Main Entry: ir·re·den·ta Pronunciation: ir-i-'den-t& Function: noun Etymology: Italian Italia irredenta, literally, unredeemed Italy, Italian-speaking territory not incorporated in Italy : a territory historically or ethnically related to one political unit but under the political control of another This description made me think of Banda Aceh in Indonesia, though I gather the situation is a bit different... Anybody know why this term would have originated in Italy in particular? Is it usually applied to other parts of the world?
