THE NATIONALIST IDEOLOGY AND GENOCIDAL POLICIES OF THE USTAŠA MOVEMENT
Journal Title: Analele Universitatii Ovidius Constanta Seria Istorie - Year 2011, Vol 8, Issue 0
Abstract
This paper aims to review the core ideological beliefs of the Croatian Revolutionary Organization - Ustaša (Hrvatska Revolucionarna Organizacija - Ustaša), the repressive measures and murderous policies they engendered, as well as to contextualize these developments and highlight the determinant factors involved. The analysis will first touch upon the roots of Ustaša ideology, where it originated and who were the precursors of twentieth century promoters of Croatian nationalism. It will then explore the conditions under which Ustaša came into being and proceed to a thorough examination of its ideological program. The Ustaša regime's accession to power and the establishment of the Independent State of Croatia (Nezavisna Drzava Hrvatska) on 10 April 1941, marked a new chapter both in the history of the movement and of the country, one in which ideology was embodied in legislation and induced violent and uncompromising military action. The exterminationist approach employed by Ustaša throughout fascist Croatia between 1941 and 1945 will be assessed in the second and final part of the paper.
