This paper deals with the migratory flows that happened in the Venezia Giulia region 1914-1919, & it deals also with the function these flows had in the ethnic homogenization of the territory. This ...phenomenon has been rather neglected by the Italian historiography, whereas the attention of Slovenian & Croatian studies has concentrated on the Italianization carried out under fascism. By a comparative analysis of the most recent literary works, of archive material, & of statistical data of the Italian, Slovenian, & Croatian literature, this article attempts to trace an overview of the most important events & measures that brought the ethnic metamorphosis of the Venezia Giulia region during & after WWI. It appears that, even if at an early stage, the planning of the "ethnic clearance" of the Venezia Giulia region started long before fascism, or rather the very moment Italy took possession of the new territories. 36 References.

After the annexation of Primorska to Italy, a large-scale emigration began by the Slovenes & Croats, especially to Yugoslavia. The present study attempts to clarify the profile of the Primorska ...refugee on the basis of the documents from the 'Office for the Occupied Territory,' the organization helping the refugees in Yugoslavia. The analyzed pattern encloses some 500 refugees, for which we took into account, wherever possible, their age, sex, place of birth, place of residence before they left, place of residence in Yugoslavia after their exodus, profession prior to their emigration to Yugoslavia & after it, how they left (either as individuals or with families), & the reasons for leaving their places of residence in the Giulia region. 9 References.
