If the first rumours about the British promise with respect to "Zadar, Reka, Istria and Trieste as far as the Soča river" appeared at the time of "Meditteranean agreements" - when Great Britain with its allies still disposed of sufficient military power to restrain Fascist aggression - the power constellation of early 1941, when the Kingdom of Yugoslavia actually received a rather generically formulated British territorial offer, was of course completely changed. The Axis was then at the climax of its power, while Great Britain had been not only expelled from the continent but was also forced into a struggle for its own survival. Although the British territorial offer to the Yugoslav government reopened the entire complex of the "Adriatic question", its specific weight was therefore too small to exert a stronger impact upon the further course of eventsPrispevek skozi prizmo krize liberalnih režimov in vzpona evropske fašistične konstelacije obravnava vprašanje britanskih ozemeljskih zagotovil Jugoslaviji od prvih govoric sredi tridesetih let - torej iz časa vojne v Abesiniji in neuspešnih sankcij ženevskega Društva narodov proti fašistični Italiji - pa dodejanske ponudbe Velike Britanije, podane spomladi 1941 z namenom, da z njo prepreči jugoslovanski pristop k Trojnemu paktu. Če so se prve govorice o britanski obljubi "Zadra, Reke, Istre in Trsta vse do Soče" pojavile v času sklepanja "mediteranskih sporazumov", ko je Velika Britanija s svojimi zavezniki še razpolagala z vojaško močjo, ki bi zadostovala za zajezitev fašistične agresije, je bila konstelacija moči v času, ko je Kraljevina Jugoslavija dejansko prejela dokaj generično formulirano britansko ozemeljsko ponudbo, povsem spremenjena; sile Osi so bile tedaj na vrhuncu moči, Velika Britanija pa ne le izrinjena s kontinenta, temveč prisiljena v boj za lastno preživetje. Kljub temu, da je bil torej z britansko ozemeljsko oferto jugoslovanski vladi v resnici na novo odprt celoten kompleks jadranskega vprašanja, je bila njena specifična teža premajhna, da bi lahko pomembneje vplivala na nadaljnji potek dogodkovTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaInštitut za narodnostna vprašanja
