Italian Irredentism In Istria
The Italian irredentism in Istria was the political movement supporting the unification to Italy, during the 19th and 20th centuries, of the peninsula of Istria. It is considered closely related to the Italian irredentism in Trieste and Rijeka (Fiume), two cities bordering the peninsula. History Istria was a part of the Roman Empire from 177 BC until the arrival of the Goths, who eventually occupied it. Around the beginning of the 7th century, Slavic incursions began happening around Istria and by the middle of the century, they began to settle in the region. The area came under Venetian rule around the 13th century and remained under it until the fall of the Republic of Venice to Napoleon in 1797. Istria was then aggregated to the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy in 1805, and annexed to the Illyrian Provinces in 1809.
