Summary

After the signing of the German Treaty, interest in the Peace Conference in international public opinion began to wane, and many governments shifted focus to post-war economic and social needs and demobilisation problems. But not in Italy. The newly appointed Prime Minister was Nitti, who chose Tittoni as Foreign Minister. They had to cope with an increasingly desperate domestic situation. The United States was holding up a badly needed credit of $25 million and increasing discontent in the Italian peasantry – largely caused by unfulfilled promises of land re-distribution – threatened the very institutional structures of the nation.
