Greater Croatia

This article is about a Croatian nationalist ideology. For the similarly-named historic region, see White Croatia.

The concept of Greater Croatia (Croatian: Velika Hrvatska) describes the irredentist belief in the equivalence between the territorial scope of the Croat people and that of the country of Croatia. It is a foundational tenet within multiple variants of Croatian nationalism. The term has been used to describe the Croatian diaspora living in Southeast Europe as a regional sphere of influence. The Croatian language is spoken in many neighboring countries, extending its cultural reach abroad.
