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.



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?






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

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.

Use what you have learned today to see if
