Area / "some villages" (?!)

[edit]

Hello, it is truly interesting that the word "annexed" is used here in reference to the Hungarian, German or Italian occupations, whereas for the Croatian occupation the term "incorporated" is used. I understand that this might be a coincidence. But even more interesting is the use of the term "area" regarding the first three occupiers, while "some villages" is used for Croatia. This cannot be a coincidence, given that, for instance, the territory seized by Hungary is four times smaller than those "some villages" occupied by Croatia.~~Me ~2026-51535-61 (talk) 09:56, 24 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

This is apparently some sort of a talking point. World War II in the Slovene Lands lists five villages and doesn't explain much other than this is some sort of a recent discovery. --Joy (talk) 10:22, 24 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
The relevant difference seems to be that already-existing states (Germany, Italy, Hungary) expanded their previous territory through annexation, whereas the Independent State of Croatia was a newly defined state that also included some of that territory.

Yeah, but you're actually making sense of it :D The point here seems to be that File:Provincia di Lubiana1941-1943.jpg has a caption in this article that talks about this topic, but the map doesn't actually illustrate it, so we're falling for a talking point it seems. --Joy (talk) 14:46, 24 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
I see, you're right. The area is so small that it would be difficult to illustrate on the map. I've modified the caption (adding "not marked") to clarify that the detail is missing. Doremo (talk) 15:53, 24 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
