    Extractions: Austrian monarchy Croatia is indeed unique, not only for its crystal clear, clean blue sea, but also for a thousand years of different cultures that have replaced each other and sometimes assimilated in these areas. The Adriatic Sea is not only a deep gulf in the Mediterranean cut into the Continent of Europe thereby creating most economical trade route between Europe and the East, it is also the cradle of ancient civilizations. There is much material evidence about that which is finally beginning to come to light, from the depths of Adriatic caves and from the deep blue sea. The east coast of the Adriatic Sea was inhabited as early as the beginning of the early Stone Age, and there is proof that most of the accessible islands were also inhabited (archaeological findings in caves near the islands of Hvar and Palagruza, etc.). Thanks to the favourable geographical characteristics of our coast, with its numerous bays, inlets and coves, the coastal belt has ever been a significant mercantile and nautical route.

    Extractions: Some of the information in this section pertains to all of Croatia and some of it is regional. The problem is that most researchers (and contributors to this website) have a regional interest. Some of their regional information can be applied to other parts of the country and some cannot. We will do the best we can to present the information in a way useable to the most number of people. However, in many cases regional examples and information will have to suffice because that's all we have. It's then your job to extrapolate this information into useable ideas for your own purposes.

    http://feefhs.org/frl/cro/edlund1.html
    
    Extractions: by Thomas K. Edlund The officers of FEEFHS, in their ongoing effort to encourage and assist genealogical research in Eastern Europe, have asked me to summarize the resources available from the Family History Library (FHL) which relate to the former Austrian kingdoms of Croatia and Slavonia, with marginal reference made to Slovenia. Such a request is meaningful only when contextualized to the intellectual access systems provided by the information retrieval systems of the FHL. As with the holdings of other libraries, the collections of the FHL are inventoried and described in a catalog. Distributed yearly to over 2,700 Family History Centers worldwide, the Family History Library Catalog (FHLC) is the single resource providing information to the microfilming efforts of the Genealogical Society of Utah (GSU). The intent of this lecture is to familiarize the researcher, in a general way, with the methods of locating materials of interest currently available at the FHL. The presentation is actually intended more as a "practicum" than a lecture. In addition to retrieval procedures, I will cover background history, size of the collection, the GSU's microfilming endeavors in contemporary Croatia and Slovenia, record types represented in the collection, research aids necessary to use them, and finally review specific examples.

68. History Of Necktie.
    Many events in the history of mankind eventually fade into oblivion, but others 600 million people now wear the ubiquitous symbol of croatia around their necks

    Extractions: History of the most common gift of gratitude to Dad Many events in the history of mankind eventually fade into oblivion, but others, leave their indelible marks for the entire world to see. More than 350 years ago, the Croats initiated one such influential occurrence. Although started in the 17th century in a small region on the Adriatic coast, the consequences of this event are still very much evident the world over. 600 million people now wear the ubiquitous symbol of Croatia around their necks, close to their hearts. Believe it or not Croatia is the mother country of the modern necktie but archaeological evidence of the use of neckties goes back to the Chinese and the Romans almost two millenniums back. China's First emperor. The earliest known version of the necktie has been found in the massive mausoleum of China's first emperor, Shih Huang Ti, who was buried in 210 B.C. Desperately afraid of death, the emperor wanted to slaughter an entire to army to accompany him into the next world. His advisers ultimately persuaded him to take life-size replicas of the soldiers instead. The result is one of the marvels of the ancient world. Unearthed in 1974 near the ancient capital city of Xian, the tomb contained an astonishing 7,500 life-size terracotta replicas of Shih Huang Ti's famed fighting force. Legions of officers, soldiers, archers and horsemen, all carved in meticulous detail, guard the emperor's sarcophagus. The armor, uniforms, hair, and facial expressions of the soldiers are reproduced in exquisite detail. Each figure is different - except in one respect: all wear neck cloths.

    http://about.dubrovnikbedandbreakfast.com/history.htm
    
    Extractions: Dubrovnik history ( very short version ) The Croatian name of the town is derived from the word dubrava, while the Latin name Ragusa - Rausa originated from the name of the island where the first settlement was established (Lave, Lausa). Dubr-ovnik was probably founded in the first half of the 7th century , upon the fall of the nearby Epidaurum (today's Cavtat) during the Avaro-Slavic invasion on Dalmatia. Opposite of that location, at the foot of Srd Mount, developed a Croatian settlement under the name of Dubrovnik, after which, in the course of time, the entire town was named. The spatial separation was created by levelling and filling up of the present Placa, where the core of an integrated town developed. From its establishment the town was under the protection of the Byzantine Empire (for a certain period, the Byzantine strategist also resided here); during the Crusades it came under the sovereignty of Venice (1205-1358), and by

    Extractions: Short History The Croats are believed to be a purely Slavic people who migrated from Ukraine and settled in present-day Croatia during the 6th century. After a period of self-rule, Croatians agreed to the Pacta Conventa in 1091, submitting themselves to Hungarian authority. By the mid-1400s, concerns over Ottoman expansion led the Croatian Assembly to invite the Habsburgs, under Archduke Ferdinand, to assume control over Croatia. Habsburg rule proved successful in thwarting the Ottomans, and by the 18th century, much of Croatia was free of Turkish control. In 1868, Croatia gained domestic autonomy while remaining under Hungarian authority. Following World War I and the demise of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Croatia joined the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (The Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes became Yugoslavia in 1929). Yugoslavia changed its name once again after World War II. The new state became the Federal Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia and united Croatia and several other states together under the communistic leadership of Marshall Tito.

There has been a lot of debate recently on whether the nation still has the quality to contend with the best in the globe. Most of the stars from the past World Cup may be past their prime, but you can never ignore what the international experience of players like Robert Prosinecki and Alen Boksic can do at the game's highest level. Croatia may not be among the favorites, but it could surprise a few people again. As the countdown to the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan continues, CNNSI.com's Pedro Pinto will take a close look at all of the nations that will contend for football's greatest prize.

    http://www.archaeology.net/language/liturgy/
    
    Extractions: Author: Anonymous (signed with initial V.) Croatian belongs to the old liturgical languages of the church. This is of particular interest since it is known that Croatia has been under the jurisdiction of the Roman Bishop, the Pope, and therefore within the Western Churc h, where, ever since the 4th century, Latin had been known as the only official language used in liturgy until the Vatican II (October 11, 1962 - December 8, 1965) when national modern languages were allowed to be used in the liturgy. The Vatican, in several instances, permitted the use of the native languages in liturgy; however, such exceptions (permits to practice Roman Rite in Armenian, Albanian, Georgian, Arabian and Chinese) were restricted to the Epistles and the Gospels. In the Christian East, following the decline of the Greek language (4th century), parallel to koine, the two Eastern liturgical families (Alexandrine and Antiochian) with some restrictions, used native languages in all pertaining rites. At the time of the arrival of the Croats (during the 7th century), the present Croatian lands were under divided and alternating rules of the patriarchs of Constantinople and Rome. The coastal towns and islands were under the rule of the Byzantine patriarch, while the rest of Croatia was under the papal jurisdiction. In 1054, with the split between the Eastern and Western Churches, all Croatian lands came under papal jurisdiction.

    Extractions: Overview Croatia was the scene of brutal warfare in the early '90s as the result of the breakup of the former Yugoslavia. Although, Croatia is rebuilding, independence has come at great cost. The war in Croatia cost thousands of lives and displaced hundreds of thousands of people, who have started new lives in Croatia and other countries. War left a legacy of devastated property, scarred lives, and disappointed hopes. Today Croatia looks back to a rich, tumultuous heritage, and forward to a brighter future.
