Croatian Political History Written in Verse 1920 - 1950

Hrvatska povijest dvadesetoga stoljeća možda je najburnije razdoblje hrvatskoga naroda. U samo trideset godina dogodila su se dva atentata na kraljeve, iako izvan teritorija Hrvatske koja je silom prilika promijenila četiri različite unije, odnosno zajednice. Nakon raspada Austro-Ugarske ulazi u Kraljevstvo SHS koje kasnije mijenja ime u Kraljevina Jugoslavija. Početkom Drugoga svjetskoga rata područje Hrvatske okupiraju vojne snage Trećega Reicha, a na vlast dolaze ustaše koji uspostavljaju Nezavisnu Državu Hrvatsku.. Istovremeno brojni književnici osjećaju nagle promjene i poteškoće hrvatskoga naroda, a neki od njih čak sudjeluju u političkim prevratima ili frakcijama. U ovomu radu, principom interpretacije odabranih pjesama, pokušat će se pojasniti povijesni koncept u kojemu književnici stvaraju pjesme te će se nastojati pobliže objasniti stajalište svakoga od pisaca i okolnosti u kojima su pjesme nastale. Pjesme su koncentrirane na velike i važne događaje te povijesne osobe koje su ostavile bitan trag u hrvatskoj povijesti kakvu mi pamtimo danas, a to su atentat na Stjepana Radića, organiziranje ustaškoga pokreta, sporazumno stvaranje Banovine Hrvatske, osnivanje Nezavisne Države Hrvatske te pobjeda antifašista i komunistička Jugoslavija pod vlašću Josipa Broza Tita.We could say that the history of 20th century in Croatia had been one of the worst periods. In only thirty years it had happened two assasinations and Croatian people lived in four different unions. After World War I and dissolution of Austro-Hungary, Croats made a pact with Kingdom of Serbia, and that unity was called Kingdom of Yugoslavia. At the beginning of World War II the area was occupied by the army of the Third Reich. So it began the establishment of Independent State of Croatia, or so called Nezavisna Država Hrvatska (NDH). That meant that the war between partisans, ustasche and chetniks have begun. In the meantime many of writers had been feeling those changes and difficulties, and some of them had been participating in political overturns. In this paper, we will interpret some of the poetry they had written so we can give them the history context and try to explain what have had they felt about the politics and wars that had been happening around them. Poetry is mostly about great history events and people who left the mark in the mind of those writers. Some of those events are assasination of Stjepan Radić, establishment of Independent State of Croatia, the victory of anti-fascists and Yugoslavia under the rule of Josip Broz Tito
