Mustafa Selaniki, a 16th-century Ottoman chronicler who wrote about the siege of Szigetvár (Siget) in 1566, stated that one of Zrinski's sons carried a flag featuring a lion, the symbol of the Croats.

Izgleda da će Austrija napokon zasebno uvesti hrvatski jezik u škole umjesto dosadašnjeg modernog konstrukta "bosansko-hrvatsko-srpskog". Vrijeme je da se vrati povijesni narodni naziv. Iznimno bogata književno-jezična baština hrvatskog naroda pripada isključivo Hrvatima.

A winter night in Zagreb, 1933.

Vidim da neki koriste ovu snimku vojne parade na Jarunu 1997. kao dokaz Tuđmanove legitimizacije daljnje upotrebe zastave SRH. Naravno, potpuno ignoriraju zastavu s grbom s prvim bijelim poljem. To su bila neka stara vremena, kada se zastava s petokrakom mogla vijoriti uz zastavu s grbom i prvim bijelim poljem u službene svrhe. Vrijeme prije nego što su neki odlučili odbaciti Tuđmanovu pomirbu.

Wife of a Croatian officer (“Dame d’un Officier Croate”) Until the mid-19th century, European armies were not exclusively male as we often imagine today. Many women, sometimes entire families with children, followed the troops. Some accompanied their husbands or lovers, while others earned a living serving the army in various support roles, such as sutlers or laundresses. Some even disguised themselves as men to fight as soldiers, a practice strictly forbidden but often quietly tolerated. Early modern armies were survival communities in which women played a natural role. Though they appear in contemporary images, they remained largely unmentioned in official records. This drawing, according to the inscription, depicts the wife of a Croatian officer. Officer’s wives formed a privileged group, accompanying their husbands by choice rather than necessity. She wears a costume likely inspired by her husband’s regimental uniform: a short white military coat with red facings, tight Hungarian-style trousers visible beneath a flared white skirt, and a blue cloth-covered shako with a plume. Her horse is equipped like a hussar’s, draped with a wildcat pelt over the saddlecloth. Wife of an officer from a Croatian border regiment of the Austrian army (c. 1800).

"Дукљански Усташа"

Zagreb, 1987

The Horvaty family (Горваты) from present-day Belarus was a Catholic noble family active in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, later in the Russian Empire and interwar Poland. They descend from the Croatian soldier Jan Nikšić, who moved to Lithuania at the beginning of the 17th century, acquired nobility, was naturalized, and became a landowner. Over the following centuries, the Horvaty family grew into major landowners, owners of numerous estates and castles, and held significant administrative, military, and political positions in local and state authorities. 1/2

OGROMNA VIJEST: Nakon 30 godina, predsjednik nevladine udruge Veritas, Savo Štrbac, konačno je priznao da su "krajinski Srbi" napustili Hrvatsku "samoinicijativno" bez kontakta s hrvatskim snagama, a ne zato što ih je Hrvatska protjerala. Ante Gotovina proveo je sedam godina u pritvoru na temelju optuznice da su Srbi protjerani iz Hrvatske zbog straha od neselektivnog granatiranja. Štrbac je sada priznao da je sve to bila laž. nin.rs/politika/vesti…

@MountainMan185 Actually, it came from these guys... ☝️🤓

Fun fact. The term "Ustaša" politically came from the Montenegrins originally, some 20-30 years before it was adopted by the Croatians
