Abstract

In the 18th and 19th centuries White Carniola had appropriate transport connections between individual cities, towns and villages, but poor links to the rest of Carniola. Despite the border and the Kolpa river, the province had better connections to Croatia. The situation began to change at the end of the 19th and the early 20th century, just prior to World War I, when White Carniola, too, obtained a railway connection to Carniola on one hand and Croatia on the other.
