"After the war" being the key qualifiers here. The Fascists basically suppressed any language that was not Italian - which was odd for a Greek-majority place (with pretty significant Turkish and Sephardi minorities, I might add) like the Dodecanese. After the war, though, the Dodecanese is going to ask for enosis. If the Dodecanese does not get it, then the Dodecanese turns into a cluster-fuck. The Dodecanese is not Alto Adige/Südtirol or the Aosta Valley.
Fascists were bastards idiots that suppressed the freedom of Italian people and led the country to the ruin.
The new democratics principles would protected the Dodecanese peoples.
If Haway is part of United States why Dodecanese not can be,not part,but federated to Italy ("Regione a statuto speciale",with his Parliament) ?
We have the same ancestors,the same history,the same blood.
"Enosis" with motherland? and we are not Hellenics too??
Syracuse and Naples are greek as Athens.
But there would be pressure in the Dodecanese to conform to the dominant religion in Italy, which is the Roman Catholic Church, even without official discrimination, as part of an unofficial process of "Italianization" whose effects would still be felt - which is hard in a majority Greek Orthodox area. This would largely be the case from the 1940s to at least the end of Tangentopoli.
Post 1946,Absolutly not,this is not true,this is ASB.
And who had had make those "pressure"?
Catholic priests?
Well would suffice call the Carabinieri.
In Republic of Italy this is a crime.
P.S. italianization? why?
The Republic recognizes and protect the differences (is in the constitution);differences are wealth.
