modern day artists inject classical music into their music. Making re-mixes of other songs, or creating something completely on their own. Like Lindsey Stirling. She injects classical music into her music by using the violin. Artists of old like Giuseppe Verdi composed operas. Operas still include classical music. He had to create the music to create the opera didn’t he? Operas are a sort of play that has music, but also tells a story, and the actors are always singing. They never speak normally. Today

Giuseppe Garibaldi “The Sword” of Italian Unification ”My goal, which was, I believe, shared by most italians at that time, was to unite the country and rid it of foreign powers. Those who gave Italy her freedom would earn her people’s gratitude” (Garibaldi, page 6). During the age of Italian unification, there were three men who fought for her (Italy’s) freedom. Those men were Cavour the brains, Mazzini the soul, and Garibaldi the sword (Chastain). Giuseppe Garibaldi was born in Nice in 1807 (Garibaldi

Unification of Italy and Germany By 1871 both the kingdom of Italy and the empire of Germany were united. Even though both countries used popular trends to that time, both liberalism and nationalism, the process unifying these two countries was very different.

Before the mid-1800’s, Italy and Germany were split into many different republics, city-states, and principalities until two men unified each respective country. These men used every means available to them to unify their countries and further expand their realms as well as securing the safety of their country. They also, at times, worked together in order to expand and secure their borders specifically against the Austrians. Leading politicians Otto Von Bismarck and Camillo Cavour united their countries
