Odjek travanjskih nemira 1870. u Zagrebu na Kraljevsku veliku gimnaziju
THE REPERCUSSION OF ZAGREB APRIL RIOTS IN 1870 ON THE ROYAL HIGH SCHOOL

Summary/Abstract: Based on the materials from the State Archives in Zagreb, periodicals (Zatočnik, Narodne novine) and the relevant literature, the paper explores the conflicts between the Rightist Party (the Rightists) and the National Liberal Party (the Nationals), which in April of 1870 expanded from the Zagreb Square to the Royal High School. This was due to dissatisfaction of the Nationals by the Croatian-Hungarian Settlement and the ruling of the Unionist Levin Rauch, and to open animosity of the Rightists against the Nationals because of their conciliatory policy towards Austria. Investigation of student rioters and later conflicts of the teachers at the High School have been shown in great detail. The consequences that those events had both on students and teachers are identified, and the whole event has been discussed within the historical context. The activities of students and teachers were found to have elements of nonviolent resistance.
