Alexander's first reform was a decree of freeing the serfs in 1861, however, it only went halfway. Pheasant communities received about half the farm land in the country and nobles kept the other half. Pheasants are farmers and nobles are people where the government pays for there land.

During the eighteenth century, intellectual changes began to dismantle traditional values and institutions in Europe. Liberal ideas arose from the French Revolution which became the root to the nationalist feeling among the Italians. In 1861, the Italian states, a previously small confederation of semi-autonomous states located on the Apenning Peninsula, were unified as the Kingdom of Italy.

Alexander II’s greatest aim was to modernize Russia. He would do this through giving more power to the people, Urbanizing and industrializing Russia, and to prevent uprising in the country.

This allowed for foreign interference, conquests, and wars in both countries – and nationalism was succeeded within all of the states. On the eighteenth of January, 1871, both Italy and Germany combined their states.
