Nationalism and the Creation of Italy

I think that nationalism is the way a country is different from all the rest of the countries. Like what makes the country different and special. I know I'm nationalistic because every year i celebrate fourth of July with my family and friends. Fourth of July is known as a American holiday because on July 4,1776, we won our independence.

Nationalism was also used to create the nation of Italy. Before a long time ago Italy used to be a part of the Austria-Hungary empire. Sooner than later Italy started getting influenced by other countries getting independence. So one day, they thought maybe they should get independence also, so they went to war.. They're were riots all over Italy which also made many other riots in Europe. They named their nation and broke away from the Austria empire. Then they made a flag for their nation was not part of any other nation or empire.

Simon Bolivar and Latin American Revolutions

Simon Bolivar is mostly known for having a a country named after him, Bolivia. Him and his army took over most of South America, except Brazil, he defeat the Spaniards to win the countries. Napoleon Bonaparte was his brother, basically he probably felt as if he needed to be better than his own blood. He was a hero because he thought all people were suppose to be equal and free. The main reason he wanted his quest for revolution was that he thought some people in South America shouldn't be treated in a foul way by the Spaniards. The people in Latin America were inspired from The Enlightenment, they wanted their own liberty and they wanted their own freedom. In Europe Napoleon controlled Spain and entered his brother as king of Spain. The people in Latin America were suppose to respect the king, but how could they if he wasn't even Spanish. Later on Simon Bolivar got a illness and stayed home for a couple days. Days past by and he died. Everyone thought that they should respect him in some way. So they got his last name and named a country after him, the country now known as "Bolivia".

John Locke

The Declaration Of Independence that Thomas Jefferson wrote explains the rights people have. Most of them fall into the rights of, Liberty, Life, and the Pursuit Of Happiness. He also explains how all people should be treated equally. And have the freedom for people to do whatever they want and no one can judge upon them. Thomas Jefferson wrote most of it because back then he was considered a smart guy, let alone with some signatures too. At this point everyone hated the King of Great Britain, for asking Americans for taxes in a high rate that barely no one could afford back then. One important part of the "Essay" is that it states, anyone can be President, your family doesn't have to be from a history of democracy.
