    The Liberal Government’s major issue following unification was Italy’s economic progress due to various problems. The economic situation in Italy after Unification was lacking modern communications such as roads due to a limited degree of industrialisation. This was a huge problem for the Liberal’s to solve because it meant that Italy was industrially declined in comparison to most of Europe. As of this decline, the Liberal’s tried to put an end to the Economic backwardness by increasing industrial production. This occurred by essentially increasing the percentage of the workforce in industry. Industrial giants such as Fiat and Pirelli employed more workers to help contribute to the increased percentage working in industry from 13% in 1871 to 23% in 1913. This proved successful for the Liberal’s in ways that they improved industrial output. However, the workforce for industry being 23% was still approximately half than that of the workforce for agriculture being 57%. Accordingly, the Liberal Government did not heavily improve industrialisation successfully. Moreover, this increase in industrial workforce did prove to widen the north-south divide socially because of industry situating mainly in the north of Italy. To conclude, you would say that the Liberal Government failed to deal with this inherited problem although it did increase the…

    While the 1924 Labour government was undoubtedly one of the most important developments in party politics, there were other factors that contributed to the change from Liberal vs Conservatives in the 1880 to Labour vs conservative with Liberal's downfall by 1951. The 1924 Labour government was arguably a significant development as it was the first time Labour won an election, proving they had progressed from a small independent party to a real opponent of the Conservatives. This was significant as it showed that Labour had finally gotten their foot in the door and how Conservatives had not fully recovered from their decline in the previous 2 decades. The win was a huge shock to the Conservatives, but they won in a weak position and only lasted 10 months.…

    There were many factors that lead to the emigration of Italians to America in the 1800’s and 1900’s. The Italians in Southern Italy were the ones who suffered the most. Southern Italy was under the control of Spanish Monarchy, and kings left them living in poverty. In fact, 85% of Italian immigrants came from South of Naples down to Sicily. Garibaldi’s victory unfortunately did not produce the outcome Southern Italians were looking for. They were soon invaded by Northern Italy, and by that time, most southern peasants could not provide for their families. Most of their meager wages went to pay for the high taxes enforced by the North. By this time, Southern Italian’s had turned away from outsiders, and invested everything they had in family.…

    Due to the large number of slaves working on the farms of the rich, farmers who used to work at nearby lands started to lose their jobs and the little income they used to earn. The problems with property and debt became so severe that the farmers eventually sold their lands to search for other jobs. Even with that, they could not be employed as the slaves took up most of the available jobs (Perry et al. 2007 : 13). The poverty, tax and military service caused much suffering among the Italians (Appian R. Hist. Ex. 7). In addition to that, decreasing number of crops, problems regarding transportation and the rebellion of slaves in Sicily caused an increase in the prices of grain, adding more burden on the already poor farmers (Blois & Spek 1997 : 196). As cited in Stockton, “Tiberius Gracchus sought to carry an agrarian law. It appealed to the common people. It looked likely to safeguard the fortunes of the poor.” (Stockton 1979 : 31). This downfall of Rome’s economy at that time not only affected the lives of the people but also directly influenced the military manpower of Rome. Poor men who continue to lose their lands dropped to a social class where they are not qualified to enroll in the army due to their low asset qualifications that does not exceed the minimum standard to join legionary service. Most of the soldiers are also left with nothing after they retire except possessions seized from victories in…

    The people of Italy have been a victim of this type of falsification, especially on the island of Sicily. This can be some justification for why the myth of the mafia is present. The word mafia originates from Italian, as does the type of organization, which has paved the way for the mobs in Russia, Poland, etc. From the early states of Italy’s birth, the south lacked the governmental resources needed to foster growth. Thus, the mafia seized the moment and took things into their own hands. Crime seems to emerge from the greatest lack of unemployment; in this case the southern area hit the hardest was Sicily, which makes sense why the myth of Sicilian culture became present. On the flip side, an alternative myth became present: The Robin Hood myth. The Myth can quickly be dispelled, as they may work towards helping people, but those people are either their members or their family, which in most cases are the same thing. All in all, the myths and reality of the mafia have changed Italy not only politically by its corruption that is tied to the mafia, but by how the global views Italians and…

    The typical Italian mafia stereotype has some truth since our mafia was strongly influenced my Italy. During the mid-1800s the Sicilian mafia grew exponentially in Italy, but this quickly came to an end.

    Many people have emigrated from Italy to America over the past few centuries. During the time period of 1880-1920, the largest number of Italians arrived in America as nearly four million Italian immigrants came to the states. Most came from either Sicily or southern Italy and were mostly comprised of lower income people. A majority of the immigrants were known as the "birds of passage". Life was often hard for Italians in America as they were forced into slums and the process of gaining citizenship was difficult. They faced difficult tests, both physically and mentally and many were sent back to Italy for failing. Americans looked down on Italians and they were stereotyped as violent people due to the number of gangs affiliated with the Italian culture. Al Capone was just one of many famous gangsters who reinforced this way of thinking. The Italians brought their heritage and traditions with them, helping to make the United States a cultural melting pot.…
