Croatian generals in World War I
Despite peace and a peaceful life being a part of core human wishes and thinking, history is, in reality, marked by continuous warfare. Croatian history is not an exception to the rule as it is also marked by countless wars that devastated Croatian territory or by Croatian soldiers and generals fighting wars far beyond the Croatian borders. It is enough to remember the 20th century when Croats and Croatia were exposed to the destruction of three wars – World War I, World War II and the Croatian War of Independence.
