Edited sentence: ) Italy then annexed this Southern part of the province of Tyrol as well, claiming the entire territorial reward for its changing sides in the war according to the London Pact.However, the Italian ultranationalist (and would-be Fascist) Ettore Tolomei presented President Wilson and his envoys, who were totally unfamiliar with the actual ethnic situation as well as with the entire concept of nationalism, with a crudely forged "document" that convinced the unprepared Americans that the area was basically Italian.This appropriation was confirmed by the Treaty of Saint-Germain in 1919, although Tyrol was so desperate to maintain its unity that at one point it even suggested secession from Austria and formation of a neutral (but unified) Free State, with extensive economic and military concessions to Italy
