Description: After the French Revolution and the spread of the Industrial Revolution, the spirit of nationalism spread throughout Europe. There were many revolutions in the 1830s and 1848. Italy and Germany were not one nation but many nation-states or provinces. It took nationalism and Machiavellian leadership to unify these disjointed states into the nations they are today.
