Compare+nationalism+in+Egypt+and+Italy

The nations of Egypt and Italy did not necessarily unite in the same way but the factors that led up to them doing so were similar in many way. One could say that it was actually the ambitions of [|Napoleon Bonaparte]and his conquests that led to their actions. It was the imposition of foreign dominance that brought the people of these nations together through their restlessness, and the main foreign entity was France in both cases.
