King Aleksandar's division creation creates ethnic tension, failing to pacify the country as intended.

In 1929, King Aleksandar of Croatia attempted to pacify the country by creating new administrative divisions known as banovinas. However, instead of calming the ethnic tensions in the region, this move inadvertently provoked further unrest and heightened ethnic divisions among the various groups within Croatia. The banovinas were seen as favoring certain ethnic groups over others, leading to increased discontent and fueling nationalist sentiments. This moment in Croatian history marked a period of heightened ethnic tensions and growing unrest, setting the stage for future conflicts and struggles for autonomy within the region. #Croatia #KingAleksandar #Banovinas #EthnicTensions
