Italian, German and Slovene (Yugoslav) Juncture (1918—1920)

Abstract

The territory of the Slovenes is the central link of the only juncture of aH three great European lingulstlc famllies, the Roman, the German and the Slavic. After the end of the First World War and disintegration of the Hapsburg monarchy the new state demarcation on this territory among ltaly, Austrla and Yugoslavia has been made according to the principle of unhindered divisibility of the Slovene nation. Only the majority of the Slovenes succeeded in their joining Yugoslavia. The problems of free and constructlve coexistence on this unique European juncture haven't been solved in all those years.
