Related Weblinks Croatia History In 229 BC, Croatia's native Illyrians lost their land to the Roman empire - in AD 285, Emperor Diocletian built the palace fortress in Split, now the greatest Roman ruin in eastern Europe. The Western Roman empire collapsed in the 5th century, and around 625, Slavic tribes migrated to Croatia from present-day Poland. The Croatian tribe moved into what is now Croatia, occupying the former Roman provinces of Dalmatian Croatia and Pannonian Croatia to the northeast. The two provinces were united in 925 into a single kingdom which prospered into the 12th century. In 1242 a Tatar invasion devastated Croatia. In the 16th century, as the Turks threatened to take over the Balkans, northern Croatia turned to the Habsburgs of Austria for protection, remaining under their influence until 1918. Meanwhile, the Dalmatian coast was taken by Venice in the early 15th century and held until the end of the 17th century, when it was taken by Napoleonic France and made part of the Illyrian provinces (along with Istria and Slovenia). A revival of Croatian cultural and political life began in 1835 - the serfs were liberated, and northern Croatia came under the rule of Hungary, which granted it a degree of internal autonomy.

A kingdom from the 10th cent., Croatia conquered surrounding districts, including Dalmatia, which was chronically contested with Venice. Croatia's power reached its peak in the 11th cent., but internecine strife facilitated its conquest in 1091 by King Ladislaus I of Hungary. In 1102 a pact between his successor and the Croatian tribal chiefs established a personal union of Croatia and Hungary under the Hungarian monarch. Although Croatia remained linked with Hungary for eight centuries, the Croats were sometimes able to choose their rulers independently of Budapest. In personal union with Hungary, Croatia retained its own diet and was governed by a ban, or viceroy. After the battle of in 1526 most of Croatia came under Turkish rule. In 1527 the Croatian feudal lords agreed to accept the Hapsburgs as their kings in return for common defense and retention of their privileges.

BACK TO THE FRONT PAGE BASIC INFO. ECONOMY GEOGRAPHY ... CROATIA Croatia's history as an independent nation dates back to the 10th century. In 1102, Hungary's king began to rule over the Croats. From the 1300s on, Croatia, together with Hungary and Serbia, represented Europe's defensive wall against the encroaching Ottoman empire. In 1526, the region was added to the Habsburg dynasty, coming under Austrian control. After the collapse of the Habsburgs during the first World War, Croatia became part of Yugoslavia but chafed under Serbian control. During World War II, the Croats engaged in "ethnic cleansing" such that about 100,000 Serbs and Jews were murdered in Croatia. In 1946, the Croats joined the newly re-established Yugoslavia (Tito was himself a Croat). They declared their secession from the republic in 1991 and war broke out. In 1996, the Yugoslav-Croat war was ended with Yugoslavia recognizing formal borders for Croatia and establishing diplomatic relations. More History

BACK TO THE FRONT PAGE BASIC INFO. ECONOMY GEOGRAPHY ... CROATIA 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. After the death of Tito and with the fall of communism throughout eastern Europe, the Yugoslav federation began to crumple. Croatia held its first multi-party elections since World War II in 1990. Long-time Croatian nationalist Franjo Tudjman was elected President, and one year later, Croatians declared independence from Yugoslavia. Conflict between Serbs and Croats in Croatia escalated, and one month after Croatia declared independence, civil war erupted.

Introduction [ language: Hrvatski [Intro] [ Brod na Savi Bridge Sava River From Granik to Granik In the seventies of the 19th century, Brod na Savi (Brod on Sava River), with 3.398 inhabitants was a small muddy and dusty town of decreasing importance, the small town of handicraftsmen and farmers, with no industry and traffic connections with the other parts of Croatia. Only twice a week, the boats of C.K. - Vienna privileged steamship company connected Zemun and Sisak with Brod, on the mid route, on Sunday from Sisak, on Wednesday from Zemun. Their thick smoke was seen from Poloj and from the mouth of Sava, and when the beared captain strongly pulled the steam-powered fife, the crowds of barefooted children ran to the shore to the Agency, to see "Galatea" and "Czigo" boats. The middle class in Brod was in a forming process. Their main representatives were handicraftsmen and traders, most of them Germans and the Tzintzars. The commercial register from 1878. had noted 86 traders in Brod, and the tradesman,s register from year 1877. 233 tradesmen. The "opanak"-makers were the majority. And then, it came the demilitarization of Vojna Krajina (1873), two years after the abolition of the free Brod military komunitet and the proclamation of Brod na Savi, a town (1871), the occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the shift of the boarder from Sava to Drina. General count Josip Filipoviæ took Brod na Savi for a starting point from which he pontooned to Bosnia. In these days Brod was full of army. The old fortress, built during Karlo VIth has already been let out to the traders of Brod for storehouses, revived the days or glory again.
