Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is the research of immigration and emigration trends of the population in the period from 1910 to 1961/71 in the areas Istria, Rijeka and Zadar, and the islands Cres, Lošinj and Lastovo. These areas were annexed to Yugoslavia after World War II, more precisely to the republics Croatia and Slovenia, while between the wars they were under the rule of Italy. The point of departure in the analysis is the 1846 ce nsus conducted in Croatian (the mother tongue), which is then compared with the 1880 census based on the business language ("umgangs- -sprache") by means of which the number of the Italian population was administratively increased. In analysis and necessary correction of later censuses, the author had reached the following findings. Between the wars, under the fascist regime, there were 53 thousand Croats evicted, while 44 thousand Italians were settled in the Istria and Rijeka region. After World War II 163 thousand ltallans and 25 thousand Croats emigrated from Istria, Rijeka and Zadar, and also from the islands Cres and Lošinj, amounting to 188 thousand people.
