The Agreements of Santa Margherita, Italy and Yu

Name: The Agreements of Santa Margherita, Italy and Yugoslavia
Author: Benito Mussolini

This document was a treaty signed on April 7, 1939, between Italy and Yugoslavia. It established an alliance between the two countries, with Italy providing military support to Yugoslavia in case of an attack by another country. The agreement also included provisions for economic cooperation and mutual defense. The treaty was seen as a way for Mussolini to expand Italian influence in the region and counterbalance the growing power of Germany. However, it ultimately proved to be ineffective in preventing Italy's invasion of Albania in 1939, which led to Yugoslavia declaring war on Italy. The agreement also included provisions for the protection of minority groups within both countries, including Italians living in Yugoslavia and Yugoslavs living in Italy.

The Prime Minister. Honourable Members,-With the approval of the Agreements of Santa Margherita, there came to an end what might be called "the Foreign Policy week" of the Italian Government; a week that might also be called pacific, since it began with the ratification of the Convention of Washington, which represents a pause in the great naval armament, and ends with the approval of the Agreements of Santa Margherita, which are the consequence of the Treaty of Rapallo already ratified and partly carried out.
