PCI's Historical Compromise

The PCI Historical Compromise refers to an agreement in Italy during the post-World War II period, particularly in the 1970s, between the Italian Communist Party (PCI) and the Christian Democrats. This compromise aimed to stabilize the country by integrating the PCI into mainstream politics, promoting social reforms while preventing extreme leftist or rightist movements. It represented a shift towards collaboration between political parties, fostering stability and economic growth during a time of political turmoil in Italy. Essentially, it balanced ideological differences to achieve governance and social progress.
