Croatian leaders surrender to British forces during WWII.

Following a period of political turmoil and conflict during World War II, Croatian Prime Minister Nikola Mandić and Marshal Slavko Kvaternik surrendered to British forces in 1945. This event marked the end of the puppet Independent State of Croatia, which had been established by the Axis powers. The surrender represented a significant moment in Croatian history, leading to the eventual restoration of the country's independence and sovereignty. It symbolized the defeat of fascist ideologies and the beginning of a new era for Croatia. The surrender of these key figures to British forces played a crucial role in shaping the country's future and its path towards establishing a democratic government. #Croatia #NikolaMandić #SlavkoKvaternik #BritishForces #WorldWarII #Independence
