history of Croatia timeline

history of Croatia timeline,

To concentrate on the Balkans is to

concentrate on the country constructing the term

balkanization was thrown around a ton

during the Yugoslav conflicts which were a

finish of ethnic pressures driving

to the autonomy of Croatia from the

control of Belgrade in 1991 yet countries

try not to jump up for the time being it takes

many years hundreds of years and now and again longer

to persuade a gathering to part

from another and the Balkans is where

this peculiarity is generally manifest in

Europe returning similar to the Roman

The realm of the Balkans was an intersection

split between the Latin West and the

Greek East 50% of the Empire and

affected by two separate parts of

Christianity is the underlying foundation of patriotism

what's more, ethnic sentimentalism could be

not set in stone by which side of this line

you wound up in any event when the region

was settled by Slavic travelers during

the incredible movement time frame moved by

attacking crowds of ava's and bull gars

the Slavs entered Byzantine Dalmatia

alongside the appearance of the Hungarians

who pushed the Illyrians east of the

The Carpathian Mountains maybe

the coolest round of dominoes in human

history yet I'm losing track of the main issue at hand

however no gift yet the Croats were

part of the southern Slavic settlements

what's more, soon a Duchy inside Byzantium and

then oppressed by the Franks which

truly places into point of view exactly how

huge the Frankish Empire was it was

close to this time that one of the

country-building elements would start to

impact Croatia's future recollect

those two places of worship we discussed in

the introduction well they're going to go

through a really dreadful separation in 1054

Croatia was immovably inside the Latin

the circle thus normally they turned out to be part

of the Catholic confidence while the remainder of

the Balkans under Byzantium became

Customary Christians drove by

Constantinople which was a far superior

bargain as I would see it since they additionally got

this extravagant new letter set tossed in for

free

Croatia would keep the Latin letter set so

assuming that you're taking notes on senseless reasons

for individuals to vulcanize then this ought to

be right at top Croatia ultimately

turned into a constituent Kingdom in 925

before long splitting endlessly totally

from Frankish control see that is a hell

of significantly more seasoned than 1991 one of their

Lord Stephen, the first is said to have

been caught by a Venetian and played

him in a round of chess to win his

an opportunity that is only one of the numerous

legends at the beginning of the Croatian

ensign and furthermore my own

number one coincidentally so what I like

Venetians OK the outing Maravich line

governed Croatia until the passing of the ruler

Stephen is as numerous traditions do because

he had no male successor prompting the

bigger and more crowded realm of

Hungary to acquire the domain rule

from Hungary ended up being a pretty

sweet gig as it acquainted feudalism with

Croatia which helped the 12 honorable

clans that governed the different regions

with neighborhood independence albeit simply a

constituent realm Croatia was as a matter of fact

governed by a boycott a sort of regal emissary

inside the Hungarian crown over

everything except Dalmatia the

Dalmatian city-states were comprised of

romanized exiles who escaped to the coast

from the Slavs hundreds of years sooner and set

up their own free domains

that blossomed with an exchange with Italy

appreciating security by the Byzantines

they even communicated in a Romance language

called dalmatic ho which was to some degree

commonly coherent with numerous Italian

tongues so assuming you heard someone

say that Dalmatia once communicated in Italian

that is likely the very thing they mean by that

of these urban areas, one was as well

come to specific noticeable quality the

Republic of Ragusa Roman evacuees escaped

the city of eppy Durham and chose a

the little island which they called Lhasa

right across the bank from a Croatian

the settlement which they named stock

neck the different sides put about the

contrasts and at last joined into

one city which they renamed Ragusa while

Dubrovnik turned into the Croatian name for

the city they were permitted to oversee

themselves under the Byzantine Empire

furthermore, interestingly enough likewise momentarily the

Normans which as I don't actually have the foggiest idea

what the Normans were in any event, doing their

so distant from home in any case

yet anyway, these urban communities prospered

enough in the Adriatic that they made due

to certainly stand out enough to be noticed in Venice the

Venetians were dealers and assuming there's

one thing a trader can't stand its

a contest so they thought of a

shrewd arrangement controls the armed forces of the

Fourth Crusade to sack the city of Zara

one of their adversaries then continues on to

Constantinople and sack them breakdown

the Byzantine Empire and take every one of those

beautiful Dalmatian urban communities for themselves

what's the worst that could happen and just

like that Ragusa like a significant part of the

Adriatic regarded itself as under new

the executives back in Croatia the arpa

the administration gave to the Angevin tradition

you realize that the family that once dominated

Britain yet the political circumstance the

Balkans was going to change radically

with the posterior condition of the byzantine

realm imploding on all sides due to a

spic and span danger from Anatolia the

Ottoman Turks yet before we start that

merits stopping here to discuss

Bosnia which is a sentence I had never

thought I'd need to say without holding back once a

boycott ate inside the Hungarian crown

fixated on the Bosnia River in 1377 it

turned into a free Kingdom as a state

sandwiched among Serbia and Croatia

Bosnia was vigorously impacted by

Catholic Croats and Orthodox Serbs the

lines in Bosnia were obscured maybe

more than elsewhere in the Balkans

furthermore, for a long time

a third independent Church the Bosnian

Church held extraordinary influence over the land

considered shocking by both the

Catholics and the Orthodox so keep

these folks as a top priority as we push ahead

right back to the Ottoman Turks just

referencing the Ottomans by name in the

Balkans will make a wide range of

enmity Croat Serbs Bulgarians and Greeks

differ on nearly everything except one

the thing they are joined on is their less

than ideal sentiments on the Ottomans

also, not really for unwarranted explanation and with

the fall of Constantinople they

vanquished the Balkan realms individually

until they were right on Croatians

doorstep the Croats battled courageously to

shield their realm yet was sufficiently

crushed in 1493 and again in 1526 the

last option which saw the passing of the ruler

Louie is thus the crown of Hungary had

to go to their north to help Hungary

what's more, Croatia chose Ferdinand as the first

of the House of Habsburg as their ruler

it was not known at this point however this choice

would lay the absolute most profound underlying foundations of

division in the Balkans throughout the following

barely any hundreds of years as the Hapsburgs

what's more, the Ottomans became savage adversaries

presently here's a little illustration of the domain

working from the Ottomans military

force just gets you up to this point

for a genuine life span what you really want is

partners with the Ottomans who had found

themselves presently governing an immense domain

of Orthodox Christians gave certainly

honors and workplaces to these new

subjects who had generally been

abused by Catholics and Crusaders

turning their viewpoint against the

Hapsburgs

also, with their fierce Counter-Reformation we

are not your foe

they're your foe simply check out how they

treat Protestants likewise

acquainting Islam with minimize

populaces like individuals from the Bosnian

church and Albanians furnishing them with

better open doors in footstool society

sparing the nitty-gritty details here

the Hapsburgs and their partners ended

the Ottoman development into Europe most

outstandingly repulsing the Ottoman militaries at

the attack on Vienna in 1529 and again in

1683 and after the Battle of shoptalk

normal practically all of Croatia was

gotten back to the Hapsburgs

thus started the slow decay of the

Ottomans and the ascent of the Hapsburgs

in the Balkan area, Croatian terrains were

assigned as the tactical outskirts

against Turkish invasions yet things

weren't all awful for them the age of the

Habsburg saw a concise recovery in Croatian

flourishing thanks to a limited extent to being

treated well by Maria Theresa

whom they'd upheld during the

Austrian progression emergency the last

piece of Croatia's Habsburg story would

not come until the Napoleonic Wars when

Venice was crushed by the French in

which the Dalmatian coast was at long last

brought together again with the remainder of the

the country under the Empire since we should

face it you can't have Croatia without

Dalmatia and very much appreciate that all of

Croatia was under Habsburg rule and

Habsburg rule was going to get untidy

patriotism was spreading through Europe

far and wide individuals began considering

themselves as countries and ordinary citizens a

normal language with normal history you

get the drill Croatia was cleared up in

Croatian patriotism and, surprisingly, more

comprehensively skillet Slavic or Yugoslavia Slavic

countries in the Ottoman Empire started

rebels against the Turks after the

upsets of 1848 and the unfortunate

Austro-Prussian conflict the Habsburg Empire

was changed into a double government

lifting the Hungarian half as equivalent

accomplices however this neglected to answer the

Croatian inquiry as it just debilitated

their sway and pressure started

rising and when the Russo-Turkish conflict

had brought about numerous Slavic countries

winning their freedom from the

Turks and Austrians fanned the fire

by possessing and later adding Bosnia

Yugoslavia seethed that they had exchanged

one realm for one more started to be

radicalized the somewhat more fragile Balkan

states needed to look elsewhere for

land until further notice thus starting the

Balkan wars the Balkan wars will

certainly, be canvassed in a different

video yet the primary action item here is that

nobody totally no one was content with

the result of the Balkan wars, not the

Bulgarians, not the Greeks positively not

the Turks and the Austrians basically of

all you Kozlov it isn't shocking then

that another conflict would before long eject in this

locale a youthful psychological militant Yugoslav gathering

called youthful Bosnia upheld by the

Serbian mystery society the dark hand

would kill Austrian Archduke

Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo in 19

14 WWI had started that

ultra-patriotism was simply going to develop

in Croatia, during the conflict, they saw the

composing on the wall when Austria-Hungary

started to fall in 1918 with the conflict

attracting to a nearby province of Slovenes

Croats and Serbs pronounced their

freedom from the Habsburg Empire in

Zagreb is soon to get together with Serbia and

Montenegro to frame the realm of

Yugoslavia Serbs Croats Bosnians and

Slovenes were siblings all things considered

isolated it appeared to be simply by governmental issues

servo-Croatian was even made the boss

language of the realm verbally expressed in nearby

assortments by a larger part of

Yugoslavia in two separate letter sets however

similar to genuine companions who become

flatmates in school

the Serbs Croats Slovenes and others

before long tracked down that residing in a similar house

together was a smidgen more troublesome than

expected the Croats on one hand preferred

nearby independence while the Serbian

government in Belgrade leaned toward more

incorporated control which prompted Croats

being vigorously abused in the realm

being viewed as a danger to Hyuga Slav

patriotism and even as separatists now

take this with a spot of salt it

was the period of misleading publicity all things considered however

to say the very least the Croats

weren't excessively content with the Serbian

government and they had the motivation to be

particularly when the Yugoslav King

changed the country into a

tyranny after the death of

Croatian pioneer Stepan radish in 1929  it

was beginning to feel like joining

Yugoslavia was more of a shackle than a

liberation for Croatia and you'd be

forgiven for agreeing with them but this

the story doesn't have a happy ending the

the situation in Croatia was a breeding

ground for extremists many of them

lurched to the right and created the Oh

Stasi a fascist party and terrorist

group, it was these who stay she that the

Nazis would target collaborators to

their regime two years into the Second

World War

after a pro-western coup d'etat

overthrew the Yugoslav government

Germany Italy and the other Axis powers

invaded and annexed Yugoslavia the

Germans set up the puppet state of

independent Croatia placing the Eustachy

in power the fascist of stache II

committed numerous atrocities under ante

Pavelic including genocide against Serbs

Jews and Roma and ran the infamous eosin

avec concentration camps many resistant

groups were created in the opposition's the

axis but the most successful by far was

the Yugoslav partisans a socialist and

Yugoslavia's stolen tear force led by one

Josip Broz Tito they led a successful

guerrilla campaign against the occupying

Axis forces as well as the Eustache II

and when the war was coming to an end

the partisans went on a brutal campaign

against the captured starchy and axis

soldiers that resulted in the massacre

of thousands of perceived enemies guilty

or otherwise the wartime chapter of

Yugoslavia doesn't get as much attention

outside of the former Yugoslavia as it

probably should but the devastation that

was brought into the country both

internally and externally is vital to

understanding the postwar story of

Croatia Josip Broz Tito as it turns out

was the glue that would be needed to

keep Yugoslavia together as there was

nothing but bad blood after the war Tito

was an idealist a socialist a national

hero and a symbol of the United Brotherhood

himself being half Croat and half

Slovene and an advocate for the famous

Third Way stance during the Cold War but

peace would die with Tito in 1980

nationalism and self-determination

filled by decades of resentment and

hatred coupled with a massive downturn

in the economy, Yugoslavia was breathing

its last breath I've been planting seeds

throughout this video about what

ultimately led to the balkanization the

division of the west and the eastern

empire the great schism between

Catholics and orthodoxy the atrocities

of the crusades on orthodox Christians

the union with the Hapsburgs versus the

annexation by the ottomans the

introduction of Islam and the Catholic

counter-reformation fascists supported

by the axis in Croatia partisans

supported by the USSR and right at the

top of that list the writing system

Cyrillic used by one brother

Lattin buy another for the same language

the division of the Balkans goes back

centuries and Yugoslavia was just too

different too entrenched too suspicious

and too dogmatic to stay together

centuries are pulling the same people

apart could not be solved in the less

than 100 years of Yugoslavia's existence

the Yugoslav wars are a relatively

recent tragedy the only major war on

European soil since the fall of Berlin

in 1945 made vastly more complicated

because the territory comprising of the

Yugoslav Croatia also had a large

a minority of Serbs who started uprisings

to break away from Croatian control

ethnic and religious lines don't always

follow the national boundaries when

writing this I didn't really know how to

conclude this video other than just

take a moment and reflect on that fact

Croatia and its people have won their

independence and you'd be hard-pressed

to argue that that's a bad thing but the

the road there came with oppression war

dominance by foreign powers of every

variety and stained with an adult blood

the interesting philosophical debate on

how these things could have been

different if Rome hadn't divided if the

churches hadn't split if the Ottomans

had won at the siege of Vienna these are

all interesting things for me to wonder

and it is in that vein that I'd like to

Share something with you one of the most

amazing series I've had the pleasure of

finding the butterfly effect a

historical animated series with

absolutely breathtaking art and editing

covering a vast array of historical

scenarios like Rome versus the

barbarians which uncover the key

crossroads and decisions that change the

the face of the Balkans forever.
