Modern Italy
During the 19th century
Italy grew in nationalistic fervour. This fervour brought on revolution,
& lost territory
was reclaimed. Italy, however, remained divided between church & state, rich & poor, north &
south.
In WWI, Italy lost 1 million through its wartime efforts. This loss, coupled with a
poor economy & polictical
disillusionment led to the rise of fascism. In 1922 facist
dictator Mussolini came into power. Mussolini would join
with Hitler in WWII.
