Nationalism and the Creation of Italy

Nationalism (or patriotism) is the love for your country and a willing to sacrifice for it. I'm nationalistic because I am proud of the fact that I'm Polish, I am not ashamed of it. I think that me just telling people and being proud of where I'm from shows that I am nationalistic.
During the first half of the 1800's three groups were struggling for leadership in European countries; The Conservatives were usually very wealthy land owners or nobility argued for keeping old monarchies (Kings and Queens) in the countries as the ones with power. The Liberals, middle-class men, businessmen and merchants wanted power for the elected. parliaments and the Radicals who wanted big changes and the spread of democracy. The idea of Nationalism sparked up. People believed that they shouldn't be loyal to a king or monarch but to their culture, language and people that have the same qualities. Between 1815 and 1848 people on territory on Italy did not want to live under foreign rule anymore

Simon Bolivar and Latin American Revolutions


Simon Bolivar was one of the greatest heros of all South America. He helped him conquer most of it from the Spanish and gained many countries independence. Bolivia was named after him (before it was a upper-state of Peru) in 1825. Bolivar was fighting for freedom of all the South America from the Spanish, influenced by the American and French revolutions.

Evolution vs. Creation




Theory of Evolution
The theory of evolution is based on an idea that we (humans) evolved from our look alike specie which we call monkeys over the course of billions of years. This theory was published by Charles Darwin.


Theory of Creation
The theory of evolution is based on the idea that God has created us and everything else in the world. This is a religion based theory of how we exist.


My Opinion
I'm Catholic so according to my religion I'm supposed to believe in the theory of creation. But when thinking about it a lot both theories have no 100% proof. So I just don't believe in any of them.
