The Julian March (Italian Venezia Giulia, Slovene Julijska krajina) refers to an area nestled between Italy, Slovenia, and Croatia. It is the subject of contemporary historical and anthropological inquiry, due to the events of the first half of the 20th century.
In 1922, most of it was ceded by Yugoslavia to Italy. After World War II, however, most of it became part of Yugoslavia, and more than 200,000 ethnic Italians were displaced from the region.
In 1946 President Truman ordered the augmentation of US troops along the zonal occupation line and the reinforcement of air forces in northern Italy after Yugoslav forces shot down an unarmed US Army transport plane flying over Venezia Giulia.
