Summary/Abstract: This article deals with the history of the Croatian left in the last seventy years with a special emphasis on its role during World War Two. The author analyzes the national policy of the Croatian left towards Croats and Croatia in the second Yugoslav state and highlights numerous positive attempts at solving the Croatian national question. He goes on to point to the difficulties which the Croatian left had to face in achieving the desired aims. The unsatisfactory solution for the Croatian question in the second Yugoslavia was the cause of constant friction and of the disintegration of the Yugoslav federation. The author is of the opinion that the Croatian leftist parties should not repeat the same mistakes and harbour illusions of a Yugoslav community, which has always been extremely detrimental to the Croatian nationalist interests.
