Rijeka

Industrial port in Croatia; population (1991 est) 168,000. Industries include oil-refining, distilling, and the manufacture of paper, tobacco, and chemicals. It has changed hands many times and, after being seized by the Italian nationalist Gabriele D'Annunzio in 1919, was annexed by Italy in 1924. It was ceded back to Yugoslavia in 1949, and in 1991 it became part of newly independent Croatia.
