Since the Serbs were from the same ethnic background and spoke relatively the same language as the Croats, it was obvious that the major part of the Serbian refugees would seek shelter in Croat lands. the Croats weren't very pleased with the arrangements and the Serbs felt it during the following years. "The Moslem occupation lasted for five centuries: the Serbian refugees had to settle permanently in the regions inhabited by the Croats and which were part of the of the Austrian Monarchy. Born under those conditions, the Serbo-Croatian has been drown out until today." (Lavergne, 6) following the persecutions and deportations, the nations were lost and none of them were living in their respective territories. for example, Albanians were living in Serbian territory and the Serbs in Croatian lands. "The awakening of Nationalism in Europe in the course of the nineteenth century, despite the aspiration towards Liberalism ,took, in Croatia, the short sighted form of oppression against the Serbs." (Lavergne 7) the main claim of Croatian nationalism was the historical claim of territory. it is important to point out that the relationship between the two nations didn't go sour by itself but was worsened by exterior forces. From the influence of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to the Nazi occupation of former Yugoslavia, exterior dominator forces were also to blame for the situation. stirring up trouble for territorial or religious expansions and not realizing the consequences. " Vienna incited the Catholics against the Orthodox Serbs in order to contain Serbian expansion and to carry into effect her own policy which was revealed by the occupation and annexation of the province." (Lavergne 9) the very creation of Yugoslavia was a project realized by the allies after the First World War. it was a solution, the implantation of a democracy. It is now seen as a big mistake, realizing that unifying different nations with so much historical baggage was a certainty for disaster.
