CROATIAN ETHNIC TERRITORY AND THE MULTIETHNIC COMPOSITION OF CROATIA AS A RESULT OF POPULATION MIGRATIONS
Ivan CRKVENČIĆ
Abstract
its surroundings (especially in the East), are to a certain
extent a reflection of historical incidents, caused by the
geopolitical position of this part of Europe. These incidents
led to great migrations within this area, but also into
neighbouring parts of Europe, and even across the oceans
to other continents. It was my wish to point out in this article
some major courses of migration, i.e. those which changed
an expanse into the form of the Croatian ethnic territory
(the Croatian ”horse-shoe”), those that brought about a
strong emigration of the autochtonous Croatian population
(the creation of the Croatian diaspora) and at the same time
the immigration of other nationalities (our national
minorities) to Croatian territory.
