Treaty of London
The Treaty of London, signed in April 1915 during World War I, was an agreement between Italy and the Allied Powers (mainly France, Britain, and Russia). Italy joined the war on the side of the Allies in exchange for territorial gains, including parts of Austria-Hungary and land in the Adriatic Sea. The treaty aimed to strengthen the Allies by bringing in Italy, which sought to expand its territory and influence. However, the anticipated benefits for Italy were not fully realized, leading to feelings of betrayal after the war, which contributed to political unrest in the country.
