Sažetak
The processes of the formation of Croatian national ideology and various types of nationalism that emerged from it came to be mainly a reaction to the fact that modernization was a comprehensive event, and therefore propulsive forces in society worked for or against this unpredictable machine. Cultural nationalism was the reaction of the local nobility, and in the Croatian case they exploited their municipal privilege when they had legitimate remains of the class liberties embodied in medieval parliament as the foundation of their historical right, but were not so eager to extend these rights to the people themselves. Demographic growth, with low purchasing power of agriculture workers and low output in production as the result of absence of investments, made Croatia excellent in the exporting of its people, creating a large diaspora. Industrialization through a modernization process from 1873 until 1939 made a solid productive basis for developing a second phase of industrialization. Uneven technological progress and monopolistic competition made pockets of the workforce capable for its further development. But all was destroyed during the Second World War, a war that had elements of genocide, civil war and international conflict. Demographic losses were most severe in the structure of the dynamic parts of the production force.
