Abstract
The author reveals how the colonization of Slavonia and Srijem during the course of the war occurred along the lines of planned implementation. This colonization reached its height in the first year of the war (1941), and its organized implementation continued until 1943. Settlers came from poorer or war-torn regions of the NDH. The Institute for Colonization regulated the settling of eastern Croatia. Settlers were settled on expropriated large estates. According to sources, there was a majority of 70,000 settlers. After World War II, colonization of eastern Croatia resumed. In this wave of recolonization, 50,000 settlers arrived.
