After Napoleon’s defeat in 1815, the Congress of Vienna split Italy into eight independent states with major influences from the surrounding powers of Spain, France and especially Austria.

Italy, before its process of revolution began, was mostly ruled by foreign powers and absolute monarchs. The country’s citizens decided they wanted a change in their government and freedom from the many rulers they experienced.

With the help of some historical revolutionaries such as Mazzini, Garibaldi, Cavour and the combination of multiple independence wars, Italy finally saw
After Napoleon had been defeated in the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, the Congress of Vienna was held the same year under the control Foreign Minister Metternich's leadership. In this conference Austria was given control of the Italian states of Venetia and Lombardy, in compensation for her loss of Belgium.

Giuseppe Garibaldi never lacked admirers. In my eyes he is one of the best world leaders because he was a great man and unified many places like Italy. For a period of time he was the most widely known person in the world, as an Italian revolutionary Garibaldi became a worldwide celebrity even before he succeeded in uniting Italy. He was an Italian general and politician who played a large role during the creation of Italy as the country we now know it to be. He helped free Italy from foreign rule

The House of Savoy, Guiseppe Garibaldi, Guiseppe Mazzini and Camillo di Cavour were all prominent figures for the unification of Italy. They all had different parts to play for the unification of Italy, whether it was creating or enacting out the plans for unifying Italy, being the whole life and soul of the plan to bring Italy together as one nation, or conquering other regions to force them into joining the Kingdom of Italy. This shows how all of these people had some significance when it came

In Harlem, New York the “New Negro” was born by various intellectuals, artists, musicians, and writers who celebrated cultural creativity and nobility throughout the African-American community.

changed jazz music with his own unique style known as “scatting.” Without Cab Calloway, also known as “The Hi-De-Ho Man”, hip-hop and modern jazz may have never existed. Cab Calloway was born on December 25, 1907 in Rochester, New York at his family’s house on Cypress Street. People always tried to make something out of the fact that Cab was born on Christmas. It never meant very much to him that he was born on Christmas, except that as a child he only got presents once a year and other kids got them
of 'the American dream'" (Savoy, 2003, pg. 167) Although containing many similar elements to that of its European counterpart, American Gothic has its own distinct features that make it "particularly American". These features include setting, language, style and essentially the subject of the text which concerns American history and fears.

The Harlem Renaissance and Langston Hughes have a special connection with each other because of the significance of the time period. For one, the Harlem Renaissance occurred from 1920-1935 which corresponded with the age of Jazz and the start of recorded music along with the radio becoming popular. Hughes’ poetry and writing captures the essence of the age and his autobiography The Big Sea offers a story of an individual striving to overcome racial barriers to success (Enotes).

Throughout the seventeenth century, Europe was in a state of crisis. In many countries, violent revolts and riots were not out of the ordinary. In most of these cases of violence, human behaviors and actions of the controlling governments and royalty authorities were the underlying factors that set the stage for the chaotic state.

James P. Johnson (also a pianist and composer). Along with Fats Weller and Jolly Roll Morton, these were the greats who truly influenced him and his musical direction.
