Sažetak

This contribution presents an overview of the most relevant social and political circumstances which the Croatian people underwent in the course of the 20th century and similarly, in conjunction with them, the journal Život, or rather Obnovljeni Život. The significance and content of the journal is not discussed here, however the journal and its hundredth anniversary constitute a part of Croatian history. These are therefore indicated in the title and the article pays tribute to them. This paper discusses a series of social and political circumstances, caused by grave political injustices on the part of governing regimes and power structures, which were the plight of the Croatian people but did not reflect the people’s will. The essence of the injustice was the severe limitation on human rights and freedoms. Even in these circumstances the Croatian people sought a solution in the underpinnings of the enduring historical and cultural values of the nation which include the Catholic faith and the Holy See and which, owing to the changes in the world at the core of which was the Second Vatican Council, did in fact provide a solution. Since then, and after the fall of the Berlin Wall, change was inevitable. Greater Serbian aggression compelled the nation to lawfully defend itself and, with the help of God, gained a merited victory in the Homeland War (1991–1995) and also attained international recognition of its sovereignty as well as of its proper state — the Republic of Croatia (1992). This was followed by entry into NATO and the European Union within which Croatia is worthily esteemed. The Holy See gave Croatia immense support during the entire process, particularly the Holy Father John Paul II.
