Origin of the language
Croatian is a South Slavic language and is derived from Old Church Slavonic. In the 19th century, South Slavic nations merged into a united kingdom and unified their very similar languages. The 20th century Yugoslavia used Serbo-Croatian to maintain unity across the country.

Etymology
The name of Croatia (Croatian: Hrvatska) derives from Medieval Latin Croātia, itself a derivation of the native ethnonym of Croats, earlier Xъrvatъ and modern-day Croatian: Hrvati

History
In 1991, against the backdrop of a sharp intra-republican conflict between Serbs and Croats, Croatia declared independence.

Iceland was the first to recognize the new country on December 19, 1991. The declaration of independence by Croatia and Slovenia-Pictogram.png Slovenia  marked the beginning of the collapse of the SFRY.

After the declaration of independence, interethnic clashes in the republic turned into a war in Croatia, which lasted until the end of 1995.

Finally, the integrity of Croatia was restored in 1998.
