===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 Republics 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!
