Summary/Abstract: The article covers the arrival of Hungarian settlers in Slavonia during the early 20th century. Cooperation between Croats and Hungarians encountered various difficulties in that period, because the interested parties could not agree on the Hungarian-Croatian Settlement from 1868. The Hungarian authorities took part in the agrarian colonization of Slavonia and the autonomous Croatian authorities in Banal Croatia did not agree with such development. The Hungarian government supported the so called “Slavonian action” (1904) whose main goal was to support Hungarian religious and education institutions in Slavonia. Croatian politicians and public saw this as a example of Hungarian expansionist policy toward Croatia.
