Italian Nationalism

Italy went through both Liberal and Romantic. “It was a constitutional monarchy with a parliament.” Page 1. They had a progressive and prudent government for their time. The chamber of deputies was the lower house and they were elected. They also controlled the money government spend. The king appointed the senate. They could not provide weapons for one thousand men in the south which shows that not everything was divided. They lost between 20,000 to 74,000 men in the period of 1861-1870. Italy had their good times, and then they didn’t put as much effort in helping the south. So there were many casualties.
