Mare NostrumMare Nostrum (ˌmɑːrɪ_ˈnɒstrəm; Latin: "Our Sea") was a Roman name for the Mediterranean Sea. In Classical Latin, it would have been pronounced ˈma.rɛ ˈnɔs.t̪rʊ̃ː, and in Ecclesiastical Latin, it is pronounced ˈmaː.rɛ ˈnɔs.t̪rum.

The emigrants, who had lived in the now Yugoslav territories of the Julian March (Karst Region and Istria), Kvarner and Dalmatia, largely went to Italy, but some joined the Italian diaspora in the Americas, Australia and South Africa.
Niçard exodusThe Niçard exodus (esodo nizzardo ˈɛːzodo nitˈtsardo; exode niçois ɛɡzɔd niswa) was one of the first emigration phenomena that involved the Italian populations in the contemporary age.

The exodus took place starting from 1861, concomitantly and following the annexation of Nice and its surroundings from the Kingdom of Sardinia to France.
