What, Where, and Why?
Croatia is a small European country located on the coast of the Adriatic Sea. If you are on of those geographical people, the country is located just south of Slovenia (big help I know) and just west of Serbia. Croatia is an
untapped paradise with a ton of vacation potential. Between its luxurious Dalmation Coast, and rolling hilled country side; it manages to keep its old world charm.
History
Croatia was once part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire up until WWI. Then Croatia was infused with several other countries to create the kingdom known as Yugoslavia in 1929. After WWII, Yugoslavia became a federal communist state under the USSR. In 1991, Croatia declared its independence, but it took four years of speradic, bitter fighting to push Serb armies out of the country.
