Mussolini
Benito Mussolini was an Italian politician and leader of the National Fascist Party who ruled Italy as Prime Minister from 1922 to 1943.

Nationalism in germany
Prior to the 19th century, Germany was made up of 39 independent states. Prussia, under the rule of Wilhelm, appointed Otto von Bismark as prime minister who believed in using military force rather than diplomacy to achieve his goals. Bismark helped Prussia defeat Denmark and manipulate Austria to weaken it. He then provoked France into declaring war on the German states to convince them to unify under Prussian leadership. This resulted in the formation of a unified German nation with Prussia at its helm after defeating France in the Franco-Prussian War.

3) By October 1922, Mussolini and the Fascists felt powerful enough to march on Rome, and the King appointed Mussolini as Prime Minister, beginning his rule and transformation of Italy into a one-party fascist state over the following years.
Unification of Italy and Germany
This document summarizes the unification of Italy in the 19th century. It describes how Italy was divided after 1815 and how nationalism led to a unification movement. Key figures who led the unification effort include Giuseppe Mazzini, who established the nationalist group Young Italy; Count Camillo di Cavour, who as Prime Minister of Sardinia industrialized the region and reduced the Pope's influence; and Giuseppe Garibaldi, a nationalist who successfully led the unification of Southern Italy. Ultimately, Cavour was able to trick Garibaldi into allowing Sardinia's king to rule the newly unified Italy under a new Constitutional Monarchy.
Section 3
By 1900, several European nations were experiencing demands for democratic reforms and increased industrialization:
1) France established a republic in 1875 with a president and two-house legislature, though the premier actually ran the government and was responsible to the popularly elected chamber.
2) Germany had a two-house legislature but ministers were responsible to the emperor, not parliament, and Bismarck sought to stifle democracy through foreign expansion.
3) Russia began industrializing under Nicholas II but faced calls for reforms, leading to his granting of civil liberties and the creation of the Duma legislature.

The map of the origins
The students created a map on their classroom wall showing the origins of their families, connecting colored strings from grandparents' hometowns in various countries to the students' four hometowns. The map revealed that half of the French students' families came from abroad, from countries like Italy, Germany, and North Africa, showing France has long been an immigrant nation. In contrast, the Polish students' families were all native to Poland, and the same was true for most Norwegian and Southern Italian students, though those countries have recently seen more immigration from Africa. Creating the map helped the students understand how migration has interconnected the peoples and histories of different European countries.
