!!!Irredentismus

Irredentism, political movement formed around 1877 in Italy, which 
advocated the union with Italy of all Italian-speaking territories of 
the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy ("terre irredente" = the unredeemed 
lands: especially Trentino, Istria, Trieste, the coast of Dalmatia). 
From 1900 irredentism gained great influence on public opinion in 
Italy, won many supporters in Austria, enforced an anti-Austrian 
policy, and in 1915 succeeded in making the Italian government enter 
World War I.
