Hey History! Topic: United We Stand?

On your own, take a minute to list as many factors that might unite a group of people and establish a nation.

In your groups, go around in a circle and have each person state one of their factors, but it has to be one that has not been said yet.

See who can be the last person to list an original factor.

Major Factors that Pushed toward Unification… What factors do you think may have pushed

Italy and Germany toward Unification?

The French Revolution, a growing sense of nationalism, economic improvements, and the desire to gain power through expansion are only some of the causes of Unification!

But how did they do it?

Sequence Chart: Germany and Italy Person A and B, you will get Italy! Person C and D, you will get Germany!

Work together to use your textbook for determining the major events in each case that led to the Unification of each nation.

Once you have determined your events, place them in a sequence chart placing the events in order

Also, for each event, include a statement for how the event helped the nation move toward Unification.

After you have finished your nation, work with your table group to create a sequence chart for the other nation

Unification of Italy and Germany Graphic Organizer Use the information you have gathered, and

work with your table group to record defining facts about each person and event that led to the eventual Unification of each country.
