Nationalism and the Creation of Italy

Nationalism is when you have pride in your country/heritage. You know that you are from a curtain heritage is when people have a lot of things in common. One of it could be place of origin and language. These are things that represents culture. Having similar culture is the foundation of being of a nation, a union of people of the same culture. Naturally going to another place where they have different culture like a country like America, a person will lose some or all of the their culture. Mixing a culture is called cultural diffusion. In America people often mix culture or forget one and practice the other.

I am Mexican American. I show I am nationalistic by practicing Mexican culture. But the downside is when being exposed to a different culture then that my parents thought me, it is hard to practice both. So with the cultural diffusion I don't practice as much mexican culture like the holidays

Italy separated from this huge empire called the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The empire fell because the empire could not hold the tension of all the countries wanting to be their own country. So Italy separated itself from the empire. So after becoming a country it developed its own culture and traditions.
