THE BITTER ADRIATIC Has Long Been A Contested SeaFigured Much In History. "When we say the Mediterranean we naturally Include the Adriatic In which Italy's Interests are prominent," said Premier Mussolini In his Fascist anniversary speech In March?a speech soon followed by action. For, with troops In Albania, across the southern Adriatic from the Italian boot, Italy now controls the narrow entrance to that strategic sea. "A long arm of the Mediterranean between the east coast of Italy and the Balkan Peninsula, the Adriatic offers seaboard to three nations," points out a bulletin from the Washington, I). headquarters of the National Geographic Society. "They are Italy on the west and north; Yugoslavia and Albania lies the rugged isle-studded shore of Greece. Between the spur of the Italian boot and the nearest point of Albania the distance is only about forty-seven miles -or little more than that between Washington. I). C., and Ba'ltiniore, Maryland. Even at its widest the Adriatic Is less than lf>0 miles across. Yet ships must travel some .">00 miles north to reach Venice, Trieste and Flume at the Italian head I of the sea. Otlmr important seaports along the eastern coast of this slim, almost j land-locked body of water, are Sibe. i nik and Dttbronick (Ragusa) of Yu-' goslavia; and Durazzo, where the Albanians recently put up stiff resist- j a nee to the incoming Italians. Before the World war, four nations ? Italy. Austria-Hungary, Montenegro, and Albania?shared the shores of tho body of water which has been called the "bitter sea." After the war, there were the present three, with newlyformed Yugoslavia replacing AustriaHungary and Montenegro along most of the Adriatic's eastern littoral. This eastern coast, the rocky, indented Dalmatian region, shows on the map in striking contrast to Italy's smooth shore across the way. Sparsely settled, the mountainous Balkan coast has many deep water harbors, while the row and fertile land of the Italians 'with its teeming population, has hut few good harbors. I Yet it is the Italian port of Brindisi, on the Strait of Otmnto, that holds an Important key to the doorway to the Adriatic. And at tho northern head of the sea lie Trieste and Flume, Italy's valuable trade outlets for much , of south and central Europe. These ports were obtained by Italy as a result of the World war and early Fascist expansion. Venice, "Queen of the Adriatic," in her prime as a great seatrading power around the beginning of the fifteenth century, onco ruled most of the long eastern littoral. From time immemorial, the Adriatic sea has been the scene of conflicting Interests A thousand years before the rise of Vcjjioe, Rome called this water hers, crossing it to conquer the ancient kingdom of Illyria. The dreaded Dalmatian pirates for centuries harried the rich sea traffic that passed this way. In this "bitter" sea the city states of Italy fought naval bat'tles for supremacy. During the World war the Adriatic saw considerable sea action, including raids and counter-raids by Austrians, French. British and Italians. After Italy entered the war, the Allies were able to blockade Otranto channel, cutting off Austria's communications by sea with the outside world. This action bottled up Pola, the chief AustroHungarian naval station. The pre-war struggle between Austria-Hungary and Italy for control of the Adriatic gave way, after the .war to new conflicting interests of Italy and Yugoslavia. Center of the new 1 struggle was the port of Fiume, which was seized in 1919 b#s Fascists under the leadership of the Italian poet, D'Annunzio. The following year, how-., ever, it was made a free city, to be turned over to Italy four years later, with certain rights reserved to Yugoslavia. In the meantime, the question of the Adriatic was further complicated by Italian occupation of Albania, later abandoned but leaving its mark in Italian ownership of Saseno Island, off the coast of Valona in southern , Albania.
