Trianon100 researcher Balázs Juhász, who also teaches history at Eötvös University in Budapest, has compiled a selection of Italian diplomatic documents, most of them available in print for the first time. The book titled Trianon and Italian Diplomacy (Trianon és az olasz diplomácia) follows in the footsteps of the first volume of diplomatic sources, edited by Miklós Zeidler, and offers a glance into the perturbances of building the peace through the eyes of the youngest and weakest European Great Power, grappling with the difficulties of being part of the club, but only just. The Italian agenda, focussed on the Adriatic and the broader Mediterranean area offered some hope to Hungarian decisions-makers that a disinterested party could promote the “just” causes of the defeated nation. The volume demonstrates that they were correct in the assumption regarding the lack of interest, but overlooked that Italians would be keener on engaging in tit for tat bargaining than in norm promotion.
