The Identity Crisis 🎭
- National Identity Issue: After uniting, Italy still lacked a sense of "being Italian."
- Example: Imagine uniting multiple schools into one big school, but every student still cheers only for their original school's football team!
- Language Barrier: Only 2% spoke the so-called national language - Tuscan dialect.
- Example: It's like everyone in the US speaks their state language, but only 2% speak English!
The Political Drama 🎩
- Elitist Control: Northern elites ruled Liberal Italy. They didn’t really mix with the common people.
- Think of it like a school with only the popular kids making all the decisions!
- Two Italys Theory: One was 'legal' (King, parliament), the other was 'real' (everyday peasants).
- Unstable Politics: 52 years, 29 prime ministers! Governments were as temporary as seasonal fashion trends.
Church vs. State 🕍
- Roman Question: The government took control from the Church, leading to a tiff between them.
- Think of it as two parents fighting over who gets to decide the bedtime.
- Election Boycott: The Pope was so mad, he told Catholics not to vote!

Social Movements & Conflicts 📢
- Peasant Power: Peasant leagues and cooperatives flourished. Italian "agrarian socialism" was the trendsetter in Europe.
- Workers Unite!: More workers = more unions. The Italian Socialist Party emerged in 1892.
- But... they couldn’t decide how to change things: peaceful politics or dramatic overthrow?
