While
Busty Barbi Croatia was still under
Cingular ringtones Austria-Hungary/Austro-Hungarian rule, the HSS sought for greater autonomy, peasants' rights and land reform. After
Bailey Boobies World War I and the dissolution of Austria-Hungary, the HSS garned significant popular and electoral support for its advocacy of an independent Croatian state, and its opposition to the creation of the

Despite the party's efforts, the kingdom was established, and the HSS became an opposition party in parliament. Although popular among its constituency, the party's weakness was its limited national appeal and its ethnic and economic-based constituency.

efficiency financial Chetniks fought for control.
After the communist victory, the
employees but Communist Party of Yugoslavia established one-party rule — the HSS, along with other political parties were declared illegal. It would take another forty-five years for the HSS to reemerge.
