Foreign Office (i.e. British civil authority, but not the military) policy was indeed '''initially''', as you say, in favor of 'hand-over' of the Italian war criminals, but the British and American '''military authorities''' in Italy were against it (p.520)<ref name="Pedaliu_JContHistory">] (2004) . Journal of Contemporary History. Vol. 39, No. 4, Special Issue: Collective Memory, pp. 503-529 (JStor.org full article)</ref>, but the Foreign Office changed its policy (ibid., p.523), too, when in 1946 the possibility was that '''Italian communists''' would win the Italian general election, which would open Italy to Soviet influence, so they decided to drop the case and let Italy do the job (ibid., p.526) resulting in the (highly indicative) fate of Graziani and Roatta (ibid., p.525). The British '''concern to secure''' the electoral victory of the '''Christian Democrats''' "prompted Britain to '''drop all of its war crimes claims against Italy'''" (ibid., p.527).

The clearest maps in thus article are one from the grim years of WWII and another of the climate zones with temperature charts included. The map of statistical regions is good but by design it lacks city names. I think it would improve the article to have a map showing major cities (especially Ljubljana) and showing enough of the neighboring nations to place it in Europe. I have seen such a map in the past, but cannot find it online now.


The map in the info box serves mainly to show it is a small nation. Reading that map, it pays to know that already, to find the dark green bit that is Slovenia.
The word for "center" is literally the same in Slovenian, so don't correct any official nouns from government ministries with "Center" in it (they use same word in English/Slovenian translations). Ex: Ministry of Science's "Science Center Ljubljana" http://www.sadarvuga.com/project/the-center-of-science-ljubljana/ Ministry of Finance's "Center of Excellence in Finance" https://www.cef-see.org/about-us DataCenter Ljubjana https://datacenter.si/#locations <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 19:06, 29 January 2021 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

A better map?

The clearest maps in thus article are one from the grim years of WWII and another of the climate zones with temperature charts included. The map of statistical regions is good but by design it lacks city names. I think it would improve the article to have a map showing major cities (especially Ljubljana) and showing enough of the neighboring nations to place it in Europe. I have seen such a map in the past, but cannot find it online now.

The map in the info box serves mainly to show it is a small nation. Reading that map, it pays to know that already, to find the dark green bit that is Slovenia.

Overall, this is an excellent article on a nation with a thriving present and a long and fascinating past. - - Prairieplant (talk) 18:53, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
