CROATIAN ETHNIC TERRITORY AND THE MULTIETHNIC COMPOSITION OF CROATIA AS A RESULT OF POPULATION MIGRATIONS

Summary/Abstract: Contemporary political events in the Republic of Croatia and its surroundings (especially in the East), are to a certain extent a reflection of historical incidents, caused by the geopolitical position of this part of Europe. These incidents led to great migrations within this area, but also into neighbouring parts of Europe, and even across the oceans to other continents. It was my wish to point out in this article some major courses of migration, i.e. those which changed an expanse into the form of the Croatian ethnic territory (the Croatian ”horse-shoe”), those that brought about a strong emigration of the autochtonous Croatian population (the creation of the Croatian diaspora) and at the same time the immigration of other nationalities (our national minorities) to Croatian territory.
