Synopsis

Understanding the messy diplomacy and border fights that shaped the Adriatic after World War I. This book offers a clear, documentary-style look at how Yugoslavia and Italy battled over ports and territories, and how this struggle tested allies and ideals. It blends political maneuvering with on-the-ground realities to show why the final borders mattered.

The narrative centers on the postwar negotiations surrounding the port of Rieka and the broader Adriatic question. It explains how competing claims, secret treaties, and changing leadership in Belgrade, Rome, Paris, and London influenced decisions. Readers will encounter pivotal figures, shifting alliances, and the pressures of international diplomacy that shaped the birth of Yugoslavia.


  • A concise overview of the key players and their goals after the war

  • Insight into how treaty terms and concessions affected border outcomes

  • Context for the competing national interests that fed regional tensions

  • Discussion of how international opinion and American diplomacy influenced the process



Ideal for readers of Balkan history, early 20th-century diplomacy, and studies in nation-building and border politics.
