Abstract

The author deals with the warming up of relations between Italy and Yugoslavia after 1935, which led to the signing of an agreement by Ciano and Stojadinović in March 1937. At the time, Italy was increasingly modeling its politics on that of Germany, which, in turn, was pushing Italy out of Austria and the Balkans. Consequently, the agreements signed by Ciano and Stojadinović were no longer characterized by the new, active policy that Italy had wished to exercise in the Danube region and the Balkans. The traumatic international relations that marked those two years were reflected in daily life, especially that of the Slovenian population in the Julian March, who for twenty years had to endure bitter and tragic consequences of the annexation to the Italian monarchy.
