Croatian Krajina
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Croatian Krajina is a territory formed out of the then Banovina of Croatia in the late 15th century on the border of the Habsburg Empire and the Ottoman Empire, as part of the Military Frontier. It existed until 1882, when it was incorporated into Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia.

This part of the Military Frontier included the geographic regions of Lika, Kordun, Banija and bordered the Adriatic Sea to the west, Venetian Republic to the south, Habsburg Croatia to the west, and the Ottoman Empire to the east.
It extended onto the Slavonian Krajina near the confluence of the Una river into Sava. Like the rest of the Military Frontier, it ceased to exist as a political entity in the late 19th century.
Croatian Krajina included three sections: Varaždin borderland (Bilogora and Podravina), Karlovac Borderland (Lika and Kordun), and Zagreb Borderland (Banija/Banovina).
