Before Fascism, a newly unified Italy sought recognition as a European Power. This book collects essays on this pivotal decade, from the colonial war for Libya (1911-12) and intervention in WWI (1915), to its post-war political actions in Eastern Europe and Fiume.
The volume focuses on Italian history during the second decade of the 20th century, around the Great War, before the Fascist Ventennio and after the consolidation of the Italian kingdom carried out during the Risorgimento. A new and recently unified nation-State seems to wish to be recognized as a Mediterranean European Power. The historical development around this matter is well studied: specific elements and issues about this period can give a contribution to the knowledge of the Italian nation and nationalism. That is this book, which collects essays and topics that represent specific insights into the international history of Italy, from the colonialist war against the Turks for Libyan lands (1911-12), to the intervention of Rome in WW1 (1915), through the role played by nationalities during the conflict (1916-18), until the spread of Italian political action after the war, to Eastern Europe (1919) and the attempt for a national powerful protagonism in Fiume (1919-20).
