The emergence of Crotian nationalism: Nationalist people and organizations in the first half of the 19th century

National movements in Croatia (end XVII and first half of the nineteenth century) is the theme that describes the national (Revival) movement in what is now the Republic of Croatia (Slavonia and Dalmatia with Istria). Through this thesis we will briefly describe the basic external and internal influences that shaped this national (Revival) movement, as well as the historical background that influenced their design. A lot of attention will be given to the marking of the population of the region of Slavonia and Dalmatia in the past, in order to obtain a clearer picture of this complex issue. The first part of the thesis will be devoted to theories about the origin of the Croatian Ethnus. Later on, it will be given more details about the influences on the design and direction of the Revolutionary Movement. In the first place, there are different influences; influence of the church, economic influence, influence of the other ethnos, influence of pan-Slavism, influence of the Ottoman, Greek, and Roman period. At the very least it will be given some basic information about the main elements of the revival movement in Slavonia and Dalmatia in the end XVII and first half of the nineteenth century. Here we primarily think of the main actors of the Revolutionary Movement, the institution that contributed to the realization of the movement, the important events and the media through which the movement manifested itself. This thesis will try to illuminate the problem of the revival (national) movement in Slavonia and Dalmatia. It will try to illustrate in a simple way, the complexity of creating a nation in the 19th century, and shaping it into an modern Country.
