=== South Tyrol ===
In [[Italy]], [[South Tyrol|South Tyrol/Alto Adige]] was [[Italianization of South Tyrol|annexed]] after the [[World War I|First World War]]. The German-speaking inhabitants of South Tyrol are protected by the [[Gruber–De Gasperi Agreement|Gruber-De Gasperi Agreement]], but there are still supporters of the self determination of South Tyrol, e.g. the party [[Die Freiheitlichen]] and the [[South Tyrolean independence movement]]. At the end of WWII, Italian resistance troops entered South Tyrol and took over the administration against the wishes of the South Tyrolean resistance movement.<ref name="Groge2012">{{cite book |last1=Grote |first1=Georg |title=The South Tyrol question, 1866-2010 : from national rage to regional state |date=2012 |publisher=Peter Lang |location=Oxford |isbn=978-3-0353-0303-2 |page=71 |url=https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/handle/20.500.12657/48510/9783035303032.pdf |access-date=2021-07-25}}</ref> The Allies subsequently granted South Tyrol to Italy, with the British foreign minister remarking that "in theory the Austrians have the better argument, however handing over the power stations of South Tyrol to them could openly give the Russians a helping hand with which they could pressurise Italy".<ref name="Groge2012"/> The Allies pushed Italy to grant the region a high degree of autonomy, culminating in the [[Gruber–De Gasperi Agreement]] of 1946.
