Integration of Primorska into the Homeland

**Integration of Primorska into the Homeland** is a national holiday in Slovenia, celebrated on **September 15**. This day commemorates the formal incorporation of the Primorska region into Slovenia after World War II. Primorska, which includes the coastal area and parts of western Slovenia, was historically under Italian control following the Treaty of Rapallo in 1920. After the war, the region was returned to Yugoslavia as part of the Paris Peace Treaties in 1947, and it officially became part of Slovenia, then a Yugoslav republic. The holiday symbolizes the reunification of Slovenian territories and the preservation of national identity. It is marked by cultural events, ceremonies, and reflections on Slovenia's history and unity. The day serves as a reminder of the struggles for independence and the importance of territorial integrity in shaping modern Slovenia.
