Using Italy as an example, how did the model of the French Revolution and Enlightenment ideals bring about political reforms for the better?
What will be an ideal response?
In nineteenth century Italy, there was no political unification until the middle of the century when several forces began to agitate for unification and a revision of the traditional government in the four major states of Italy. Drawing on the model of Enlightenment thought and political reforms, Guissepe Mazzini organized Young Italy to push for a unified, liberal Italy. Arguing for "a law of progress and duty," he called upon Italians to draw upon their inherent Nationalism to build a state. His writings encouraged the Risorgimento to organize and promote these ideals. Drawing more from the French Revolution was Giuseppe Garabaldi, born from a poor family, he rose to become a revolutionary and activist. He fought not only for nationalism in Italy, but also in the independence movements in Latin America, before returning to Italy in 1848.
