In 1925, King Alexander declared a dictatorship in Croatia, exacerbating tensions within Yugoslavia. The establishment of this authoritarian rule by the king led to a significant backlash from the Croatian population, who felt marginalized and oppressed under the new regime. The move to consolidate power in the hands of the monarchy contributed to the growing dissent among various ethnic groups within Yugoslavia, creating a powder keg of nationalist sentiments that would eventually explode in the years to come. This moment marked a decisive shift in the political landscape of Croatia and set the stage for future conflicts and struggles for independence. #CroatiaHistory #KingAlexander #Dictatorship #YugoslaviaTensions
