Treaty of peace with Italy (1947)

The Treaty of Peace with Italy is a treaty signed on February 10, 1947 between Italy and the victorious powers of the World War II, formally ending the hostilities.

The provisions of the treaty included:

the transfer of Adriatic islands, Istria south of river Mirna and what is now western Slovenia to Yugoslavia
transfer of Dodecanese islands to Greece
minor revisions of border with France
recognition of independence of Albania
renouncement of claims to colonies
cancellation of favourable commercial treaties with China

Trieste and surrounding area were incorporated into a new independent state called the Free Territory of Trieste, which was later divided between Yugoslavia and Italy in 1954.

A subsequent annex to the treaty provided for cultural autonomy of the German minority in South Tyrol.
