Agrarian reform and colonization as the foundations for the legitimate rule of the Yugoslav socialist government : the gateway towards collectivization in Slavonia and VojvodinaPetar Grubišić, 2022, original scientific article
Abstract: This paper analyses the agrarian reform and colonization in Slavonia and Vojvodina from 1945 to 1948. This process can be
viewed as the culmination of the processes of land redistribution which started in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.
However, land redistribution and colonization after World War II took place in vastly different circumstances, not only due to the
new political system, but also due to the forceful expulsion of the German-speaking population in those areas. Although colonization
was initially viewed as a long-term project, it had concluded up by the beginning of 1948. The paper analyzes the colonization
and land redistribution from the perspective of colonists from Dalmatia who were settled in Slavonia and Vojvodina. Based
on archival sources and existing scholarly works on this topic, it analyzes the reasons for the relocation of certain groups, the
methods that were used in the redistribution of land, and how it permanently changed society in the region.
