Today Italy may be a unified country, but Italy wasn't always like that. In the 1800's, Italy was a major battle ground for foreign and local princes. Common wars and rules from other areas led people to form with the other areas. For example Florence became Tuscans and Venice became Venetians, but as Germany was going through some-what of the same thing, it sparked the idea of unificaion in Italy.

Do you know what this country needs right now? If you dont... listen up because what this country really needs right now is total unification. In this letter i will adress to you the reasons why we need this and why it is a great idea. I cannnot do this all by myself so I will need all the help that i can get so please dont stop reading this letter now it only gets better.
My first set of reasons why we need unification is because it will solve problems with the trade routes and the wars that they cause. Another reason is that a unified country could lead to a better representitive state. My third reason is that it helps to promote mass preduction,which will help our country out trumendously. Some more reasons are that the Italian states all had the same language, for the most part thye had the same history, and they have the same geography. So please help me and the other leaders unify Italy as one.
