Summary/Abstract: The year 1918 and the end of World War I marked a turning point in both European (and world) and Croatian history. The great material and human losses and the disappearance of the multinational, multi-religious and multicultural Austro-Hungarian Monarchy from the political map of Europe marked a critical moment in the history of the peoples living in its south. Croats, Slovenes, Serbs and Bosniaks, hitherto subjects of the black-yellow Monarchy, in the maelstrom of social and political forces are leaving the Central European cultural and civilizational circle and entering the Balkan geopolitical space, or the newly created Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (Kingdom of Yugoslavia).

- Summary/Abstract:At the end of the First World War an attempt was made to put into effect political projects which had been defined in an earlier time period. The 1913 parliamentary elections signified an end to previously irreconcilable political notions of solving the Croatian question which resulted in a suspension of constitutionality, the introduction of a commissariat, and assassinations. A change in policy toward Croatia was expressed through two actions: an agreement with the Croat-Serb Coalition and the nomination of Ivan Skerlecz as commissar. Upon becoming Ban (governor), the prospect of an agreement with the Coalition provided him with a significant influence on the government. The politics of the Croat-Serb Coalition during the First World War can be viewed on various levels. Accepting the terms of an agreement with the Hungarian government ensured it of a political position, which in the end enabled it with a mandate in constitutional discussions. The conditions surrounding Skerlecz’s administration of Croatia can be evaluated against internal and external political factors which placed him and the Coalition in the midst of key processes during the First World War.

- Summary/Abstract:That more than 800 benefit concerts were held in Zagreb during the First World War bears witness to the care its citizens felt toward the soldiers and their families, especially the invalids and orphans of the war. Fellowship in the Croatian national body was often emphasized with pride, but it was tied to the faithfulness of Croats to the royal crown and the Habsburg dynasty. The total predominance of Croatian national colours along with the royal colours, but the noticeable absence of Hungarian ones, even though the military units, which the people without reservation considered their own, were within the framework of the Hungarian home guards, speaks to the conditions within the lands of the crown of St. Stephen at the time.

- Summary/Abstract:Before the beginning of WWI, Croats, Slovenes, and other Slav peoples of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy were clearly dissatisfied with its dual organization, which privileged the Germans and Hungarians. Croats were also frustrated because while Dalmatia and Istria administered by the Austrian part of the Monarchy, Croatia-Slavonia were under the Hungarian part of the Monarchy, and Bosnia and Herzegovina were under the governance of the common Ministry of finances. It is therefore not surprising that several proposals for the reformation of the Monarchy had been put forward by the South Slav politicians, nor that all of them called for the unification of the Croatian lands. Three years into the war, the Yugoslav Club of the Emperor’s Council issued on May 30, 1917 a declaration that requested the formation on the territories inhabited by the Slovenes, Croats, and Serbs of an independent state, but under the Hapsburg scepter. The request was made on the basis of the national principle and the Croat state right. The May Declaration initiated controversies among Croatian politicians and political parties, but it also began a movement to accept the program of the Declaration. The most enthusiastic supporters were the leaders and the membership of the Catholic organizations. The author highlights the political situation that led toward the issuing of the Declaration, the controversies that surrounded its promotion, and its political consequences. In the end, he draws two conclusions.

- Summary/Abstract:The paper aims to present dynamics of political and every-day activities on the island of Brač during the First World War. It presents the war-related problems of the populace - shortage of manpower and dependence on vineyards as the main economy of the island. The author pays special attention to the agriculture of the island and argues that it was focal point for the local population who suffered food shortages. According to Dalmatian journals and the Bol municipal archives, population was loyal to the regime until 1917 and then started to profess their allegiance to future Yugoslav state. The period after the war did not fulfill their hopes, because the structural problems such as poverty, migration and lack of modernization, continued.

- Summary/Abstract:The justified dissatisfaction of the Slovene political elite with the situation of their lands in the Austrian half of the state, the bitterness of the Croat politicians regarding the dualistic arrangement of the state, which led to the separation of Banal Croatia from Dalmatia and the constitutionally unclear status of Bosnia and Hercegovina, grew into problems which would significantly con-tribute to the ultimate dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. This atmosphere gave rise to the demand to unite the Croats, Slovenes, and Serbs, “three tribes of one nation,” in a common state. The inaugural meeting of the National Council of Slovenes, Croats, and Serbs (Narodno vijeće Slovenaca, Hrvata, i Srba – NV SHS) was held in Zagreb on 5 and 6 October 1918. After a short hesitation, the Croat-Serb Coalition, the ruling group in Banal Croatia, joined the ranks of the NV SHS. On 19 October 1918, the Central Committee of the NV SHS openly declared its demand for the “unification of the whole nation of Slovenes, Croats, and Serbs on the entirety of its ethnographic territory,” without regard to regional or state boundaries, within “one united and fully sovereign state.” At the meeting of the Central Committee on 28/29 October 1918, the propositions of Svetozar Pribićević to sever all constitutional ties between the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia and Dalmatia and the Kingdom of Hungary and the Austrian Empire and of Ante Pavelić (Senr.) regarding the resolution of the Croatian Sabor (Parliament) to recognize the NV SHS as the “supreme government” were adopted. On 29 October 1918, the Croatian Sabor accepted both of these propositions. It was not the goal of the members of the Central Committee to create an independent State of Slovenes, Croats, and Serbs outside of the boundaries of the Monarchy, but rather to quickly unite their lands with the Kingdom of Serbia and the Kingdom of Montenegro in a new common state. Soon after the unification of the State of Slovenes, Croats, and Serbs with the Kingdom of Serbia was announced on 1 December 1918, the NV SHS and all of its components lost their raison d’être.

- Summary/Abstract:Based on research conducted using previously unknown archival documents, the author examines the transition in Croatian history made by the fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The author pays the greatest attention to the mutiny of 5th December 1918 which still induce much discussion in the historiography. The number, significance and behaviour of the people who conspired against the new regime provide a good indication of how this event was used by pro-Yugoslav forces in Croatia for reckoning with the old structures in the Croatian army and opposition politicians who upheld the idea of republicanism. The biggest opposition parties – such as the Croat People Peasent Party and the Party of Right – openly called for peaceful solutions and tried to avoid any form of armed conflict. On the other hand, some officers and soldiers who served in the Croatian Home Guard units were not content with the new situation. They spontaneously decided to organize a public demonstration in the center of Zagreb which turned into a violent confrontation. This bloody event led to the dissolution of the old army units. However, the fallen of the 5th December 1918 uprising are remembered in Croatia as the first victims of resistence to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.

- Summary/Abstract:The Provincial Government for Dalmatia appointed the National Organization for Dalmatia in Split on 2 November 1918 on the order of the National Council of the Slovenes, Croats, and Serbs in Zagreb. Difficult postwar conditions presented it with a number of problems of which the most trying were shortages of supplies and hunger, the spread of communicable diseases, and Italian occupation of parts of the territory resulting in interrupted communication links with Zagreb and among towns in the region. Numerous problems, first and foremost the occupation of parts of its territory, drove the Territorial Government for Dalmatia to call the Serbian army to enter Dalmatia and forced the pace of the unification of the State of Slovenes, Croats, and Serbs with the Kingdom of Serbia (and the Kingdom of Montenegro). The Provincial Government for Dalmatia was dissolved on 20 January 1919 by decree of the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes as part of a wider process of administrative centralization in the new state.

- Summary/Abstract:This work clarifies the circumstances in Croatia and Slavonia in the autumn of 1918, that is, at the time of the activity of the National Council of Slovenes, Croats, and Serbs. The unification of the State of Slovenes, Croats, and Serbs was not only desired but demanded by the bourgeois ranks of society in order to preserve their social position and property. In Croatia, such a climate of hopelessness existed that it seemed to the bourgeoisie that acceptance of the internationally recognized and victorious Kingdom of Serbia was the only solution which could erase the stigma of alliance with the defeated forces of the First World War. The fall of 1918 was a time of upheaval and there was no force in Croatia which could have a calming effect on the anarchic conditions, because the old government had collapsed and the new one had yet to establish itself. The reasons for this were many, from discord among politicians, to the lack of financial resources, to the destruction of property and the appearance of looting in many areas. Without conditions, Croatia entered the embrace of Serbia, sacrificing in this process its most capable politicians and qualified specialists who were not in agreement with developments. Following the unification of 1 December 1918, hungry, poverty-stricken and war-deprived Croatia offered rather weak resistance to the hegemonic attitude of the Great Serbian nationalists in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, or, as better known by its later name, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

- Keywords:Bosnia and Herzegovina; Bosniaks; Yugoslavia;
- Summary/Abstract:The historiographical literature overemphasizes the support of Bosniaks for the creation of a Yugoslav state. The commonplace notion is that Bosniak interests were more truly expressed by the Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce (Mehmed Spaho) than by the political leader who was the most influential up to that time (Šerif Arnautović). For a long time Bosniak political leaders held to unclear politics in terms of the postwar position of Bosnia and Hercegovina. In the end, however, the supporters of Yugoslav unification showed themselves to be the dominant force. The proclamation of the formation of the State of Slovenes, Croats, and Serbs, which included Slovenia, Croatia, Vojvodina and Bosnia and Hercegovina, was accepted with jubilation among a part of the population of Bosnia and Hercegovina. General Sarkotić, the chief of the Territorial Government of Bosnia and Hercegovina, wrote in his diary (Dnevnik) at the time of its formation: “In Sarajevo itself the happiness of the Serbs appears exaggerated, it seems, to a certain measure to have sobered the Croats and Muslims, but the women and youth show themselves on the streets more in national cockades which then everyone generally wears.”

- Summary/Abstract:With the outbreak of the war and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy Bosnia and Hercegovina became a centre of “national concentration” and the newly proclaimed state. The government of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes was taken over by the Serbian political elite which ascribed to Bosnia and Hercegovina the role of a unified area which would prevent the creation of any kind of Croatian state while strengthening the newly created state and the Serbian dominance within it. The new government established its authority through terror and violence directed against the non-Serbian peoples. It attempted to undermine every political action or publicly expressed demand of the Croats for a federal unit, or an independent state. Mu-slims saw their land confiscated through the Agrarian Reform, which while in part brought to an end feudal relations and corrected historical injustices, also materially ruined numerous families. In harmony with Serbian political tradition the Constitution and other agreements merely acted as “manifestations” to appease “European public opinion.” The interests of other (non-Serbian) peoples were treated as illegitimate or anti-state activities: nationalism and separatism. Various repressive measures were directed at individuals deemed to be the carriers of these interests. Territories in the new state toward which the government lacked sympathy for national or political reasons and which did not figure into particular plans for unitarism were systematically destroyed and neglected. The key argument for unitarism and centralization was a call to the rights and “decisiveness” of the Serbian people, which was intermixed among the others to bring them to “belong to Serbia.” In this spirit the Vidovdan Constitution was brought into being which eliminated historical rights and historical lands, and created the basis for further unitarism and centralization of the state, but likewise strong reasons for dissatisfaction and resistance. States are determined by the nature of their formation. The Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes came into existence due to historical circumstances as an intellectual creation and not the result of national development. Primarily, violence was used to impose “unity” and centralized government.

- Summary/Abstract:The disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy in 1918 and the end of the First World War the political elites of the South Slav peoples awaited with fear for the loss of large portions of their ethnic territory, but also with the expectation that the western Great Powers would support their ambitions for statehood. The expectations arose mostly after the proclamation of American President Thomas Woodrow Wilson’s famed “Fourteen Points.” Above all, South Slav political elites in the Monarchy believed that Wilson’s notion of defense for the rights to people to self-determination would trump the Italian territorial demands based on the “London Agreement” of 1915. However, the attitude of the United States, Great Britain, and France at the peace conference in Paris (1919–1920) did not fulfill the expectations of Slovene and Croatian politicians. Wilson did, indeed, put pressure on the Italian delegation on the issue of territorial delimitation with the newly created South Slav state in Istria and Dalmatia, but without great success. With regard to the northern border of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, Wilson’s politics in fact contributed to the inclusion of a large portion of ethnic Slovene territory in Carinthia into the Republic of Austria. The Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes had more support from the western Great Powers in delimiting its border with Hungary and in other sectors. In its final phase the diplomacy of the western Great Powers was disappointing in the eyes of the South Slav political elite, established as it was on the territory of what was once the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. However, from the point of view of the Karađorđević state, the peace conference merely confirmed the trend toward realizing Greater Serbian territorial pretensions which, with the support of Great Britain and France, was begun during the Balkan wars in 1912 and 1913.

- Summary/Abstract:As the years after 1918 passed under the clouds of economic instability, shortages, social and political upheaval Osijek’s economic spheres following the unification of the State of Slovenes, Croats, and Serbs with the Kingdoms of Serbia and Montenegro (1918) had to adjust their activities to new circumstances. Namely, the previous centres of Austro-Hungarian Monarchy (Vienna, Graz, Budapest, Pecs, Villany, Barcs, Trieste, etc.) to which they were linked by internal commercial, financial, and other ties were all of a sudden on the other side of the state’s boundaries, that is abroad, while the foreign territories of Serbia and Montenegro became domestic land. At the same time the establishment of the new state upon the demise of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy required the resolution of problems tied to the transit of goods and the completion of commercial contracts with neighbouring countries, as well as the arrangement of taxation, transportation, customs, financial and other matters. All of this directly affected the interests of Osijek’s economic spheres which, despite a developed industrial base, trades, commercial sector and banking system, did not come to full fruition in the new state. The previous conditions of life changed because Osijek began to be left behind Zagreb. Nevertheless, even in the new conditions, due to Osijek’s favourable position along the Drava in terms of transport, a rather quick economic revival was guaranteed.

- Summary/Abstract:The purpose of this introductory article is a consideration of options that autobiographical sources can offer to historiographical study of the First World War. Accordingly, the first chapter is a chronological overview of the historical works on the First World War published in Croatia and – to a lesser degree – in the whole region, which generally indicates that incorporated themes, putting aside methodological innovation, and partly even their conclusions have directly reflected political and social turbulences from 1918 to 1991. Apart from including larger number of researchers and having better material conditions, British, French, American, German and Australian post-1918 historiographies have generally been developed with significantly more autonomy and without neglecting methodological considerations, especially those concerning auto-biographical sources. The second chapter is therefore an attempt to fill – at least in the short lines – this gap in Croatian historiography, while the third is interested in the not always harmonious touch between historiography and literary theory. The fourth chapter presents a draft of relevant Croatian autobiographical literary corpus, a description of its general features, and an outline of the answers to some of the possible research questions.

- Summary/Abstract:In this article the author provides a short review of the political activities of a prominent member of the Croatian political elite, Dr. Mate Drinković, in the period from the eve of World War One to the end of 1918. A better understanding of his life and activities in this dynamic period is provided by an appendix which contains a transcription of an archival document written by Mate Drinković which is held in the diocesan archives of Đakovo, among the papers of Mons. Dr. Fran Barac. From this previously unpublished and until now unknown document something can be learned of Drinković’s activities during the war, especially at the end of 1917 and during 1918, on the eve of the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy and the creation of the new South Slavic state.

- Summary/Abstract:This text supports the thesis that Great Serbian imperialism represents a “structure of long duration” which vitally determines Serbian politics in the 19th and 20th century. It has already been shown why the manner and form that defined the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes in 1918 proves that the Serbian political elite saw it as an expanded Serbia, a kind of Serbian empire. The example of the politics of the Serbian Orthodox Church, Serbian hi-story textbooks, and especially the contemporary politics of the Serbian Radical Party with emphasis on its electoral slogans for the Serbian parliamentary elections of 2006 and 2008 point to the basic arguments which prove the thesis that Serbian imperialism is a structure of long duration. It is concluded that the widespread acceptance of Greater Serbian ideology in Serbian society re-presents an “epistemological catastrophe” which is the reason that Serbia is a divided society and an incomplete state.
