Italian War Crimes during Italian Fascist Occupation of Slovenia 1941-1943 and the change of British policy towards their persecution due to the possibility of Italian communists winning the 1946 general election
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), 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).

Slovenia in "Central, Eastern & Southeast Europe"
Regarding the unexplained anonymous edit made on Thursday - I fail to understand the basis for it. Slovenia is a country geographically, politically and culturally a part of Central Europe. There is an ongoing (and longlasting) dispute about whether or not it lies partly in the Balkans, but given the fact the Balkans has no exact geographical boundaries, it is only alternatively (even the main articles on Central and South Eastern Europe claim so) placed in South Eastern Europe (and under no conditions in Eastern Europe), with a majority of scholars giving it a benefit of doubt and placing the country exclusively in Central Europe both because of the Alps as well as its shared history with the rest of Central Europe via the Habsburg Empire. I would love to hear the explanation from the editor himself (and yes, I did read the previous discussion on this topic - I believe Oksfjord made a pretty good point there explaining it). Should there be no further explanation from the editor, I plan to revert to the previous version regarding the placement of Slovenia in Europe (i.e. to Central Europe exclusively). 93.103.162.81 (talk) 10:24, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
- Please don't ignore the previous discussion on this in the archives Slovenia and the Balkans, and establish consensus before any change. Thank You.(KIENGIR (talk) 01:41, 19 October 2020 (UTC))
