Trying to re-tell the history of this part of the world (Old Dalmatia) is fraught was problems. The Yugoslav Communist party was the main driving force in all social matters within the former Yugoslavia. It created historic falsehoods to promote its own political authoritarian agenda.

We can definitely confirm that from the 9th century onwards that there were '''two ethnic''' communities living on the island in the middle ages, one being of Roman Empire descendant and the other of Croatian-Slavic descendant. With the Serbian forces being annihilated in the Battle of Kosovo by the Ottoman Empire in 1389 a migration of peoples stated to migrant west ward. Dalmatia as did the island of Korcula started to acquire new peoples in its region (i.e., Croatians, Serbs & Albanians). This combined with the Black Plague depleting the island population the Venetian authorities brought new families to Korcula.

If the translation of the ''Defence of Korcula''

If we use this as a reference then from 1570s onwards the majority of Korcula's population was of Croatian-Slavic decent.
