The Independent State of Croatia (Serbo-Croatian : Nezavisna Država Hrvatska , Независна Држава Хрватска, NDH; German : Unabhängiger Staat Kroatien ; Italian : Stato Indipendente di Croazia ), often referred to simply by the abbreviation NDH , was a World War II puppet state of Germany and Italy , which was established in parts of Axis-occupied Yugoslavia . The NDH was founded on 10 April 1941, after the invasion of Yugoslavia by the Axis powers . The NDH consisted of most of modern day Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina , together with some parts of modern-day Serbia . The regime targeted Serbs , Jews , Muslims and Roma people, as part of a large-scale genocide campaign in places such as the Jasenovac concentration camp .

In its judgement in the Hostages Case , the Nuremberg Military Tribunal concluded that NDH was in fact not a sovereign state. According to the Tribunal, "Croatia was at all times here involved an occupied country ".

The state was officially a monarchy and Italian protectorate from the signing of the Treaties of Rome on 18 May 1941 until the Italian capitulation on 8 September 1943. Appointed by Victor Emmanuel III of Italy , Prince Aimone, Duke of Aosta initially refused to assume the crown in opposition to the Italian annexation of the Croat -majority populated region of Dalmatia . He later accepted the throne upon being pressured to do so by Victor Emmanuel III and was titled Tomislav II of Croatia , but never moved from Italy to reside in Croatia

The state was actually controlled by the governing fascist Ustaše movement and its Poglavnik , Ante Pavelić , which in turn were primarily under the influence of Nazzi Germany . For its first two years up to 1943, the state was also a territorial condominium of Germany and Italy. Additionally, central Dalmatia was annexed directly into Italian territory as part of the irredentist agenda of an Italian Mare Nostrum ("Our Sea"). In 1942, Germany suggested Italy take military control of all of Croatia out of a desire to redirect German troops from Croatia to the Eastern Front . Italy however rejected the offer as it did not believe that Italy alone could handle the unstable situation in the Balkans.

After the ousting of Mussolini and the Kingdom of Italy's surrender to the Allies, the NDH on 10 September 1943 declared that the Treaties of Rome of 18 May 1941 with the Kingdom of Italy were null and void and annexed the portion of Dalmatia that had been annexed from Yugoslavia to the Kingdom of Italy in the Treaties of Rome. The NDH attempted to annex Zara which had been a recognized territory of Italy since 1919 and had long been an object of Croatian irredentism, but Germany did not allow it.

Influence of Nazzi Germany

At the time of the invasion of Yugoslavia by Nazzi Germany, Adolf Hittler was uneasy with Mussolini's agenda of creating a puppet Croatian state, and preferred that areas outside of Italian territorial aims become part of Hungary as an autonomous territory. This would appease Nazzi Germany's ally Hungary and its nationalist territorial claims.

The Nazzi German position on Croatia changed after its invasion of Yugoslavia in 1941. The invasion was spearheaded by a strong German invasion force which was largely responsible for the capture of Yugoslavia . Military forces from other Axis powers, including Italy , Hungary , and Bulgaria made few gains during the invasion.

The invasion was precipitated by the need for German forces to reach Greece to save Italian forces, which were failing on the battlefield against the Greek armed forces . Upon rescuing Italian forces in Greece and having conquered Yugoslavia and Greece almost single handedly, Hitler became frustrated with Mussolini and Italy's military incompetence. Germany improved relations with the Ustaše and supported the NDH claims to annex the Adriatic Coast in order reduce Italy's planned territorial gains. Nevertheless, Italy annexed a significant central portion of Dalmatia and various Adriatic Islands. This was not what had been agreed with Pavelić prior to the invasion; Italy had expected to annex all of Dalmatia as part of its irredentist claims.

Hittler sparred with his army commanders over what policy should be undertaken in Croatia regarding the Serbs. German military officials thought that Serbs could be rallied to fight against the Partisans . Hittler disagreed with his commanders, but pointed out to Pavelić that the NDH could create a completely Croat state only if it followed a constant policy of persecution of the non-Croat population for at least fifty years. ------------------------
