In 1351, Croatia entered into a significant union with Hungary known as the Union of Croatia and Hungary, which lasted for centuries. This political and dynastic union brought about various changes in Croatia's governance, administration, and culture. The union meant that the two kingdoms, though independent entities, shared a common ruler, which at times led to tensions and power struggles. Throughout the union, Croatia maintained some degree of autonomy, including its own parliament and separate laws. However, it also faced challenges in balancing its identity with the influence of the Hungarian crown. This period had a lasting impact on Croatia's history, shaping its political landscape and cultural development for generations to come. #Croatia #UnionofCroatiaandHungary #HistoryLessons
