What does this have to do with my request? You claimed that Croatia recently gained land in the last war when the fact of the matter is that Croatia's borders have been unchanged since 1945 when it had lost land to Serbia and Bosnia-Hercegovina thanks to the redrawing of borders by Tito's Communists.

Here is the map of Croatia (Banovina Hrvatska) from 1939-1941 that was agreed upon by Serbian and Croatian politicians who were engaged in reforming Royalist Yugoslavia (Cvetkovic-Macek Agreement):

Here's a map of Croatia in its borders from 1945 to the present (unchanged by the last war):

Now, as you can see, the Republic of Croatia (both during communist times and at present) lost much of its territory to Bosnia-Hercegovina and also lost several counties in Eastern Srijem to Serbia (Vojvodina). The latter land issue was decided by a commission headed by Milovan Djilas, a Montenegrin Serb Politburo member. Croatia received Baranja, a majority Croatian region as well as Istria, also a majority Croatian region.

Hahaha, nice try student of the Pavelic drawn map with the help of Hitler and Nazi Germany. Show the map before Pavelic and his blood suckers. Not the one Croats wished for but the real one recognized internationally.

Look we can go round and round and I know your sources and why you use them. The fact is your a hard core Nationalistic Nazi Croat who thinks he has done a greater service to God, church and country than any other nation on earth.

I'm not trying to change your mind nor am I open to being persuaded into your cult. I understand our differences and perhaps we can leave it at that.
