In this video, we dive deep into the concept of nationalism and its profound impact on the 19th and early 20th centuries. Nationalism, a strong love and loyalty to one's own country, reshaped the world in significant ways, leading to the emergence of new nations and the disintegration of old empires.

Russia: Explore the 370-year-old Russian Empire's struggles with ethnic diversity, Russification, and the Russian Revolution, which ultimately gave rise to the Soviet Union.
Ottoman: Learn about the tensions within the Ottoman Empire and the establishment of modern-day Turkey following World War I.
Italy: Uncover the Risorgimento and the long journey to Italian unification, featuring key figures like Count Camillo di Cavour and Giuseppe Garibaldi.
Germany: Dive into the unification of Germany, driven by realpolitik, and the transformation of Germany into a united nation-state and a major international player.
