The figures, side by side

Each figure is the same observation, with the same source, as on the two dossiers. Every value shows the year it was observed — vintages differ by indicator and nation. A “—” is an absence in the source data, never a zero. Metric names link to the world ranking; values open the figure on its own dossier.

Entangled histories

2 events in which either nation’s sourced chronicle names the other — including under earlier names of the same state. Each is the same record, with the same sources, as on its own chronicle; nothing here was written for this page.

  1. 1 Dec 1918

    Entry into the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes

    After the collapse of Austria-Hungary, the Croatian lands joined Serbia and Montenegro in the new South Slav kingdom proclaimed on 1 December 1918, later renamed Yugoslavia.

  2. 1991–1995

    Wars in Croatia and Bosnia

    As Yugoslavia disintegrated, war engulfed Croatia and Bosnia amid ethnic cleansing and atrocity, with Belgrade backing Serb forces and the federation collapsing into a rump Yugoslavia.
