Operation AXIOM: Between the Wars—The Fiume Endeavor, Part III
12 November-30 December 1920: The Free State of Fiume—The Kingdom of Italy & the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, & Slovenes signed the Treaty of Rapallo (12 November), establishing Fiume as an independent state; the Italian Regency of Carnaro rejected the treaty & declared war on Italy; over "Bloody Christmas" (24-30 December) the Italian Army expelled D'Annunzio's legionaries from Fiume.
Lest we forget.
