Abstract

The paper analyses curriculum research in countries that have gone through extremely traumatic conflicts such as war, genocide, and civil war in the recent past (20th and 21st centuries). The emphasis is on conflicts from the recent past, but Finland, where a civil war was fought more than a century ago, is also used as a case study. In accordance with such an analysis, two questions are posed: where were past history curriculums in Croatia in relation to those in other countries, and what is the state of research in the new curriculum, history textbooks, and history teaching?
