Summary/Abstract: The politics of violence practiced by the Italian fascist regime of Istria during the interwar period, especially as it was directed against the Croatian and Slovenian population, incited in these people an euphoria of nationalism during the general national uprising of September 1943, and immediately following liberation in 1945, a “national revenge” against the mainly urban Italian population. National tensions between Croats and Slovenes on one hand, and Croats and Italians on the other, were the result of the unclarified political status of Istria. Tensions peaked as the peacemakers conferred in Paris. Research revealed that the causes behind the mass exodus of Italians were many in number and complicated. These causes were likewise difficult to follow because it was often hard to disentangle social factors, such as family, upbringing, education, and cultural background from political and economic factors.
