Herceg-Bosna prigodom aneksije
The work presents geographical-ethnographic-historical and constitutional considerations on the position of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the context of its annexation by the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. It is based on a lecture given by the author in Ljubljana
Šišić analyzes the historical, ethnographic, and legal aspects of the annexation, emphasizing that Austria-Hungary, although it occupied Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1878, did not formally annex it until 1908, which caused an international crisis. The author describes in detail the geographical and ethnographic characteristics of the region, emphasizing its historical connection with Croatian and Slavic areas.
Through historical analysis, Šišić argues that Bosnia and Herzegovina has the right to independence and that its annexation is not in accordance with the will of the people. He especially focuses on the cultural and historical ties of the region with Croatia, emphasizing their common past and identity.
The work is significant because it provides insight into the views of Croatian historiography at the time on the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and reflects the political and national aspirations of Croats at the beginning of the 20th century. Šišić's analysis combines a scientific approach with patriotic sentiment, making this book an important contribution to understanding the historical circumstances of that time.
