Hi, finally a video speaking about the Free Territory of Trieste! In other video you describe states which can exist in future or part of territories wanting to split from the state in which they now are. Remember that in Trieste there is still an underground movement for indipendence, which sometimes grow up to the surface: in 2013 almost 3.000 inhabitants of Trieste marched to remember the anniversary of foundation of the Free Territory of Trieste., claiming the indipendence of the city from Italy

Hello from Rijeka, former Free State of Fiume (it's actually pronounced with a sonic E at the end). Today, we live in the third largest city in Croatia, but there's a strong local identity as well. While any kind of serious separatist movements aren't present, there is a constant reminder of the unique position we are in. The symbolic two-headed eagle still stands in several public places. Some curiosities might be the strong Italian culture being present here, as well as generally somewhat more liberal political stances than the majority of Croatia. Throughout history, we have been under Hungary, Habsburg Empire, Serbia, France, Italy and of course, Croatia. There is a lot of cultural mixing here.

8:27 there's an interesting story about Fiume (river in Italian). Italian soldiers felt cheated from the treaty of Versailles, just like the Germans did, because Italy requested those lands of Istria and Dalmatia when winning the war with treaty of London prior entry of Italy to WW1 having the majority of Italians living on those coasts. The morale of Italian soldiers was low at the end of WW1 because they felt they had fought for nothing. Unfortunately, Woodrow Wilson didn't give those lands to Italy because many Slavs were also living there, but the majority of them were on the inside of those regions. What he granted to Italy was the South Tyrol (Alto Adige), which was never part of Italy and always belonged to Austria. That's why in that part of Italy nowadays, those people living there are still very hostile to us Italians. This was one of the main factors that made fascism grow after the Great War and inspired the famous Italian poet and writer Gabriele D'Annunzio and other WW1 veterans to take over Fiume which was part of those lands for which Italians fought for. D'Annunzio was an heroic WW1 veteran who flew alone over Vienna and dropped leaflets making fun of the Austro-Hungarian empire and trolling them basically as he could have dropped bombs instead. He also left, on another occasion, 3 bottles (a green, a white and a red one) in the harbour of Kotor in Montenegro (where a good amount of Austria Hungary fleet were) with a war boat and with only a few men onboard. If anyone is interested, it's possible to visit his mansion which he left and it is very peculiar inside ( Google "il Vittoriale of D'Annunzio).

@@MrWolf-xk8sl If you count in Italians that moved in and those in military service that came during occupation than those numbers are true for that point in time. But also there was forced italianization on the Croat population where they were mixed with Italians and generally they didn't give much fucks what slavs within their territory back then think or feel. As far as they were concerned it was all to be italianized or expelled. The same thing goes for Serbs who got a chunk too big for them to swallow so they settled for Yugoslavia to achieve their post-war goals.

Missed opportunity to talk about how before the institution of the free city of Fiume, it was militarily occupied by famed italian poet, writer, aviator, aesthete, nationalist and douchebag Gabriele D'Annunzio and a bunch of so called "legionaries", since they all were fairly outraged about the ridiculous territorial concessions given to Italy followin the Versailles treaty. Overall events like these were among the causes that led to the rise of fascism in Italy, but it's also really something we italians love to joke about based on how over the top D'Annunzio was

D’Annunzio and co. set up an Italian regency of Carnaro in the city, which was more of a Salazar-type syndicalist dictatorship rather than fascism, but then the British and French decided to create a free territory so they had the Italians reject the protectorate and send troops to free the city of the Italian legionaries and set up a free territory instead, however despite Italy granting this favor which was unpopular at home, the allies then did not grant Italy as much of Dalmatia as it had been promised and only let them keep Zara. I believe this was part of the “mutilated victory” narrative, very similar to the “stab in the back” only from the victor’s perspective

Cool video! This is one of those events in history that I find really fascinating. There are many others that could've been mentioned as well. There were a lot of these types of nation-building and separatist experiments going on during the various Communists uprisings and the Russian Civil War like the Republic of the Far East, Green Ukraine, the Transcaucasian SFSR, etc. You could also take as examples the territorial holdings of the Warlords during the Warlord Era and the civil war in China from the 20s up to the 50s.

As a Ukrainian, it's pretty funny how our deportations led to a ton of these states from existing. Grey Ukraine, Purple Ukraine, Pink Ukraine (Kuban'), and the most famous, Green Ukraine. And then Carpatho-Ukraine, as mentioned here. But there was a group of pro-Russian Rusyn's in west Galicia, that declared a Lemko-Rusyn People's Republic, which shouldn't be confused for its nearby pro-Ukrainian neighbour, the Komancza Republic (East-Lemko Republic).

If you watch Lidia’s Kitchen on PBS in the states, the host Lidia Bastianich was actually born in the southern part of Istria, which became Zone B. Her family was forced (like many others) to change their names to sound more Slavic, her family went from Matticchio to Motika, fearing life In Yugoslavia, she fled with her mother and brother to Trieste, under the pretense of visiting a sick relative. Her father was to stay behind as an unspoken hostage, to ensure their return. He snuck away that night and crossed into zone A to join them. They ended up as refugees along with many others, and eventually were given permission to emigrate to America. Her ex-husband was also from zone B, hence her still having a Slavic last name.

You missed Neutral Moresnet, It was a state that basically consisted of a zinc mine and three villages in Kelmis in present day Belgium from 1816 until 1920. When Napoleon had lost, Germany (Prussia) and The Netherlands coukd not agree on ownership, so it became an independent country where the mayor was also king. They had their own money, stamps. taxation, anthem and flag (the Saargebiet flag upside down). There were plans to declare esperanto the national language, There even was the only quadrupal border in the world between Moresnet, Belgium, Germany and The Netherlands. At the current triple border between Belgium, Germany and The Netherlands there still is a Moresnet border stone. After WW 1 Belgium annexed Moresnet.

While not well known, but between 1920 and 1922 there was the Republic of Central Lithuania, an interesting temporary country, with an ideological background. Marshall Pilsudski dreamed of creating the great polish state, witch would have included present day Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine. By Pilsudski's idea, the great polish should have had such administrative territories as East Lithuania (mostly present day Belarus), central Lithuania (mostly the Vilnius region) and west Lithuania (mostly present day Lithuania). The attempt to create such a state was unsuccessful, but the Republic of Central Lithuania did gain a temporary materialization in the following years after WW I. In the end, when the Republic of Lithuania was able to get a foothold, and little by little gained international recognition, the country of Central Lithuania was scrapped and incorporated into Poland.

Yep and Lithuania was pissed that Poland didn’t give them Vinius/Wilna. That was one of the carrots the Soviets offered in 1939/40 after the annexation of eastern Poland by the Soviet Union. Vilnius was given back to Lithuania, but then a few months later the Soviet Union annexed Lithuania as well. However Vilnius remained in the Lithuanian SSR, allowing Lithuania to keep the city upon its independence.

Danzig is a very interesting case. Not poles, yet polish. There even was rebellion of the Prussian Confederacy, centered around the city, managed by Pomeranio-prussian merchants and peasants against the teutonic order, with the aim to unite as an autonomous part with poland - it was a historical tradition that Gdańsk would be poland s seagate and tradehub, in exchange for autonomy, protection from (mostly) germans, which allowed the Danzigers to avoid kinda strangling holyroman laws and customs. So yeah, the city decided to be polish to cheat in the game of trade.

This feels like a weird shilly thing to say but I swear it's legit. I've never seen a channel I watch do an ad for something I've played or used before a decent amount and enjoyed. I've played Supremacy 1914 and Call of war loads on and off, it's definitely a specific taste of game and should be seen as more of an idle game you can really focus in on and requires communicating with other players a fair bit but if you want something to sink the odd few minutes every hour or so into then definitely give it ago!

Saar 1935 Referendum: The ballot papers used for the referendum had numbers on them that corresponded to the names on the register of electors, U.K. elections also use these identification numbers. After the Saar was united with Germany the new Nazi regime used these identification numbers to track down all who had voted for the Saar not to be reunited with Germany.

The correct pronunciation of Trieste has no silent letters. Thus, every letter in this place name is pronounced. Trieste is pronounced: 1st syllable: tree (In Italian, the letter i is pronounced like the long e sound.), 2nd syllable: es (In Italian, the letter e is pronounced like the long a sound. However, the letter in this syllable is pronounced almost like the short e sound. This pronunciation is between the long a sound and short e sound, but sounds closer to the short e sound.), 3rd syllable: te (The letter e I this syllable is pronounced like the long a sound.).

That's correct, in Italian. There's still a small Slovene minority, who write Trst, and pronounce Terst. In other languages, Trieste is known as Triest, without the ending -e, even if most have adopted the Italian name nowadays, so it's not as clear-cut.

Saarland maintained a commercial link to France after joining Germany. Until public tenders became mandatory by the EU, public services would use French vehicles. The police usually drove Peugeot, Saarbrücken city buses were Berliet (maybe that is why the Berliet PR110 citybus was not totally but in many points built to the German SL1 citybus standards) and later Renault, etc.

If you considered proto Yugoslavia, the Kingdom of the Serbs,Croats and Slovenes as a country you'd have to consider the much more modern Serbia Montenegro the short-lived proto state between between the rump of Yugoslavia and Serbia and Montenegro as separate countries.although Serbia Montenegro was technically one county and I suppose similar to the modern United Kingdom,a country made up of countries, they used different money.Serbia the Yugoslav Dinar and Montenegro the Euro and I had a lot of trouble changing Serb money in Montenegro.

After the Saar Protectorate became a Federal State of the FRG 🇩🇪 on January 1st 1957 its Economy was until July 5th 1959 still under the Control of France 🇨🇵. So the Border between it and the FRG 🇩🇪 and also the Currency, the "Saar-Franken", which was pegged 1:1 to the French Franc and had its own Bills and Coins which had the same Measures like the French Franc and was also authorized from the French National Bank and existed until then.

I am not an expert on Gdańsk history, but I read a bit about it and the 1% mentioned at 2:28 is a very low estimate. As to what I see most historians oscillate at a number of around 10% of Poles and Kashubians living in the Free City, with some suggesting even more. Point is that after the war even the very anti-German communists allowed many thousands of pre-war inhabitants to stay in the city as they were considered Polish.

The Free City of Danzig (German: Freie Stadt Danzig; Polish: Wolne Miasto Gdańsk) was a semi-autonomous city-state that existed between 1920 and 1939, consisting of the Baltic Sea port of Danzig (now Gdańsk, Poland) and nearly 200 towns and villages in the surrounding areas. It was created on 15 November 1920[1][2] in accordance with the terms of Article 100 (Section XI of Part III) of the 1919 Treaty of Versailles after the end of World War I.
