1. Explain:

a. Why the growth of nationalism in the colonies is linked to an anti-colonial movement.

Answer: People began discovering their unity in the process of their struggle with colonialism.

Question 1. Write a note on:

(a) Guiseppe Mazzini

(b) Count Camillo de Cavour

(c) The Greek war of independence

(d) Frankfurt Parliament

(e) The role of women in nationalist struggles

Answer:

(a) Guiseppe Mazzini

• Giuseppe Mazzini was an Italian. He was born in Genoa in 1807. He became a member of the secret society of the Carbonari.
• As a young man of 24, he was sent into exile in 1831 for attempting a revolution in Liguria. He subsequently founded two more underground societies - Young Italy in Marseilles and Young Europe in Berne.
• Mazzini believed that God had intended nations to be the natural units of mankind.

(b) Count Camillo de Cavour

• He was the chief minister of Sardinia-Piedmont state. He led the movement to unify the regions of Italy. He was neither a revolutionary nor a democrat.
• Like many other wealthy and educated members of the Italian elite, he spoke French much better than he did Italian.
• He engineered a careful diplomatic alliance with France with the help of which Sardinia-Piedmont succeeded in defeating the Austrian forces in 1859. This, consequently helped to free the northern part of Italy from the Austrian Habsburgs.
