Abstract
After the blossoming of social life had resulted in rich activities of the early 20th century local society, the era of the World War One brought restrictions and bans to all societies and associations, except for the charities and humanitarian organizations. During the First World War, there were several humanitarian societies in Koprivnica and its vicinity, devoted to helping victims of war, the wounded and their families, widows and the families who lost their sons in battle, and all others, afflicted by the war. Particularly active societies were the Red Cross and Gentlemen's Charity. Other societies were either active on the eve of the WWI or in collaboration with the former two organizations.
