Germany believed that they were the best of the three countries, so a division had to be made. They thought that they were the best fit to take…

alliance with Prussia. Attempts should be made to veer the Prussians of the course of unification. The Prussians have rejected unification before. They are after power and land, not necessarily liberal ideas and the liberal idea of nationalism. The Prussian prime minister Otto Von Bismarck shares this view. If necessary, small German territories can be given to Prussia to create an alliance with them like the Italians did with the French. Now before the Crimean War has even started, Austria will…

assist Mussolini in his effort to prop up the fascist regime of 1930s Italy. To do this Blasetti takes historical facts regarding the unification of Italy in the 1860s and contorts the history to romanticize it in such a way that manifests a strong sense of nationalism for fascist Italy.
