Sažetak
Emigration from Slavonia from the end of the 19th century peaked between 1905 and 1910, after which the number of emigrants reduced, especially before World War I. The causes of emigration included the following: low profitability of agriculture, small tracts of land, industrialization, increase in the number of hired workers, increased Hungarization of Slavonia through highways and schools, party conflicts and political diversification of the Slavonian population.
Most emigrants settled in mining or agricultural areas, or in huge trade or industrial centers. Many disappointed emigrants returned home. Emigrants who decided to stay abroad often organized themselves with the help of Catholic missions to organize parties and cultural gatherings, but also in political and other interest organizations to help each other financially. After several generations they managed to get citizenship in their new country and became equal citizens there.
