With the rise of industrialization in Europe, countries such as Germany and Italy felt an increase in the need for nationalism. With improvements in transportation on land and most importantly water, railroads, and other new and improved technologies, citizens of both Germany and Italy acquired a new thought process: the need for nationalism. One might ask what industrialization and nationalism have to do with one another, and the answer is simple: with new technologies and cultural improvements, the need to unify and defend one’s country becomes greater. For example, when a child acquires a toy that is semi broken and not necessarily new, the child’s motivation to play with that toy may not be great, and he or she will more than likely not mind sharing the toy with another child. But, if the parent of the child decides to fix the toy and make it shiny and new looking, the child’s motivation to play with that toy will become greater, and the chance of that child sharing his better and newer looking toy becomes less likely to happen; the child now likes his or her toy and will become possessive of it. This idea of acquiring a new and improved object runs parallel to the idea of nationalism becoming more popular due in part to industrializing one’s country. This was not the only reason that contributed to the rise of nationalism, obviously. It did, however, play a big role in the minds of the citizens of Germany and Italy.
