Summary/Abstract: After a short survey of the mediaeval Bosnian state, the author deals with the position of Bosnia under the Turks, Austro-Hungary, with the position of Bosnia and Herzegovina in. the World War I, in the pre-war Yugoslavia, and finally in the Peoples’ Liberation War and Socialist Revolution, 1941—194a. After the Turkish invasion, Bosnia had the same social and political order as the other provinces of the Turkish empire. Due to islamization, Moslem population came into existence descending largely from the local petty gentry and peasants. Converts to Islam retained many specific characteristics not only in language but also in customs, making themselves — at the same time — a part of the religious community of Moslem nations that the Turkish empire represented from the very beginning.
