Nationalism Triumphs in Europe Unifying Italy
Warm Up • What is Nationalism? • Give me an example of how Nationalism helped unify Italy and Germany.
Warm Up • Make a question up that you would put on the test on Friday 12/14.
Objectives • After the lesson, students will be able to • Describe how nationalism contributed to the decline of the Hapsburg Empire • List the main characteristics of the Dual Monarchy • Understand how the growth of nationalism affected the Ottoman Empire
Today’s Goals • Notes on Challenges Facing the New Nation of Italy • Read how Nationalism threatens an old Empire
Challenges Facing the New Nation • Italy had no tradition of unity. • Few Italians felt ties to the new nation. Why? • Strong regional rivalries left Italy unable to solve critical national issues.
Divisions • Northern Italy • Richer • More Cities • Flourished as centers of business and culture for many centuries. • Southern Italy • Poor • Rural • Population booming • Illiterate peasants
Divisions • Roman Catholic Church and Italy divided the nation • Popes resented the seizure of the Papal States and Rome. • Government gave papacy limited rights and control over church properties. • Popes urged Italian Catholics not to cooperate with their new government.
Turmoil • Under Victor Emmanuel Italy was a constitutional monarchy • Two-House Legislature • King appointed members to the upper house • Could veto bills passed by the lower house • Lower house consisted of elected representatives • Only a small # of men had the right to vote.
Turmoil • Late 1800’s • Socialists organized strikes • Anarchists, people who want to abolish all government, turned to sabotage and violence. • Slowly, government extended suffrage to more men and passed laws to improve social conditions. • Turmoil still continued • Government set out to win an overseas empire in Ethiopia to distract attention from troubles at home.
Economic Progress • Despite its problems, Italy did develop economically, especially after 1900. • Industrialization sprouted up even with lack of important natural resources such as coal. • Industrialization brought urbanization. • Reformers campaigned to improve education and working conditions. • Population explosion created tensions. • Emigration: movement away from their homeland • Many Italians left for the US, Canada, and Latin American nations. • 1914—Italy was better off than it was in 1861, but was hardly prepared for the great war that broke out in that year.
Cool Down • How did nationalism help bring down the Austrian-Hungary Empire and the Ottoman Empire?
