Between Revolution and Legitimacy: The Croatian Political Movement of 1848-1849 and the Formation of the Croatian National Identity

Summary/Abstract: The Croatian name until the revoution of 1848-1849was completely unknown to the wider European public. It was often metioned, although mainly in a negative context, in the former European periodicals and pamphlets. These negative stereotypes particulary affected the radical left-wing intellectuals decades later, such as Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. However, the affirmation of the Croatian name as the protagonist in the European community of nations was also a prerequisite for a positive image, which gradually emerged in the years before WWI.
