Key Points

• Lateran Accord
  • Signed on 11 February 1929, the Lateran Accord was a set of agreements between the Kingdom of Italy and the Holy See (the jurisdiction of the Pope).
  • The accords recognized Vatican City as an independent state under the sovereignty of the Holy See, resolving the "Roman Question" which had been a source of tension since the unification of Italy in 1870.
  • Benito Mussolini, the Prime Minister of Italy, signed the accords on behalf of King Victor Emmanuel III, and Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Gasparri signed on behalf of Pope Pius XI.
  • The Lateran Accord included three agreements: a treaty recognizing the independence of the Vatican City, a financial settlement, and a concordat regulating church-state relations within Italy.

Additional Information

• Hitler and Mussolini
  • While Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini were allies during World War II, there was no significant accord between them in 1929. Their alliance, known as the Rome-Berlin Axis, was formally established in 1936.
• Mussolini and England
  • There was no significant accord or treaty between Mussolini and England in 1929. Relations between Italy and England were generally diplomatic, but no key agreements like the Lateran Accord were signed between them during this period.
• Hitler and England
  • Adolf Hitler and England did not sign any accords in 1929. In fact, the relationship between Nazi Germany and England was extremely contentious, culminating in World War II. The Munich Agreement of 1938 is a notable event involving Hitler and England, but it occurred much later.
