Heightened political and social tension in Croatia due to the start of WWII.

The beginning of the Second World War in Croatia in 1939 led to heightened political and social tension as the country became a battleground for various conflicting interests. The invasion and occupation by Axis powers brought significant changes, with Croatia eventually becoming a puppet state aligned with Nazi Germany. This period saw a rise in nationalist movements and collaboration with the occupying forces, as well as increased repression and violence towards minority groups. The impact of the war was deeply felt by the people of Croatia, shaping its history for years to come. #WWII #Croatia #AxisPowers #Occupation
