Greater Croatia Croatian: Velika Hrvatska is the term applied tocurrents within Croatian nationalism. In one sense, it sent to a territorial scope of the Croatian people, emphasising the ethnicity of those Croats living outside Croatia. In the political sense, though, the term pointed to an irredentist impression in the equivalence between the territorial scope of the Croatian people as well as that of the Croatian state.
Amid rising ethnic tensions between Croats in addition to Serbs in the 1930s, an autonomous state within Yugoslavia, called the Banovina of Croatia was peacefully negotiated in the Yugoslav parliament via the Cvetković–Maček Agreement of 1939. Croatia was united into a single territorial section & was presented territories of parts of present-day Vojvodina, and both Posavina and southern parts of present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina, which had Croatian majority at the time.
