Answer 2

Italy:

Prior to unification, Italy was a collection of city states with a wide range of identities. The biggest effect, other than Italy speaking with one national voice, was a significant rise in nationalism. Italy went from not being unified to being rabidly proud of Italy and quite nationalistic.

Germany:

Basically the same. Germany unified under Bismarck and a rabid cult of nationalists was created that glorified Germanic influences in the world. Germany became a strong unified military power backed by rabid nationalism.
