The rise of nationalism in the 19th and early 20th centuries significantly reshaped the political landscape of Europe and beyond. Nationalism, the belief that a group of people sharing a common culture, language, or history should have their own nation-state, led to the unification of Italy and Germany. Figures such as Giuseppe Garibaldi and Otto von Bismarck played pivotal roles in these unifications, which altered the balance of power in Europe.
