Who had the most influence on Croatia throughout history?

[Sisak]

The question relates to the culture, mentality and architecture.

[Szegedist]

I think there should be a poll.

[Archduke]

Autria-Hungary mainly, but i guess it depends on the region.

Also Yugoslavia (Serbia) to a lesser extent.

[Szegedist]

No Hungary or Austria???

[Arbërori]

Austro-Hungary.

[Sisak]

No Hungary or Austria???

This is a miss. I puted only 10 options and there was no place for more countries.

[Dacul]

Autro-Hungarian Empire,clearly.

Still, a bit strange to miss out two nations you have a lot in common with, while include many nations you had little to none contact with throughout history.


Personally I think Hungary, especially for Slavonia&Zagorie. The Pacta conventa lasted from 1102 until 1918 which is a quite a long time. Second is Austria, third is probably Italy(especially for Dalmatia).

[Pontios]

Austria and Hungary

[Szegedist]

Autro-Hungarian Empire,clearly.


Austria-Hungary empire existed first in 1867, Croat history started a lot earlier than that!

[Sisak]

I don't know how to change the poll. Can someone put CZesh-slovakia, Albania and Turkey/Ottoman Empire?

And also Greece.

[archangel]

How could Czechoslovakia first created in 1920 possibly have any impact on Croat mentality, culture and architecture?

[Szegedist]

So how did they influence you?

[Pontios]

Croatia wouldn't have even come close to what it is now, without the help of the Austria-Hungary empire. And for that we are all thankful.

[Sisak]

Austria-Hungary for most parts
When people say Albania I think they mean old influences illyrian influences
Other ex Yugoslav states

I also think that the Croats have similarities with Albanians, especially Slavonia. What do you think, which Croatian region has the most similarities with Albanians?

[Rudel]

Austria, Hungary and Italy.
