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 Balkan peninsula and the Southeastern Europe are in no way synonyms - the Balkan peninsula is a colloquial historical term for countries that were once dominions of the Ottoman Empire (until its eventual and gradual collapse in the second half of the 19. century). Thus, the Balkans is not merely a geographical term (with very loosely, if at all defined borders), but above all a cultural term that does indeed share some similarities with the definition of the Balkan peninsula. It is thereby unacceptable to reject differentiation between the SE Europe and the Balkans the way you have, and further so to establish Slovenia's location be part of the aforementioned entity solely based on the misunderstanding of the latter. At this point, it is paramount to touch upon the fact that the European Union considers in its definition the countries of the Western Balkans (the only definition of the Balkans provided in the international law) to be Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Republic of North Macedonia, Kosovo, Montenegro and Serbia for the purposes related to identification of the candidates for the ascension to the Union . Slovenia was never considered to be part of the South East due to its strong cultural ties to the north, the fact mirrored in the International Geographic Union definition of the country as an entity exclusively within the boundaries of Central Europe (as defined at the 1994 Congress held in Prague). That is reinforced by the definition provided by the CIA World Factbook . It is thereby irresponsible to single-handedly alter an established definition by counterparting it with one comprising the broadest existent term of the Southeastern Europe that entirely disregards the historic specifics of Slovenia, as well as directly contradicts major international standards and definitions that have seen unanimous application since the collapse of Yugoslavia (that aberrated the set definitions of the country's position within Europe for the period of forty-six years between 1945 and 1991 based upon the allegiance to the socialist federation of states formerly enthralled to the Ottoman Empire - see the initial claim on the top). The definition you provided (Encyclopedia Britannica) is for that reason unsuitable, largely due to its own uncertainty over the definition - it provides no clear boundaries of the region itself, resorting to approximations and allegations of too abstract a nature to provide any concrete determination (even contradicting itself several times, exempli gratia the uncertainty over the definition of Southeastern Europe and the Western Balkans - the latter deriving from the legal basis of the European Union above). It is for that same reason of uncertainty that I deem it inappropriate to regard Slovenia as a part of SE Europe as the region is, as stems from the sources above, too grossly undefined to serve as a criterium for the country's geographical position that was defined with far greater certainty by several other sources (also provided above) which contradict its placement in the South East (and even wholly neglect it), instead placing it solely in Central Europe. --] (]) 21:29, 23 November 2019 (UTC) |

::The real reason in Slovenia to dispute that part of its territory falls geographically on the Balkans is political and cultural. It is a Slovenian complex and striving not to be identified with the Balkans but with Central Europe. However Misplaced Pages is a place for scientific knowledge. This issue is described well in the book by D. Norris "In the Wake of the Balkan Myth: Questions of Identity and Modernity", publisher: Springer, 1999; ISBN 0230286534, on p. as follows: ''Geographically speaking, the River Sava, one of the acknowledged markers of the northern limit of the Balkans, flows by the northern edge of Slovenia's capital city Ljubljana. However, there exists a Slovenian mental map of former Yugoslavia in which they were in the north, and everyone in the south is in the Balkans.'' That is the real issue, not the geography. ] (]) 04:23, 24 November 2019 (UTC) |
