    UDK: 327(450:497.5)’’1941/1945’’ ITALIAN POLICIES TOWARD CROATIANS IN OCCUPIED TERRITORIES DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR Zdravko DIZDAR* Developments Before the War Italian policies toward Croatian territories during the Second World War represent a continuation of those pursued by the Fascists after they came to power in 1922. From its very beginnings, the Fascio (Partito nazionale fascis- ta) had been an extremist nationalist party. When various Irredentist groups (Pro Fiume, Pro Dalmazia, Italia irredenta) linked up with the Fascists, irre- dentism became a key plank in the Fascists’ foreign policy goal to achieve a “national and imperial Italy.” This meant expansion into the Balkans and the eastern Adriatic Coast and transforming D’Annunzio’s mare amerissimo into an Italian mare domestico. Through this means, the political and economic power of the Fascist empire would be attained. These policies received an initial boost from the Allied nations through the secret Treaty of London in 1915 which promised Italy the Croatian ter- ritories of Istria, the Kvarner, the Dalmatian islands (other than Šolta and Brač) and the mainland areas of northern Dalmatia in return for entering World War I on their side. Italy took over these areas in 1918, even though these same territories had formed part of the new State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs formed upon Austria-Hungary’s collapse.1 The entry of the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs into the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (Kraljevina Srba, Hrvata i Slovenaca (SHS), called the Kingdom of Yugoslavia after 1929) on 1 December 1918 with the Kingdom of Serbia forced Italy to reach an agreement with the SHS concerning the so-called “Adriatic Question.” The Italians and Yugoslavs resolved their differences through the Treaty of Rapallo in 1924 (signed by representatives of the governments of Benito Mussolini and Nikola Pašić) pursuant to which Italy also received Rijeka.
