Summary/Abstract: In this article, the authors explain, through several selected examples of commemorative practices, how the First World War in Croatia became a “forgotten war” despite the great sacrifices. Such events started being organized in honor of those who died in the First World War and they are still organised. These commemorative practices have not become traditional though.
