Disputed definition

I don't agree with this definition: the historical region of Görk-Gorizia-Gorica was part of Austrian-Hungary before Italy (Slovenia as independent state did not exist) and was a multi-cultural town. "Occupied" is a negative term and should not be used without explicit explanation.

I propose:

<<Most western region in Slovenia, the capital is Nova Gorica.

The historical region was part of the Austrian-Hungarian empire and its capital was the city of [Gorizia] (now part of Italy) also known as Görk (german) and Gorica (slovenian). Italy earned possession of the region after WW1 as part of Venezia Giulia, but ceaded the most of the region to Yuogoslavia at the end of WW2, while keeping the urban centre of Gorizia, despite Tito's claim. In the war aftermath constuctions of the "new" Gorica (thus, Nova Gorica) started, and established it as region capital.>>
