Sažetak
In the Karađorđević state - the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (SHS), later the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, from its first day of existence in the beginning of December 1918 until the establishment of the Banate of Croatia (Banovina Hrvatska) in August, 1939, Croats and Croatia were in an unequal position in the administrative, political, economic and cultural sense. in reality, the ruling Greater Serbian circles with the Karađorđević Dynasty at its head had been using different forms of political terror and other sorts of repression in order to remain in power not only in Croatia but in the entire country. In Croatia, where the opposition was most developed and best organized, the political and various types of pressures, even open terror, including organized political assassinations, generally characterized social life.
These characteristics of the political and social life were reflected in the contemporary press. Several newspapers, especially those from Zagreb, the center of the Croatian opposition political parties, frequently wrote about the role of Croatia and Croats and about particular segments of their political life, despite the bans and confiscation. They were an important factor during that period in creating public opinion, being for today's historians an indispensable source in the research.
