in particular, italian nationalists were enraged by the allies denying italy the right to annex fiume, that had a slight majority italian population but was not included in italy's demands agreed with the allies in 1915, and a larger part of dalmatia which had a vast majority slavic population and an italian minority, claiming that italian annexation of large part of dalmatia would violate woodrow wilson's fourteen points. d'annunzio responded to this by mobilizing two thousand veterans of the war who seized fiume by force; this action was met with international condemnation of d'annunzio's actions but was supported by a majority of italians. though d'annunzio's government in fiume was forced from power, italy annexed fiume a few years later.
