Abstract

The policy of US President Woodrow Wilson at the Paris Peace Conference and his uncompromising attitude in regard to the Adriatic question is a topic that still interests researchers. The paper aims to shed light on the US public opinion about the Adriatic question and conclusion of the final Treaty of Rapallo (1920) between Italy and the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. The paper relies on the most prominent US newspapers with the highest circulation and progressive magazines of the time, archival records and contemporary literature. A particular focus is placed on the evolution of views of the US press about the conflict between Italy and the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes concerning disputable territories in Dalmatia, and about the participation of the US peace delegation and President Wilson in the negotiations and definitive resolution of the Adriatic question.
