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. Just across Otranto strait
! from Brindisi.?Yorkville Enquirer.
