== Peter Z's Notes ==
The claims cited in the ''While Visiting the Croatia Coast'' statement is news to me. Researching its content (I've started to add references to it). So far it seems to me to be not too far from the truth, however more research (may be a few years) is needed.
*''Firstly'' I have problems with population stats.
* ''Secondly'' it appears to me that the region has problems with interpreting multicultural and ''multiethnic'' history (& societies).

'''Latin'''/Illyrian/Slavic communities history of the historic ''Republic of Ragusa'' '''&''' ''Republic of Venice'' became a political football for the former Communist Yugoslavia.
* Republic of Ragusa was set up by Latin/Illyrian families.
* Republic of Venice was set up by Latin families.
Slavic communities latter become part of these City States, which latter became republics.
Famous mixed marriages within these communities :
* Roger Joseph Boskovich (Republic of Ragusa)
* Fausto Veranzio (Republic of Venice)
Parents where [[Italy|Italian]] & Croatian.
Austro-Hungarian census '''1816''' registered: 66 000 Italian speaking people among the 301 000 inhabitants of Dalmatia.

===Republic of Ragusa===
''Republic of Ragusa'' was set up by Latin/Illyrian families. The Republic's city, Ragusa (today called Dubrovnik) was established in the 7th century, post Slavic and Avar invasions. The refugees from Epidaurum (a Roman city) built the settlement in Dalmatia, today in southernmost modern Croatia. Over the centuries the City State-Ragusa started to have relations with the Slavic hinterland, then called Red Croatia (this term for the region cease to be used from the 11th century onwards). Ragusa itself become an independent state in 1358.
The Croatians (Slavs) some time in the middle ages stated to be part of the Republic's population. There is a theory that the Croatisation of the region started to happen in the 19-century with the Republic becoming part of the [[Austria|Austro-Hungarian]] Empire (then called the Habsburg Monarchy). The second theory is that it was much earlier.
It's quiet possible that both are wrong and that the Republic was for centuries a multicultural and ''multiethnic'' society! It's ruling class were of mostly of Latin decent, but not all!

== While Visiting the Croatia Coast==
While visiting the '''Croatia''' coast (Dalmatia) of the Adriatic Sea, western journalists usually admire her ancient towns. They notice almost everywhere that the regional architecture is “heavily influenced” by a “Venetian” flavour. Years ago, a famous chef posing in front of a XVI century Dalmatian building for a documentary, claimed that its architecture was “quintessentially Croatian“. In the past, certain Western writers were almost convinced (and disgusted) that Croatians “imitated” Venetian and Italian Renaissance architecture in building Dalmatian towns.
