Abstract

The author analyses the denotative, the connotative and the metrical meaning of the term national feeling. Then he goes on to talk about the national feeling of Croats who used to have many problems connected with national identification. Their patriotism was chanelled towards the creation of their own state. Because of that they were acused of nationalism, chauvinism and genocidal tendencies. Despite that, they opted for a state of their own, managed to defend it from the armed aggresion of a numerically and technically incomparably stronger enemy, thanks to social integration brought about by patriotism and love of country. However, owing to to the constant pressure, the national feeling was accompanied by a feeling of guilt so that one fraction of Croats adopted the negative national identification.
