'''Croatia''', officially the '''Republic of Croatia''', is a country in the [[Balkans]] with a western coast on the [[Adriatic Sea]]. It borders [[Republic of Serbia|Serbia]] to the east, [[Bosnia and Herzegovina|Bosnia & Herzegovina]] to the southeast and [[Hungary]] and [[Republic of Slovenia|Slovenia]] to the north with the exclave of [[Dubrovnik]] also bordering [[Montenegro]] in the south. Modern Croatia is an [[Imperialism|imperialist]] country with membership of the [[European Union|EU]] and [[North Atlantic Treaty Organization|NATO]].<br />
<br />
After it seceded from [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (1945–1992)|Yugoslavia]] in 1991, the [[Neo-Nazism|neo-Nazi]] [[Franjo Tuđman]] ruled Croatia for most of the 1990s. By his death in 1999, [[unemployment]] was at least 20% even though the [[Croatian Democratic Union|ruling party]] lived in wealth.<ref name=":0">{{Citation|author=[[Michael Parenti]]|year=2000|title=To Kill a Nation|chapter=Croatia: New Republic, Old Reactionaries|page=41–49|pdf=https://leftychan.net/edu/src/1614706295182-3.pdf|publisher=Verso}}</ref><br />

== History ==<br />
<br />
=== Second World War ===<br />
From 1941 to 1945, Croatia was a [[Fascism|fascist]] state and member of the [[Axis of World War II|Axis]]. It had more soldiers per capita than any other Axis country, with 160,000 regular soldiers and 75,000 [[Ustaša – Croatian Revolutionary Movement|Ustaše]]. The Ustaše ran the [[Jasenovac death camp]] and killed 750,000 Serbs, 45,000 [[Judaism|Jews]], and at least 26,000 [[Roma]].<ref name=":0" /><br />

After declaring independence, Croatia began an [[Genocide|ethnic cleansing]] campaign and drove over 500,000 Serbs off their land, including 225,000 from [[Republic of Serbian Krajina (1991–1995)|Serbian Krajina]] in August 1995. [[North Atlantic Treaty Organization|NATO]] planes crushed the resistance of the Krajina serbs.<br />
<br />
Franjo Tuđman appointed Nazi collaborators to government posts, making [[Vinko Nikolić]] a member of parliament and [[Mate Sarlija]] a general. In 1994, the Croatian government ordered all non-white [[United Nations|UN]] troops to leave Croatia. Croatian [[police]] refused to protect Serbs, and non-Croats were denied jobs.<br />
<br />
After Tuđman's death in 1999, the ruling HDZ lost much of its support and was replaced by a centrist coalition.<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
== Censorship ==<br />
In the 1990s, Croatia rewrote textbooks to make them less [[Anti-fascism|anti-fascist]] and burned thousands of copies of the ''[[Encyclopedia of Yugoslavia]]''. It renamed the Square of the Victims of Fascism and named streets after fascist leaders including [[Mile Budak]]. Tuđman censored the media far more than [[Slobodan Milošević|Milošević]] in [[Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (1992–2006)|Yugoslavia]] and forced reporters to only call Serbs "Serb terrorists." He banned using Serbian words and the Cyrillic alphabet.<ref name=":0" /><br />
