Abstract
The present research projects is focused on the study of economic, political, cultural and social conditions in Trieste in the period from the March Revolution in 1848 to this day. The emphasis is on the internal dynamics experienced by the Slovenes in ethnically and ideologically exposed territory as well as on their interaction with the Italian reality in every sphere of public life. Among the Trieste Slovenes, the March Revolution conditioned the rise of the national and political thought, which was in the ensuing decades additionally developed by the so-called Edinost (Concord) Society. Towards the end of the 19th century the political structure of the Slovene reality in Trieste was additionally enriched by the establishment of the powerful Social Democratic Party, which at the same time conditioned the events after the First and Second World Wars. Namely, one of the characteristic of the Slovene organised life in this area was a strong ideological branching out, which of course exerted a strong influence, and still does, on the relationships with the majority Italian population and with the parent country (from 1991 with Yugoslavia, and later with Slovenia). In spite of this, and in spite of the great pressure, to which the Slovenes were exposed at the time of fascism as well as after the Second World War, the Trieste Slovenes have shown some great organisational capabilities and have affirmed themselves as one of the most lively ethnic groups in Europe.
