The Ottomans and Croatia at the End of the Middle Ages (1458-1526)

In the collective imaginary of the Croats, the notion “antemurale christianitatis” is very much present up until today. This is certainly the consequence of centuries-long warfare on the Hungarian, Habsburg and Venetian borders with the Ottoman Empire, from the fifteenth to the nineteenth century. The so much praised and proudly emphasized above-mentioned notion during this period was, in fact, a gloomy and harsh reality for the Croatian lands and people, coupled with all possible kinds of existential threats. The price paid for all this was very high, both in political, as well as in economic and demographic terms.
