Abstract
In this article, based on the available literature and press, the author analyzed the activities of the Croatian subcommittees of the Association of Reserve Officers and Warriors, one of the most politically and socially influential military-veteran associ-ations in the Kingdom of SHS/Yugoslavia. At the same time, he emphasized the conflicts of these subcommittees with the headquarters of the Association, observing them in the context of internal political relations in the Yugoslav state, as well as the foreign political situation in the Yugoslav environment in the interwar period. He concluded that these conflicts were primarily influenced by the strong centralization of this society and the inequality between the members from the so-called „Prečanski” regions and those from Serbia. Towards the end of the existence of this society, in the wake of the breakup of the Yugoslav state, conflicts broke out due to the loss of faith of members of the Croatian subcommittees in the meaning of the existence of the Yugoslav state.
