'nationalism' wasn't really a single phenomenon. it was useful for a long time because it superseded localism and allowed for the recruitment of more of the population into war efforts. technology and printing also pushed toward the standardization of time zones and languages, and the age of sail led to trading systems and zones which mapped more to 'nations' than to something more traditional like a fiefdom.

because that's the nature of power. what you're asking is why individual fighters aren't more individualistic or at least locally-communal to the point of rejecting central authority and its demands. history teaches us that this is simply not how most people 'work,' psychologically.

the italian statelets were too inefficient by the 19th century to survive european power relations. unification of some kind was inevitable, especially after 'greece' popped back into existence following the ottoman occupation.
