This chapter focuses on American public opinion and its perception of the Adriatic question in 1919–1920. Historians have already dealt with the role of US President Woodrow Wilson in solving the Adriatic question and the engagement of the USA in entangled relations between Italy, the Montenegrin government in exile and the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. This chapter is based on the newspaper reports on the Adriatic question that were published in the period of crisis 1919–1920 in high-ranking newspapers in the United States. Most of them were published on the East Coast of the United States, which is important because many immigrants from the Balkans lived and worked in large industrial cities. Although the American public was open to different opinions, after Montenegro entered the Yugoslav state, its attention gradually turned to the problems of the new state. Eventually, at the end of 1919, it would fully concentrate on the demarcation issues with Italy and the possibility of conflicts with the Adriatic
