Postwar transition after 1918 in the Northeast Adriatic: between continuity and discontinuity

We invite you to the lecture by Marta Verginella from the University of Ljubljana, who will talk about the political and social transformation after 1918 in the north-east Adriatic region!

After the Italian army's occupation of the “irredent lands”, both policies of rapid adjustment to the new state structure and attempts to maintain institutional practices of the Empire can be evidenced. The minority issue i.e., the presence of some 500,000 Slovenes and Croats within the Italian borders will become central to the politics of occupation since the fall of 1918 and also a reason for disagreements between central liberal and regional nationalist positions. The lecture will analyse government action, the reactions of local society in both its Italian and Slovenian and Pro-Yugoslav voices.
