Sažetak
The article deals with the genesis of the Young Croat Movement, and provides an analysis of its structure, significance and activity in the first phase of its existence, that is, until its separation in 1910 from Starčević’s Croatian Party of Rights, in the framework of which the movement developed till then. The basic thesis of the article is that the essence of all youth movements in Croatia at the beginning of the twentieth century, including the essence of the Young Croat Movement, should be sought in the politicisation of high school youth, aimed at connecting that youth, as early as that time, to particular political programmes. Consequently, the essence of the Young Croat Movement, which started in 1907, was the “recruiting of future soldiers” for Starčević’s Croatian Party of Rights among the high school youth. The article is made on the basis of the previous results of historiography and on the basis of the analysis of archival sources, brochures, memoirs and especially texts printed in the publications of contemporary high school and university students and political parties. Particular units within the topic are ordered chronologically: one after the other, they analyse the balance of power within the University of Zagreb until the appearance of the Young Croat Movement, the appearance of rival youth movements, the appearance of the Young Croat Movement and its activity in the first years of its existence, and, finally, the state of that movement at the moment of its separation from its parent political party – that is, Starčević’s Croatian Party of Rights.
