- La strage di Vergarolla, conosciuta anche come strage di Vergarola (in croato Eksplozija na Vergaroli) fu causata dall'esplosione di materiale bellico, avvenuta il 18 agosto 1946 sulla spiaggia di Vergarolla a Pola. L'esplosione provocò la morte accertata di 65 persone. In quel periodo l'Istria era rivendicata dalla Jugoslavia di Tito, che l'aveva occupata fin dal maggio 1945. Pola invece era amministrata a nome e per conto degli Alleati dalle truppe britanniche, ed era quindi l'unica parte dell'Istria al di fuori del controllo jugoslavo. (it)

Initial newspaper reports cited 43 dead and 57 injured, including two British soldiers. Many of the victims were bathers who were attending an annual swimming event called Scarioni Cup. The explosion had strong political implications, because local Italian leaders and the main Italian newspaper L'Arena di Pola, suggested that it was a demonstration against the Italian feelings of the residents, and a way to reinforce the possible (later actual) annexation to the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The exact number of victims of the incident remains undefined, with estimates ranging up to about a hundred dead. (en)

Pola invece era amministrata a nome e per conto degli Alleati dalle truppe britanniche, ed era quindi l'unica parte dell'Istria al di fuori del controllo jugoslavo. Le responsabilità dell'esplosione, la dinamica e perfino il numero delle vittime sono tuttora fonte di accesi dibattiti. L'inchiesta delle autorità inglesi stabilì che "gli ordigni furono deliberatamente fatti esplodere da persona o persone sconosciute". Mappa di Pola.
