When a Poet Invaded a City: The Fiume Endeavour

On the 12th of September 1919, Italian War Hero and Poet (among many other things) Gabriele D'Annunzio, seizes control of the city of Fiume, claiming it for Italy. This event sets in motion a bizarre situation, that is both important, and often forgotten.

Love the video. An event often forgotten or not mentioned at all. One criticism would be, I'm sure "Croat" is not pronounced like "Goat". It should be "Cro-at rather than "Crout".

One of the most voraciously ugly maps I have ever seen. An insult. Your video besides this is good. Fix it.
