The Activities of the "Union of the Yugoslav Emigrants from Julian March" in the years 1933—1940

Abstract

"The Union of the Yugoslav emigrants from Julian March" vvas the main oiganization of the Slovene and Croatian emigrants who, during the period between the two wars fled from Italy to Yugoslavia. The beginning of its activity was a subject to a special discussion in the previous number of this review. In the year 1934 the activity of the Union was at its highest point, especially with the congress at Maribor. In the years to follow, the Union activity was decreasing because of the inner conflicts between the so-called "old" and "young", and between the Yugoslav iredentistic idea in connection vvith the question about Julian March and the principle of the self-decision of the nations. The Union vvas dissolved in the year 1940 by the Yugoslav authorities under the Italian pressure.
