Are Croats the big losers?

[Loki]

It seems in terms of population spread, they lost the most territory. Here is the map in 1918:

There was a map that I saw once, appareantly northern and central Serbs are actually Orthodox Croats, while the southern ones are Serbianized Bulgarians, Vlachs and Albanians. It is quite probable actually.

I think Archduke sent me such a map once.

Compared to who?

Not really, Croatia is bigger now than before WW1. They gained Dalmatia and Istria.

And loses Bosnia it seems. In Bosnia the main competitors for power are Bosnian Serbs and Bosniaks.

Depends what you mean by loses Bosnia. Croatia did control the territory of Bosnia in the past, but centuries leading up to WW1, Croatia did not have Bosnia. They gained it during WW2 in the form of NDH, but then lost it.

A better way of phrasing it would be "Croatia has yet to gain Bosnia, or parts of it", rather than losing it.


The biggest loser in terms of population spread, land, resources, was some other country

Oh, how clever, but not good enough

[Sultan Suleiman]

I don't see how Croats lost anything. They got a practically homogeneous nation by expeling half a million Serbs without "loosing face in the world", yeah they have secured the homogeneity of their country at the cost of losing Croat footholds in Bosnia.
