Abstract

The main focus of this paper are the fates of the residents of three Palanka municipalities (Old, New and Bačka Palanka): Serbs, Germans, Hungarians, Jews and Slovaks, participants of the Great War 1914-1918. Relying on scarce sources and on the available literature, the author of this paper tries to explore the correlations between citizens of Palanka, as well as their relations and connections with other Central European people, before, during and after the Great War; observed through their participation in the combined forces of Austro-Hungary and revolutionary movements from 1917 to 1919. The author also depicts the role of the citizens of Palanka in the shaping of the Central European post war creations of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenians and the First Czechoslovak Republic, as Serbian volunteers, members of the Czechoslovak Legion and as peoples’ representatives at the Great National Assembly of Serbs, Bunjevci and other Slavs in Novi Sad on the 25th November 1918.
