Merriam Press Military History. Lika is a region of Croatia known for its soldiers and poverty. This history of Lika has been divided into four epochs: the first, ancient Lika, when Lika was part of the Roman Empire; the second, Slav-Croatian Lika, that existed prior to the arrival of the Ottomans, when Lika was integrated into the European feudal system; the third, the Turkish wars, when the Habsburgs and their army controlled Lika; the fourth, from the 19th century to the present, when the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, the country that became Yugoslavia, replaced Austrian rule in Lika. The author's family is from the Lika region of western Croatia. This is the only known history of Lika in English.

As Europe descended into war the newly formed state of Croatia found itself an ally in Nazi Germany. Tens of thousands of Croatians volunteered for the German Wehrmacht, with Croatian-badged units created within the Army, Navy, Luftwaffe, Waffen-SS and Police force. When Hitler turned his attention to Stalin's Soviet Union many of these men found themselves thrown into the fray, with Croatian soldiers serving at Stalingrad, fighting Tito's Partisans in the Balkans and battling against the advancing Red Army in Hungary. Aided by detailed illustrations, author Vladimir Brnardic explores the uniforms and equipment of World War II Croatian Legionaries.

Under Hor's protection, a pagan deity of Sun and war and the supreme God of the early Croatian pantheon, the warrior nation of Croats (Old Croat. Hrvuati) travels on the track of the Sun, setting off at dawn from the Asian vastness in the East, toward the setting Sun and a new homeland in which they will find a home and accept Christianity. The Croatian legendary saga from the Island of Krk - On the Track of the Sun - The Red Warriors from Chorasmia follows the history of the Croatian people through ancient centuries and many lands in which they lived, in a way it is seen in the Croatian folklore. The story is narrated through generations of noble families of Krk, Zic Mikulin and Mrakovčic Pavlic, and finally written down in 1951 in a small town Punat in the Island of Krk, in an archaic and very specific local Chakavian dialect of the Croatian language that takes us to the early Slavic and Pre-Slavic history with its many unusual archaic words. This epic saga tells the story of the arrival of Croats in the Adriatic, their lives and migrations during a thousand years of history, bounded by two historical battles. It seems like the first one describes the defeat of the army of Artabanus I, the king of the Parthian Empire in 124 or 123 BC against the nomadic tribes from the east, described by the Roman historian Justin (JUSTIN, Epitomes, XLII). The second one describes the triumph of the Croatian Prince Branimir's fleet against the Doge of Venice Pietro I Candiano's squadron in the battle of Puntamika in the Zadar canal on 18 September 887. This long epic story starts in the Imperial castle on the river Tigris and follows the Croatian people on the journey from the empire Chorasmia, across the Afghan Arachosia (old Persian Harauvatis) to the Black Sea river basin. After they arrived in the area between the Volga and Don, according to the saga fable, the Croats spread across the Bug and Dnieper to the Carpathians and established a large state with the capital Horovo. The Croatian state spreads farther north along the Vistula and to the Danube on the west. Finally, the Croatian people arrive in Illyricum via two routes, by land, which is known to us during the history, and naval, with thousands of boats across the Black and Aegean Sea to the eastern Adriatic coast. The entire oral literature of a small island town and its ancient generations, kept for hundreds and even thousands of years through oral transmission of the people, has reached our time in which it was written down. The extensive transmission of aristocratic descent and content, with an immensely beautiful narrative, not only explains and complements the events described in the Saga, but offers a new, unusually interesting view of the early history and ethnogenesis of the Croats and Slavs and coindicates with the work of many domestic and world scientists, archeologists and historians. Its significance goes beyond the Croatian scope, and will certainly stand side by side with the most beautiful works of Slavic and world folklore. Although it was written only in the middle of the 20th century, it is extremely valuable because it was preserved in the folklore together with a few hundred shorter stories and songs, with which it deeply permeates and complements. The ones who had read The Croatian story - On the Track of the Sun - The Red Warriors from Chorasmia compare it to the Nordic Hervarar saga, The Song of the Nibelungs and The Kalevala.

When in the fourth century the Roman empire split into the Western and Eastern empires, the boundary between the two stretched from the Montenegrin coast up the river Drina to the confluence of the Sava and the Danube and then further north. This boundary has remained virtually unchanged for 1,500 years: the European, Catholic West and the Orthodox East meet on Slav territory. There were, and still are, ethnic similarities between the peoples on either side of the divide, but their culture and history differ fundamentally. The Croats and Croatia, on the western side of the divide, are traditionally linked with Hungarian, Italian, and German regions and Western Europe, and are also influenced by their long Mediterranean coastline. Ivo Goldstein's Croatia provides a necessary, accessible history of development of what is now an independent state. Croatia includes major sections on the early medieval Croatian state (until 1101), the periods of union with Hungary (1102-1526) and with Austria (1526-1918), incorporation in Yugoslavia (1918-91) and the creation of a sovereign state. Charting social, economic, and cultural developments, Goldstein shows us that this complex historical pattern explains many of the political developments of today.

The fascist Ustasha regime and its militias carried out a ruthless campaign of ethnic cleansing that killed an estimated half million Serbs, Jews, and Gypsies, and ended only with the defeat of the Axis powers in World War II. Rory Yeomans analyzes the Ustasha movement's use of culture to appeal to radical nationalist sentiments and legitimize its genocidal policies. He shows how the movement attempted to mobilize poets, novelists, filmmakers, visual artists, and intellectuals as purveyors of propaganda and visionaries of a utopian society. Yeomans chronicles the foundations of the movement, its key actors and ideologies, and reveals the unique conditions present in interwar Croatia that led to the rise of fascism.

During World War II, Croatia became a fascist state under the control of the Ustasha Movement - allied with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. Here, Goran Miljan examines and analyzes for the first time the ideology, practices, and international connections of the Ustasha Youth organization. The Ustasha Youth was an all-embracing fascist youth organization, established in July 1941 by the `Independent State of Croatia' with the goal of reeducating young people in the model of an ideal `new' Croat. This youth organization attempted to set in motion an all-embracing, totalitarian national revolution which in reality consisted of specific interconnected, mutually dependent practices: prosecution, oppression, mass murder, and the Holocaust - all of which were officially legalized within a month of the regime's accession to power. To this end education, sport, manual work and camping took place in specially established Ustasha Youth Schools. In order to justify their radical policies of youth reeducation, the Ustasha Youth, besides emphasizing national character and the importance of cultural and national purity, also engaged in transnational activities and exchanges, especially with the Hlinkova mladez [Hlinka Youth] of the Slovak Republic. Both youth organizations were closely modelled after the youth organizations in Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. This is a little studied part of the history of World War II and of Fascism, and will be essential reading for scholars of Central Europe and the Holocaust.

This book traces the intellectual origins of race theory in the pro-Nazi Ustasha Independent State of Croatia, 1941-1945. This race theory was not, as historians of the Ustasha state have hitherto argued, a product of a practical accommodation to the dominant Nazi racial ideology. Contrary to the general historiographical view, which has either downplayed or ignored the important place of race, not only in Ustasha ideology and politics, but more generally in modern Croatian and Yugoslav nationalism, this work stresses the significant role that theories of ethnolinguistic origin and racial anthropology played in defining Croat nationhood from the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century. Upon the basis of older ideological and cultural traditions, the Ustasha state constructed an ideal Aryan racial type.

From open civil war in Bosnia and Georgia to the Russian president’s use of military units against an uncooperative parliament, civil-military conflicts in the former USSR and Yugoslavia are increasingly attracting world-wide attention and concern. This volume brings together fourteen essays that explore the roles of the armed forces in the ongoing struggles for control over the processes of state formation and government in these newly independent countries. Twelve chapters focus on the experiences of particular countries in the region; and introductory and concluding chapters draw out commonalities and differences among the cases, comparing them with one another as well as with post-authoritarian regimes elsewhere in the world.
