  Irredentism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not all potential irredentas are involved in actual irredentism.
The word was coined in Italy from the phrase Italia irredenta ("unredeemed Italy").
In this view, irredenta conflict is a conflict between three parties: a nationalizing state, a national movement representing an ethnic minority within that state, and an external national homeland, to which that minority is construed as ethnically belonging.

 Irredentists - LoveToKnow 1911
The name was formed from the words Italia Irredenta - Un- redeemed Italy - and the party had for its avowed object the emancipation of all Italian lands still subject to foreign rule.
The Irredentists took language as the test of the alleged Italian nationality of the countries they proposed to emancipate, which were South Tirol (Trentino), Gorz, Istria, Trieste, Tessino, Nice, Corsica and Malta.
The Italians had hoped to share in the plunder of Turkey, but they gained nothing, while Austria was endowed with the protectorate of Bosnia, and the Herzegovina, the vitally important hinterland of her possessions on the Adriatic.

IRREDENTISM [irredentism], originally, the Italian nationalist movement for the annexation to Italy of territories— Italia irredenta [unredeemed Italy]—inhabited by an Italian majority but retained by Austria after 1866.
The liberation of Italia irredenta was perhaps the strongest motive for the entry of Italy into World War I. The Treaty of Versailles (1919) satisfied most of the irredentist claims.
The term irredentism has, by extension, been applied to nationalist agitation in other countries, based on historical, ethnic, and geographical reasons, for the incorporation of territories under foreign rule.

While most other examinations of the relationship between territorial integrity and self-determination debate the issue of secession, this essay takes an external perspective -- that is, whether the principle of self-determination allows for the subordination of territorial integrity to the goals of national-states.
It is possible to distinguish between three types of irredenta: state-state, decolonization, and state collapse.
This tripartite division of irredentist cases reflects the distinction made within international law and the practice of third-party states toward irredentist conflicts.

 From Irish Political Review - March 2006
Jack Lynch, while claiming the Six Counties as the irredenta of his State, did not launch a war to regain them.
The War originated within the irredenta, being produced by systematic misgovernment of the irredenta by the State which held it.
But the population of the Italian irredenta (Trentino and Tyrol) was not predominantly German speaking, and yet it participated in the politics of the Austrian State.

 Kingdom Of Italy
After the outbreak of World War I in 1914, Italy remained neutral for almost a year while the government negotiated with both sides.
In 1915, Italy finally joined the Allies, after having been promised territories that it regarded as "Italia irredenta" (un-liberated Italy).
The country was unprepared for a major war, however; aside from a few victories in 1918, Italy suffered serious losses of men, material, and morale.

My own original conception regarding the partitioning of Germany has undergone considerable change during the past several years due, perhaps, to taking a longer view of the future, and probaly because at home I, with Sumner Welles, were almost alone in insisting upon a three-region partition of Germany.
Fear of creating Irredenta in furture was the moving impluse behind the opposing arguments.
Then too, the idea seems in the final analysis to be in opposition to the second project discussed, i.e., a Federal Union of European States.

Moreover, all except the two first-mentioned peoples are allied to Russia by ties of race as well as by religion, since they are members of the Slavonic stock.
To the average Russian, therefore, the bulk of the Balkan peninsula is as much Russia Irredenta, as the north-east coast of the Adriatic is Italia Irredenta to the average Italian; and as a matter of fact there is a good deal more to be said for Russia’s case than for Italy’s.
There is, however, another great power which possesses interests in the Balkans and which is viewed by Russia with a suspicion and dislike hardly inferior to that entertained towards Turkey—­I mean the empire of Austria-Hungary.

They gaze at their terra irredenta, historic Armenia which lies almost entirely within the borders of the republic of Turkey, and which is dotted with the ruins of monuments bearing witness to the high culture of Armenian kingdoms before the Turkish con-quest from the eleventh century onward.
One-fifth of the territory of the neighbouring republic of Azerbaijan, which the Armenians have occupied, lies largely empty after the flight of close on one million of its Azeri inhabitants.
There are not enough Armenians to hold on to recent conquests, let alone to people their terra irredenta in Turkey.

Other territories on the East Coast of the Adriatic that had either substantial or predominate Italian populations, that were NOT relinquished, were called the "irredenta" territories, and were a very sore spot for the Italians, and included Trieste, the Istria Peninsula, Fiume (Rijeka), Dalmatia, etc
Even though Italy was an Enemy of the Allies only from June 10, 1940 to September 1943, and became a Co-Belligerent of the Allies from then, until the end of the War in Europe on May 7, 1945, the "irredenta" territories were given to Yugoslavia.
So now there were numerous Italians in those "irredenta" territories, and a great number in Croatia and Slovenia, that were caught in the middle of the incendiary mix of Croatians, Serbians, Muslims, and their long simmering animosity, that fostered severe tribalism, and a Communist government, that fostered aggression against Italians.

n : the doctrine that irredenta [regions that are related ethnically or historically to one country but are controlled politically by another] should be controlled by the country to which they are ethnically or historically related
this part i'm not so clear on, but it occurs to me that irredenta may not be considered in need of saving through war if it was clear that the people had the means to choose their own government.

This and Kenya's relative peace have caused an influx into Kenya every time there is trouble in Somalia.
Thank goodness, Somalia no longer pursues the misguided Somalia Irredenta policy, which, as it tried to annex those parts of Kenya and Ethiopia inhabited by ethnic Somalis, once led it to ruinous international wars.
But what appeared like national stabilisation in the eighties turned out to be a time of gross central government injustices, leading to deepening gentile rivalries and exploding into a veritable Hobbesian war which totally dismembered the state.

If the only venue for German frustration is killing of Jews, then Goldhagen and Weiss must be right.
Interestingly, in a recent article in the Atlantic Monthly, Hans Konig, writing about German Irredenta, mentions the imperial dreams of Germans during both wars in the context of present demands of Sudeten Germans to return to their pre-war homes.
Wistrich thinks that that Goldhagen is wrong (though not intentionally) in his emphasis on ordinary police battalions and on cruelty of 'willing executioners.' This emphasis, according to Wistrich, de-emphasizes the fact the most of the killings were done by the state machinery.
