the kingdom of italy divided the governorship in three italian provinces: "zara" (zadar), "spalato" (split) and "cattaro" (kotor), but never created officially an italian region with the name "dalmatia" (waiting for the future peace conference). while the governorship was not officially a region of italy, the northern dalmatian islands of krk ("veglia") and rab ("arbe") were administratively united to the italian province of fiume and became areas of the kingdom of italy.
