amongst each other. However, significant players in both

nations paths to a unified state had very different approaches to unification.

Modern Italy owes its foundation most of all to the Camillo di Cavour. Before his time the Italian peninsula was made up of scattered independent states. Giuseppe Mazzini inspired the Italians to make the peninsula one kingdom. Giuseppe Garibaldi was the great military hero. Cavour, a nobleman, was the organizer, politician, and diplomat who made the union of Italy a reality.

Because of the 1848 revolutions Cavour probably did not believe that the creation of a unified Italy was feasible within his lifetime; until at least 1859 he strove rather for an expanded Norhtern Italian kingdom under the house of Savoy. To achieve this goal he strived for foreign support against Austrian domination. In 1858 he won the backing of Emperor Napoleon III of France for a war against Austria, promising in exchange to give Savoy and Nice to France. Austria was moved around like a pawn into declaring war and was forced to surrendor Lombardy. Because France refused to continue fighting with Austra, Cavour resigned as premier.

n 1860 Cavour returned to office to find Sardina on the verge of annexation. "Cavour, taking advantage of the auspicious circumstances for Italian unification, sent Sardinian troops into the Papal States, which, with the exception of Latium and Rome, were soon annexed to Sardinia."

The imperialist forcesbelieve that their own "god" is motivating them to care for no one else but themselves and speaking to them and telling them exactly what to accomplish, who to conquer or protect. Obviously these imperialists want to be gloryfull in everything and everything that they take up. they do not feel that they can be conquered or defeated. they have absolute confidence in their actions and their beliefs. They want to spread and spread and spread until the whole world is conquered by the imperialist forces and they possess "the world" They are motivated by land and wealth in this aspect. In that time of imperialist expansion it was the "supreme danger of modern national states."

The assertion that by 1914 authoritarian monarchy had disappeared and that liberal political principles had been, or were being, incorporated into constitutions can be summarized by Otto von Bismarck. Allthough Bismarck defended absolutism he knew that he had to stick to the path of constitutionality. Bismarck says, in his Speech to the Reichstag:
