Unification of Italy, Germany, Greece and Britain
Explanation:
- The Germans of the middle class had sought to fight in 1848 for a single, elected parliament-governing nation, but they were oppressed by military & monarchy. The unification movement of Germany was led by Otto von Bismarck, Prussian chief minister. The office and Prussian Army supported him. Prussia conquered and reunited Germany after 3 wars with France, Austria, & Denmark. In January 1871, William I, the Prussian king, was declared the German emperor.
- Italy consisted of 7 states in the mid-19th century, where only Sardinia-Piedmont was a "princely state". The Italian language was not even popular. In 1830 the secret society of "Young Italy" was founded, and Giuseppe Mazzini brought about a radical revolt, however it failed. Diplomatically Chief Minister Cavour entered in an alliance with France in Sardinia and Piedmont. The Austrian forces were defeated by the French. Armed volunteers who were led by Giuseppe Garibaldi, and also supported by soldiers marched to the Kingdom of Two Sicilies and South Italy. They also had got peasants support there. In the year1861, "Victor Emmanuel II" was proclaimed the "king of unified Italy". But most Italians did not know the concept of liberal-nationalist ideology.
- The Greeks had no single govt/ruler for "most of this time". There were several city states, each with a constitution of its own. Examples of city-states are Corinth, Sparta, & Athens. Some people had kingdoms, and others had democracy, like Athens. Over time,the "most-powerful cities" collected other cities into groups known as "leagues" In the middle of that period, Classic Greece flourished in the 5th-4th centuries BC.The Golden Age of Athens ended with Athens' defeat by Sparta during the Peloponnesian War of 345 BC. In the last Hellenistic period, Greece was unified by Alexander the Great's conquests. Under the overarching control of Macedonia, the city states persisted.
- At the beginning of the 16th century there were two States in Britain: the England Kingdom (including Wales and governed Ireland) and the Scotland Kingdom. The Empire of Great Britain was one of those states. The formerly independent "Principality of Wales" was controlled by English monarchs under the Rhuddlan Statute in 1284. The Acts of Union gained its Royal Assent in 1707 and thus dissolved the "Kingdom of England", the "Kingdom of Scotland" and their separate parliaments, thus creating a single parliament in Great Britain and a reunited United Kingdom. The Act of 1800 united England and Ireland, who had gradually been controlled by Great Britain from 1541 to 1691, into the United kingdom of "Great Britain and Ireland in 1801".
