Today’s Date 9-18-17 Due Date 9-25-17
Tuesday Read Italy’s “Resurrection” in Chapter 4.
Do the Map Work (p15) 1. In 1850, if you were an American, your leader was the president of the United States. If you were Spanish, you spoke the language of Spain and saluted the Spanish flag. If you were French, you swore allegiance to the leader of France. Label France red. Label Spain yellow. 2. But in 1850, to be "Italian" simply meant that you lived on the rocky peninsula that stretched down into the Mediterranean Sea like a boot. On that peninsula, over a dozen different states jostled each other. Each had its own laws, its own borders, and its own prince. Most of those states belonged not to a country called "Italy", but to the country of Austria. Label Austria in brown. Then in green write "Italy" on the peninsula that juts into the Mediterranean. 3. In blue, label the Mediterranean Sea. Then, label Sardinia on your map. 4. One of the early revolts in Italy, against Austrian rule, began in 1848. Fighting spread north as far as the powerful state of Venice, and south all the way down to the city of Rome. Label the cities of Venice and Rome on your map. 5. The rebellions in Rome and Venice had failed. The revolt in Piedmont-Sardinia seemed doomed. So Giuseppe Garibaldi collected over a thousand soldiers together, put them onto leaky ships, and sailed down through the Mediterranean Sea to the south of Italy. He would invade Naples, the southern kingdom of Italy, and make one last attempt to fight for freedom. Label the city of Naples. 6. Garibaldi landed his ships on the shores of Sicily, the large island at the tip of the Italian peninsula. He marched his men towards Palermo, one of Sicily's most important cities. Label Palermo, and then Sicily, on your map. Then, draw an arrow from Palermo all the way up to Naples. Wednesday Read The Taiping Rebellion in Chapter 4.
