Summary: | This article deals with the history of relationships between the Independent State of Croatia (hereinafter the NDH) and Southeast European countries which joined the Axis bloc. While doing so, we shall also take into account the Balkan views of then‐neutral Turkey, as well as little‐known views of Japanese diplomacy on war events in the Balkans. A central contention is that, in 1941, for Croatia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia, Germany was above all a big power that was to right the wrongs of the old international order, which naturally also included the revision of the Versailles borders. This expectation, however, collided with a range of inherited and already defined premises, so that, in addition to old problems, a whole range of new cracks emerged in the bloc of German satellites. |
