EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Aerial Boundaries of the Free State of Fiume and Susak, Rijeka, Croatia (circa 1922) 2. Description: This aerial photograph captures the borderline between the Free State of Fiume and the district of Susak, located in the coastal city of Rijeka, Croatia. The Free State of Fiume was an independent microstate that emerged in the aftermath of World War I, existing between 1920 and 1924. Its territory encompassed the city of Fiume (now Rijeka) and the rural areas to its north, with a narrow corridor to the west connecting it to Italy. 3. Context: The Free State of Fiume was established following the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, with the city of Fiume being a major port on the Adriatic Sea and a strategic location due to its proximity to Italy. The Free State's independence was recognized by several European powers, including Italy and France, but not by the newly formed Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (later Yugoslavia). 4. Composition: The photograph offers a bird's-eye view of the border, revealing the intricate pattern of the coastal landscape and the division of territories. The crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea, dotted with small islands and islets, contrast sharply with the lush greenery of the land. The harbor and port of Rijeka, a vital economic hub, can be seen in the upper right corner of the image. 5. Historical Significance: The Free State of Fiume was a unique and short-lived political entity that showcased the complexities of the post-World War I European landscape. This aerial photograph serves as a testament to the historical significance of the region and the intricate web of political alliances and territorial claims that shaped Europe during this period. 6. Technical Details: Date: circa 1922 | Format: Aerial | Location: Rijeka, Croatia | Subject: Free State of Fiume, Susak, Border, Coast, Adriatic Sea | Rights Managed.
