==The qualities displayed in the United States seal are the eagle, representing speed and strength (it being a bird of pray), the cloud with the sun and stars, showing the United States staying strong in hard times and in good times and the pride in our origin, the red, white, and blue represents national pride because it displays the colors of the flag. The phrase describing the thirteen colonies that became one nation, one people. All Americans, from all states are American. Nationalism is displayed in the seal because it shows pride in ones country and pride in its origin, which are important elements to nationalism of any country. To show nationalism, the people must love their country. ==

__**MAP ACTIVITY**__

1. **Analyze**: How would you describe the political geography of Germany and Italy at this time? Germany was divided into states, and Italy was divided into more individual states. Parts of Prussia and Austria were involved in the German confederation. Italy being divided into more states than Germany perhaps could prove to be a challenge for unification because the states probably all had different ideas and principles.

2. **Predict**: Based on the map, what challenges do you Italy would face as it unified? Italy probably had more trouble with getting all the people of all the Italian states to agree and have a united front on anything. Politically speaking, it was probably very difficult to come up with agreement between the Italians, and the states were most likely subject to be taken over by neighboring territories like Austria, that were stronger.

3. **Observe**: Bases on your analysis of the map, how do you think the unification of Italy and Germany impacted nationalistic feelings in Europe? The unification of Italy and Germany probably encouraged other areas to do the same, and nationalistic feelings were spread widely throughout Europe, because they saw the successful unification of Germany and Italy.





__**Reflection Question:Which of the three men had the largest impact on ITalian Unifcation and why?**__

**1. How did nationalism grow in Italy after the Congress of Vienna?**

**2. Identify and explain the social and economic problems faced by the new nation.** Socially, Italy was divided because there weren't all exact ideas between regions and the different states. Though Italy was one nation, its different areas often had contrasting views on issues from one another, such as the fact that Catholicism became an issue. The Catholic church did not accept all of Italy as a nation, because they were not all united **3. Identify and explain some of the reforms institued by the new nation**

**4. How did Italy's foreign policy change after unification?**

__//**Identify and explain the causes of the Italian Unifcation as well as the positive and negative effects of unification**//__

 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">This was drawn by somebody who looks at Bismarck in a bad light, probably thinks he is a forceful dictator trying to forcefully unify German by any means necessary, because "the end justifies the means" so even though he is a practical man and smart and does not favor the revolutions and rebellions, it doesn't mean he is not a nationalist and he will do anything to do what he thinks is right. And what he thinks is right is unifying Germany. **
