Fiume (Rijeka)

A Dictionary of Contemporary World History | 2004 | | Copyright

Fiume (Rijeka) A port on the Adriatic which was claimed both by Yugoslavia and Italy. After World War I the formerly Austrian port was given to Yugoslavia, despite vociferous Italian protests. In defiance of the Treaty of St Germain, the adventurist D'Annunzio and his followers occupied the city, transformed it into a city-state and established an authoritarian government, 1919–21. In 1924 it was acquired by Italy in an agreement with Yugoslavia, though after World War II it became part of Yugoslavia once again. As part of Croatia, it became part of an independent Croatian state in 1991.

Rijeka

Concise Dictionary of World Place-Names | 2005 | | Copyright

Rijeka, Croatia Tarsatica, Trsat, Rika, Fiume The Italian Fiume and Croatian Rijeka both mean ‘River’, a reference to the Riječina (known as the Fiumara or Eneo in Italian). In 1920, under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, Fiume became a free state linked to Italy by a strip of land and in 1924 Benito Mussolini (1883–1945), Italian prime minister (1922–43), annexed it to Italy. Only in 1945 did the entire city pass to the Croats as part of Yugoslavia.
