The Free territory of Trieste
Due to American pressure and lack of support from Stalin, Tito was forced to withdraw Yugoslavian military forces from Trieste in the summer of 1945. However in 1946 a confrontation between Yugoslavia and the United States began, two American planes being shot down. Yet lack of support from Stalin again forces Tito to back down. The Free Territory of Trieste is created, a biography of American military Governor Alfred Bowman. In 1954 Trieste is handed over to Italy.
