Line 160:
After the war the Allies decided that the province would remain a part of Italy, under the condition that the German-speaking population be granted a significant level of self-government. Italy and Austria negotiated an agreement in 1946, recognizing the rights of the German minority. [[Alcide De Gasperi]], Italy's prime minister, a native of Trentino, wanted to extend the autonomy to his fellow citizens. This led to the creation of the region called ''Trentino-Alto Adige/Tiroler Etschland''. The [[Gruber–De Gasperi Agreement]] of September 1946 was signed by the Italian and Austrian Foreign Ministers, creating the autonomous region of [[Trentino-South Tyrol]], consisting of the autonomous provinces of [[Trentino]] and South Tyrol. German and Italian were both made official languages, and German-language education was permitted once more. Still Italians were the majority in the combined region.
 
This, together with the arrival of new Italian-speaking immigrants, led to strong dissatisfaction among South Tyroleans[[Southtyroleans]], which culminated in terrorist acts perpetrated by the ''[[Befreiungsausschuss Südtirol]]'' (BAS – Liberation Committee of South Tyrol). In the first phase, only public edifices and fascist monuments were targeted. The second phase was bloodier, costing 21 lives (15 members of Italian security forces, two civilians, and four terrorists).
