After the merger of Italy, several complications that stirred the fresh nation, who had to deal with a series of troubles that invariably affected the poorer Italians, especially in the south while disallowing the power in Rome to fully consolidate. Italy had to face a series of social, economic and reform issues as well as dealing with the poverty and unceasing emigration that took place in the late 1880´s while juggling Industrialization and a very ambitious foreign policy.
The first issue the Italians were forced to deal with in order to allow for the functioning of their nation was to fix the parliament. The Italian parliament wasn’t even close to being solid. Instead of working for the interests of their parties, parliament members focused solely on fighting for the best interest of the people they represented, basically focusing on getting reelected and so disregarding the benefits for the Italian nation as a whole.
Another problem that troubled the smooth sailing of the newly constituted nation was the voting reform. Voting became more and more exclusng as the 1800´s went by, by the end of the century in order for a someone to vote he had to be a man, he had to be literate and he was forced to own at least one piece of land. Thus only the higher classes were allowed to vote. This caused a great deal of social trouble, since the people were being governed by candidates they hadn’t even had the chance to pick out for themselves. Furthermore an imbalance of power arouse quite quickly between the North and the South. The poorer south had a 10% literacy rate, while the richer North had an overwhelming 90% handing them a massive portion of the power over who ruled the nation. Resentment grew from the south.
The strong regional differences between the states led to a lack of unity within the nation. People still considered themselves bonded with
