Unification of italy
Frankfurt parliament ke bareme

Answer 1

In 1848, Germany was not a unified country, but was made of up individual principalities and German-speaking lands including Austria and Prussia. A national assembly was formed to write a constitution and to end the uprisings in several principalities. While a constitution was written, it never went into effect and the unification of Italy had to be put on hold.Italy used to be many different, smaller countries. Between 1815–1871 Italy started to form these smaller states and became one country, the Kingdom of Italy, led by Vittorio Emanuele II of Italy (Called Victor Emanuel II in English). Starting around 1848, nationalism and patriotism became popular throughout Europe. Many people wanted the smaller countries with similar culture, language, or ethnicity to join together. This resulted in two major countries being formed. The first was Italy in the Italian unification. The second was Germany in the German unification.
