Croatian nationalism

Croatian nationalism is a political movement and ideology that advocates Croatian national identity, interests, and self-determination. Its aims and forms have varied across historical periods.

Illyrian movement: A nineteenth-century South Slav cultural and political movement centered in Croatia that promoted literary unity and national revival. It helped establish a modern Croatian national consciousness through language, literature, and cultural institutions.
Ljudevit Gaj: A Croatian writer and political activist who led the Illyrian movement and promoted linguistic reform. His cultural program helped provide a public language for nineteenth-century national revival.
Croatian language: A South Slavic language and the official language of Croatia, written primarily in the Latin alphabet. Standardization and public use of Croatian became prominent instruments of national identification.
Serbian nationalism: A political movement and ideology advancing Serbian national identity, interests, and political self-determination. Competing territorial and state projects brought Serbian and Croatian nationalisms into conflict, especially in Yugoslavia's breakup.
Croatian-Hungarian Settlement of 1868: An agreement defining Croatia-Slavonia's constitutional position within the Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen. Its limited autonomy became a focus of Croatian demands for greater self-government.
Ante Starčević: A nineteenth-century Croatian politician who advocated Croatian state rights and is often called the Father of the Homeland. His emphasis on Croatian political independence shaped a distinct strand of national thought.
Croatian state right: A historical legal-political doctrine asserting Croatia's rights as a distinct political community. National advocates used this doctrine to argue for Croatian autonomy and sovereignty.
Slovenian nationalism: A political movement and ideology advocating Slovenian national identity, interests, and self-determination. Its parallel push for independence offers a neighboring example of nationalism within socialist Yugoslavia.
Yugoslavism: A movement advocating political or cultural unity among South Slavs, especially through a shared Yugoslav identity. Its vision of South Slav unity sometimes competed with nationalism centered on Croatian sovereignty.
Stjepan Radić: A Croatian politician who led the Croatian Peasant Party and advocated peasant representation and Croatian autonomy. His mass politics made national autonomy a central issue in interwar Yugoslavia.
