historical-nonfiction:Did you know that Italy still has African territory under its control? I didn’t, I had thought all its possessions were re-possessed after World War II. But the Pelagie Islands, three islands covering eight square miles off the coast of northern Africa, are still part of Italy.Clarification: technically, the Pelagie Islands are considered part of the continent of Africa. That’s what surprised me about Italy owning them. Historically, the islands have been controlled by multiple African, Arab, and European kingdoms and countries. But if you ask a geographer they are African islands. -- source link
