| Spatial Coverage | Italy--Trieste Europe |
| Description | Cartoon shows a shabby old woman (labeled "Europe") leaning on her cane, gazing in dismay at a lighted candle stuck in a barrel labeled "Balkan Powder Keg." At the end of World War II, both Italy and Yugoslavia claimed the port city of Trieste. In what was perhaps the first military offensive of the Cold War, Tito and his partisans invaded the area in March 1945. A peace treaty in 1947 established Trieste and the surrounding area as a Free Territory, but it was eventually divided between Yugoslavia and Italy. Duffy expresses the concern that the controversy might launch a new conflict in a Europe exhausted from six years of war. |
