Under the [[Treaty of Peace with Italy, 1947]], [[Istria]], [[Kvarner Gulf|Kvarner]], most of the [[Julian March]] as well as the [[Dalmatia]]n city of [[Zadar|Zara]] was annexed by [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia|Yugoslavia]] causing the [[Istrian-Dalmatian exodus]], which led to the emigration of between 230,000 and 350,000 of local ethnic [[Italians]] ([[Istrian Italians]] and [[Dalmatian Italians]]), the others being ethnic Slovenians, ethnic Croatians, and ethnic [[Istro-Romanians]], choosing to maintain Italian citizenship.<ref>{{cite web |first=Benedetta |last=Tobagi |url=http://www.treccani.it/scuola/lezioni/storia/la_repubblica_italiana.html |title=La Repubblica italiana &#124; Treccani, il portale del sapere |publisher=Treccani.it |access-date=28 January 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305001726/http://www.treccani.it/scuola/lezioni/storia/la_repubblica_italiana.html |archive-date=5 March 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The Istrian-Dalmatian exodus started in 1943 and ended completely only in 1960. According to the census organized in [[Croatia]] in 2001 and that organized in [[Slovenia]] in 2002, the Italians who remained in the former [[Yugoslavia]] amounted to 21,894 people (2,258 in Slovenia and 19,636 in Croatia).<ref name="dzs">{{Croatian Census 2001 |url=http://web.dzs.hr/Eng/censuses/Census2001/Popis/E01_02_02/E01_02_02.html |title=12.

After World War II, [[Italian irredentism]] disappeared along with the defeated Fascists and the Monarchy of the [[House of Savoy]]. After the Treaty of Paris (1947) and the [[Treaty of Osimo]] (1975), all territorial claims were abandoned by the [[Italian Republic]] (see [[Foreign relations of Italy]]).<ref>{{cite web |title=L'Italia per De Gaulle: "Non un paese povero, ma un povero paese" |date=8 June 2012 |url=https://www.linkiesta.it/2012/06/litalia-per-de-gaulle-non-un-paese-povero-ma-un-povero-paese/ |access-date=9 September 2023 |language=it}}</ref> The Italian irredentist movement thus vanished from Italian politics. The 1947 [[Constitution of Italy]] established five autonomous regions ([[Sardinia]], [[Friuli-Venezia Giulia]], [[Sicily]], [[Aosta Valley]], and [[Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol]]), in recognition of their cultural and linguistic distinctiveness.
