Treaty of peace with Italy (1947)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Treaty of peace with Italy is a treaty signed in Paris on February 10, 1947 between Italy and the victorious powers of World War II, formally ending the hostilities.
The provisions of the treaty included:
- transfer of the Adriatic islands of Cherso, Lussino, Lagosta and Pelagosa, of Istria south of river Quieto, of the city of Fiume and what is now western Slovenia (west of the black Sea - Adriatic watershed) to Yugoslavia
- transfer of Dodecanese islands to Greece
- transfer to France of Briga and Tenda, and minor revisions of the Franco-Italian border
- recognition of independence of Albania and transfer to Albania of the island of Saseno
- renouncement of claims to colonies
- cancellation of favourable commercial treaties with China
Trieste and surrounding area were incorporated into a new independent state called the Free Territory of Trieste, which was later divided between Yugoslavia and Italy in 1954.
A subsequent annex to the treaty provided for cultural autonomy of the German minority in South Tyrol.
