On 6/28/1921, Croatia faced a significant political event when the 3rd Vidovdan Constitution was adopted. This moment was marked by strong opposition from Croatian representatives. The constitution, named after the feast day of St. Vitus, attempted to centralize power in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, which later became Yugoslavia. The document aimed to create a unitary state structure that was heavily criticized for diminishing the autonomy of Croatia and other regions. The adoption of this constitution escalated tensions between different ethnic groups within the kingdom, contributing to political unrest and further divisions. #Croatia #VidovdanConstitution #PoliticalUnrest #Centralization #KingdomOfSHS #Yugoslavia
