The Revolt of the Croatian Republican Peasant Party of Novigrad in 1924 against Great Serbian Politics
Marijan Maroja
Sažetak
After four years of Italian occupation, in 1923 Novigrad was returned to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. The coming of the army of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes under the Serbian flag was the cause of the first conflict. The inhabitants of Novigrad upturned the blue-white-flags to make them Croatian tricolors. Very soon the people came to recognize the Great Serbian arrangement of the new state. Injustice and oppression became parts of Croatian everyday life. Conscious of its position and possessing a developed national conscience the people gathered around the Croatian Republican Peasant Party of Stjepan Radić The people responded by revolting against the injustice of the new state and the challenges of its supporters. By disarming the hated police forces and by attacking those who were politically like-minded, under the slogan “Kill the police, we don’t want the Serbian peasant caps” the people took their stand against such a state and its authorities. The revolt was put down, many were imprisoned and sentenced to jail or were fined. These measures did not destroy the people’s resistance. In 1925 elections the Croatian Republican Peasant Party won in Novigrad and took over the offices of the municipality. That same year a magnificent celebration of the thousand anniversary of the Croatian Kingdom was celebrated. Through the celebration the people showed the indestructibleness of their resistance and voiced their aspiration for a free Croatian state.
