Dalmatia was a multicultural region that had traditionally been politically and economically dominated by its Italian minority. In \u003cem\u003eThe Italians of Dalmatia\u003c\/em\u003e, Luciano Monzali argues that the vast majority of local Italians were loyal to and supportive of Habsburg rule, desiring only a larger degree of local autonomy. An Italian national consciousness developed only in response to pressure from Slavic national movements and was facilitated by the emergence of a large, unified, and independent Italian state.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUsing little-known Italian, Austrian, and Dalmatian sources, Monzali explores the political history of Dalmatia between 1848 and 1915, with a focus on the Italian minority, on Austrian-Italian relations and on the foreign policy of the Italian state towards the region and its peoples.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52545915289880,"sku":"9780802096210","price":36.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-italians-of-dalmatia-from-italian-unification-to-world-war-i-paperback-softback-9780802096210","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
