Why did Italy care so much about Dalmatia in WW1...

why did Italy care so much about Dalmatia in WW1? It doesn't seem as strategic as Trieste or Trentino and it didn't have many italians in it

They wanted land??

I simply don't get why Italy was so butthurt after WW1, they got Trentino, Istria and even Fiume and gained supremacy over the Adriatic

Why??? Even back then, it had no great value, especially if its full of resentful foreigners.

MUH VENETIAN CLAY!!!

Basically this. The disgusting subhuman "Italians" (aka: niggers) annexed Glorious Veneto and then claimed all Venetian achievements as their own. This is how niggers always operate, and is known in academia as the "WE WUZ" fallacy, or "being a dirty fucking nigger".

Well, there was always a big political struggle about whether Italy should even fight at all, yet alone picking a side, in addition Mussolini promised that he would violently crack down on Socialists, who many were worried would take over, Italians weren't exactly thrilled about the war, so when they didn't get everything they fought for they were very miffed.

Because Italians wanted it all, which they were promised but in the end were given little to nothing. A poet-warrior sailed to Fiume and caused an international incident. They continued larping as strongmen demanding all Venetian clay.

They were promised Dalmatia, Albania, a middle eastern colony and one of Germany's former colonies for joining the allies and didn't get it

It woulda looked pretty fuckin aesthetic.

>Venetians and Friulans
>Not Italian

Nice bait user.

Venetians are italianized Slavs.

>Italianized Slavs

They are. Veneti = Wenden

>This is what the Slovenian actually believes

>veneti
named given to a couple of people, the ones in venice were not slavs

Yes they were.

>Accuses Italy of WE WUZZING
>Proceeds to WE WUZ

What's your proof user? Were the Veneti in Brittany also Slavs?

The average northeastern "Italian" is very much Slavic.

you're trolling

>May have been an ethnic Slovenian
>Small amounts of Slavs live in FVG

TRIVENETO SLAVIC CONFIRMED

>The original pre-Roman name of Trieste, Tergeste, with the -est- suffix typical of Illyrian, is speculated to be derived from a hypothetical Venetic word *terg- "market", etymologically related to Old Church Slavonic tьrgъ "market"

not gonna lie some Italians do look very slavic

Holy SHIT! I was about to post that while the Veneti thing is clever, pretty much all Slavs before the 5th or 6th century lived far north of the Danube. Looks like I might have been wrong.

UNLESS Slavic trg is a loanword from Illyrian? Old Church Slavonic was pretty much only for/from south Slavs, so it's pretty conceivable that they began by trading with the Illyrians, took trg and a bunch of other loanwords from them, then began ruling their shit, fugging their women, and imposing their language.

>2/3
>little to nothing

dumb fucks need not apply. dalmazia was rightful venetian land for centuries, we have more claims on it than any balkan slavic shithole

>a couple
Try a couple dozen. There are tribes named after the PIE root *wen- through the whole range of indoeuropean expansion.
