ALT1: ... that it took the King of Italy 22 years to decide whether France or Mexico owned Clipperton Island in the Pacific Ocean? Source: Nearly 22 years later on January 28, 1931 Victor Emmanuel rendered his decision awarding the island to France. "ITALY: Clipperton Island". Time. 1931-02-16. Retrieved 2024-01-06.
