Their ancestors existed but didnt have sense of nation yet.
NW Croats cant be slovenians because they lived separated from them for 1000 years and under different political rule.
Slovenian consciousness was formed as being Slavs living surrounded by Germans and under their domination. Kajkavian Croats lived in different circumstances and they couldnt develop same identity.
There was more chance for them to become Hungarians than Slovenians. But being Slavic and under Croatian jurisdiction made them Croats. Simple as that and not different than many other Slavic tribes living under Serb jurisdiction and becoming Serbs.

Slovenians and Kaykavian Croatian lived in same empire for many centuries, in Habsburg empire. NW Croatia was part of Hungary from 1526 century to the 1918, and most of Slovenia was under the Austria except Prekomurje which was Hungarian part of empire. Before 1867 Hungary in Habsburg monarchy was more or less fictitious, Germans were older "brother" to Hungarians and Habsburg imperator was Hungarian king. Germans were superior towards the Hungarians, and Hungarians even more towards the Croatians.

Wrong. Border between inner Austria and Lands of Crown of St. Stephen was clearly defined. They had different laws, rulers, universities, militarry units etc.
Croatian feudal Parliament was based in Zagreb since 12th century as I already mentioned, and mostly filled with Croatian nobility.
In Austria Hungary many Slovenians went to study in Zagreb until Ljubljana was given slavic/slovenian language University etc.

It doesn't matter. You see I wouldn't mind at all if we are croatized Serbs let alone if NW Croats are croatized. Though you and those like you go on my nerves. 24/7 living in basement, watching and reading overly nationalistic media, no non-Serbs related posts on the TA, filling history holes with your own ideas and presenting them as mainstream etc. The first and necessary condition for good relations is respect.
