Abstract
Regions along Drava should be jointly connected through numerous factors. However, political changes caused separation and we can speak about Podravina of Maribor, Varaždin, Koprivnica, and Slavonia, with changes of allocation of that area within the framework of various administrative and state systems. After the introductory part, the paper places emphasis on comparison of changes in the periods from 1868 to 1918 and from 1918 to 1931 i.e. periods of Austrian-Hungarian empire and the state of Yugoslavia from 1918 to 1931, although such comparison should be made for all historical periods from prehistoric and antique times to the Middle Ages and the Modern Age. It can not be disputed that thanks to its position along the Drava river, the Podravina region should have corresponded with other regions along the Drava river, especially those with joint economic, trade and traffic interests, or where the people were struck with the same crisis or natural disasters. Sometimes politics caused the strengthening of northern and southern connections (1868 -1918) and from 1918 to 1931 the area experienced strong connection of eastern and western parts, but especially in the field of ethnoculture the factor of continuity was the one indicating the necessity of making connections.
