УПОТРЕБА ПРЕДСТАВЕ О ИРСКОЈ РЕВОЛУЦИЈИ У СРПСКО-ХРВАТСКИМ СПОРОВИМА 1919–1923.
Utilizing the Perception of the Irish Revolution in Conflicts between the Serbs and the Croats

Summary/Abstract: Croatian Committee in exile and adherents of the ultra-nationalist Frank’s party in Yugoslavia were bracing up to combat the Yugoslav state in the 1920s according to the method that was called „Irish”. The catchword of Croatian revolutionaries was to be Sinn Fein. Apart from applying the Irish method, the Croat territory was also inspired by the Irish political way of solving the national question. During 1921 and in the fi rst half of 1922 the Croat Peasants’ Party,Croat Union, and the Croat Block deemed that the Irish example for solving the Croat national question was better suited than any other. The reactions of Serbian and Yugoslav parties aimed at denying the parallels between the Croat and Irish questions, whereas seldom threats to Croat separatists were heard from the Democratic Party that the British way of armed struggle would be applied to crush the sedition. The British Embassy in Belgrade noticed that the Croats were trying to solve their national question in the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes according to the Irish model and it notifi ed its government in London.
