Italian soldiers’ 1920 antiwar mutiny at Ancona forced Albanian independence recognition

Evidence

Later, in June 1920, Italian soldiers and workers in the city of Ancona took control of the military barracks and refused to depart for Albania, which was then under Italian occupation (see L’Avanti, June 30, 1920). Th is action precipitated solidarity strikes and popular uprisings throughout Italy, where the people opposed arms production and called for repatriation of all Italian soldiers. Th e movement ultimately contributed to the full recognition of Albanian independence and the cessation of deployment of Italian soldiers. — Clara E. Mattei, The Capital Order, 373
