Abstract
During the Cold War the “Gorizia Gap” was one of the keys to the defence of Western Europe against a hypothetical invasion by the Warsaw Pact. Taking this emblematic place as a starting point, this essay investigates the problems connected with the defence of the eastern Italian border in the first post-WW2 decade. The analysis starts at the end of 1945 and follows the evolution of the defence plans drawn up by the Anglo-American allies, the Italians and Nato to face first a localised Yugoslav aggression, and then a large-scale Soviet attack.
