BEGINNING OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR IN DALMATIA

Summary/Abstract: The murder of Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo in 1914 launched a new political process in Dalmatia. Current political movements were interrupted, and new topics were imposed. In July 1914 the anti-Serb demonstrations prompted a fierce debate within the Dalmatian political spectrum. Declaration of war led to new political, social and economic circumstances. Political control was increased at the political level and many constitutional freedoms were suspended. The “old” political parties froze its work, and the press was subjected to preventive censorship. The Dalmatian public faced a new problem, the supply of the population. During 1914 the war was still peripheral and was felt only in certain areas, but as it developed, the problem became larger and larger.
