First World War

Mussolini and the Yugoslav Question during the First World War

The article presents Benito Mussolini’s view of the “Yugoslav Question”, i.e. the future delimitation of the eastern Adriatic coast between Italy and Yugoslavia during the First World War. The future fascist politician underwent a significant transformation during this period and so did his view of Italian-Yugoslav relations. Mussolini carefully manoeuvred between two “extreme” groups of Italian interventionists, one, the so-called rinunciatari, inclined to give significant concessions to Yugoslavia, and the other, demanding Italy’s complete control of the Adriatic.

The Great War against Eastern European Jewry, 1914-1920

Il libro analizza le condizioni degli ebrei russi durante la prima guerra mondiale e il periodo delle rivoluzioni in Russia grazie a una solida base documentaria fornita dagli archivi del Joint Distribution Committee. Oltre all'opera di assistenza, comunque, si cerca di approfondire le problematiche connesse alla guerra, come la violenza e le normi anti-ebraiche, la questione dei rifugiati e i pogrom successivi alla conclusione del conflitto.
