what he wanted.
There were three wars
of German
unification.
The first was against
Denmark.
Austria and Prussia formed an
alliance to take land from
Denmark.
Prussia then provoked
Austria into declaring war.
Prussia gained more land in
the Seven Weeks War.
The final war of unification involved
France.
Bismarck made it appear that
Wilhelm I insulted the French
ambassador to Prussia.
This provoked the French to declare
war.
The Franco-Prussian War
The war lasted less
than a year.
Napoleon III was
defeated.
The unification of
Germany was
complete.
After the unification, Wilhelm
was crowned the Kaiser
(emperor).
Germany became one of the
strongest nations of Europe.

the unifications of Italy and Germany.
