Everything about State Of Slovenes Croats And Serbs totally explained
The
State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs was a short-lived state formed from the southernmost parts of the
Austro-Hungarian monarchy after its dissolution at the end of the
World War I by the resident population of
Slovenes,
Croats and
Serbs.
Name
In
Slovenian, the state was known as
Država Slovencev, Hrvatov in Srbov, in
Croatian as
Država Slovenaca, Hrvata i Srba, and in
Serbian as Држава Словенаца, Хрвата и Срба or
Država Slovenaca, Hrvata i Srba.
Note that the
Serbs referred to in the State's name were those resident in
Bosnia and Herzegovina,
Croatia-Slavonia (including
Syrmia) and
Dalmatia (including
Boka Kotorska and
Montenegrin Littoral up to
Spič near
Bar), not the populations of the
Kingdom of Serbia (which included territory of present-day
Republic of Macedonia),
Kingdom of Montenegro and
Vojvodina (including
Banat,
Bačka and
Baranja).
History
The State was officially formed on
October 29,
1918. Its governing body was the National Council (
Narodno vijeće), composed
ad hoc of influential politicians at the time. The President was a Slovene, Dr
Anton Korošec. The two vice presidents were a Serb,
Svetozar Pribićević, and a Croat,
Dr Ante Pavelić (not to be confused with
Ante Pavelić, the leader of the regime set up by the Axis Powers in Croatia in 1941).
The aspirations of the new state were to include all territories of former
Austria-Hungary inhabited by Slovenes, Croats and Serbs. However, the
Serbs in Vojvodina (including the
Banat,
Bačka and
Baranja regions) objected to this and formed their own administration under the supreme authority of the Serbian National Board in
Novi Sad. Vojvodina then joined to the
Kingdom of Serbia on
November 25,
1918. One day before this, on
November 24,
1918, the region of
Syrmia, which at first was part of the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs, seceded from this state and also joined the Kingdom of Serbia.
In order to avoid handing the navy to the winners, the Austrian Emperor gave the entire
Austro-Hungarian Navy and merchant fleet, with all harbours, arsenals and shore fortifications to the National Council of SCS. They in turn sent diplomatic notes to the governments of
France, the
United Kingdom,
Italy, the
United States of America and
Russia, to notify them that the State of SCS wasn't at war with any of them and that the Council had taken over the entire Austro-Hungarian fleet. However, the fleet was soon attacked and dismembered by the Italian
Regia Marina.
The state wasn't internationally recognized before the National Council joined it with the
Kingdom of Serbia (which already had joined with the
Kingdom of Montenegro,
Vojvodina, and
Syrmia), and formed the
Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes on
1 December 1918.
