Zadar and the Treaty of Rapallo (On the Occasion of the 90th Anniversary)

Autor u radnji sažeto govori o stanju u Zadru i Dalmaciji tijekom i neposredno nakon Prvoga svjetskoga rata, raspadu Austro-Ugarske Monarhije i talijanskoj okupaciji istočnojadranske obale, provedenoj odmah po završetku rata na temelju nepravednoga Londonskog ugovora iz 1915. godine. Zatim raspravlja o problemu razgraničenja s Kraljevinom Italijom na moru, odnosno rješavanju Jadranskoga pitanja, Mirovnoj konferenciji u Parizu, Rapallskom ugovoru iz godine 1920. i njegovim pogubnim posljedicama za Zadar i okolicu. Posebice raspravlja o gradu Zadru i njegovu užem području (57 km² i 16 000 stanovnika) koje je, na temelju Rapallskog ugovora, otrgnuto od matice zemlje Hrvatske i priključeno Italiji. Autor na kraju donosi dvije karte spornoga razgraničenja te, u prilogu, prijepis Rapallskoga ugovora i popis važnijih izvora i literature.The author summarises the situation in Zadar and Dalmatia during and immediately after World War One, the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy and the Italian occupation of the eastern Adriatic coast, which took place immediately after the end of World War One and on the basis of the unjust Treaty of London of 1915. Further, the author discusses the issue of the sea boundary determination with the Kingdom of Italy or rather, the solution of the Adriatic problem; the Peace Conference in Paris; the Treaty of Rapallo of 1920 and the fatal consequences it had for Zadar and its surroundings. There follows a discussion on the issue of the city and the immediate surroundings of Zadar (area: 57 km²; population: 16 000), which had, pursuant to the Treaty of Rapallo, been taken by force from its parent country Croatia and annexed to Italy. The paper also includes two maps of the disputable boundary determination, and, as annex, the text of the Treaty of Rapallo and a list of major sources and literature
