Summary/Abstract: On the 110th anniversary of death of Dr Ante Starčević, a great figure of Croatian statehood and “Father of the Fatherland”, the author gives a brief overview concerning his life, education and political activities of this distinguished Croat. Starčević created Croatian radical national integration ideology and founded Party of Right. He was the most important member of that party and throughout his life he used all his intellectual and other capabilities in the struggle for united, free, sovereign and independent Croatia. This struggle was directed primarily against Austria and Hungary, but also against all other who wanted to rule over Croatia. Starčević based his political activities mostly on the historical Croatian right to achieve their state, but he also accepted the natural right of all nations to achieve self-determination and to create their own national state. For Starčević an independent national state, in this case a Croatian one, was a basis for the development of spirit of a nation. Through its independent state a nation achieves its creative spirit and its and its creative strength and capabilities.
