1864 CE to 1875 CE

The Croatian leadership is divided after 1868 between advocates of a South Slav union and nationalists favoring a Greater Croatia; a bitter rivalry develops between the Croats and Serbs.

Bishop Josip Strossmayer dominates the Croatian South Slav movement and support liturgical concessions to help reduce the religious differences dividing Croats and Serbs.

In pursuit of a South Slav cultural union, he founds the South Slav Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1867 and the University of Zagreb in 1874.

Ante Starcevic opposes Strossmayer, presses for a Greater Croatia, and founds an extreme nationalist party.
