Social Changes in the Croat-Slavonic Vojna krajina (Border-Land) after Cessation of Financing from the lnner-Austrian States

Abstract

In the middle of the 18th century the organization and financing of the Croat-Slavonic Vojna krajina was from the Inner-Austrian States taken over by the Vienna Central Offices. A number of long-term structural changes of social circumstances in Vojna krajina followed: militarisation and bureaucratisation of the Vojna krajina society, introduction of regular census and conscription lists, integration of civil territories into Vojna krajina, interdiction of partitlon of families and decreeted reviving of co-operative societies, uniforming the population etc. The population preserved the independant peasant status, the new self-financing saved the state many expenses.
