The Explorers' Club, № DCLXXXIV

Operation AXIOM: After the World War—The Paris Peace Conference, Part IV
26 April 1919: The Italians walked out of the Peace Conference—The "Big Four" were at loggerheads over Britain & France's extravagant territorial promises to Italy in the 1915 Treaty of London (the only reason Italy had joined the Entente in the first place, & shed so many Italian soldiers' blood) & the United States' novel, vague, & inconsistently applied principle of national self-determination.




Lest we forget.

Commentary: The secret London Pact, signed on 26 April 1915, four years to the day before Italy walked out of the Parish Peace Conference: Wayback Machine "The Explorers' Club," № CDLVIII.
