1918 occupation of Međimurje
1918 occupation of Međimurje

The 1918 occupation of Međimurje was takeover of the region of Međimurje by the forces deployed by the National Council of the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs in November and December 1918 in immediate aftermath of the World War I. The territory, predominantly inhabited by the Croats was a part of the Kingdom of Hungary until the troops under command of Colonel Slavko Kvaternik captured and added it to the just established Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. The campaign to capture Međimurje began in November 1918 ostensibly in response to Hungarian authorities action to put down a revolt of population of Međimurje. The first intervention was quickly organised by Major Ivan Tomašević leading a force of about three hundred which was routed by Hungarian forces near Čakovec – the region's largest town. Pleas for military help directed to the Royal Serbian Army and the French Armée d'Orient were rebuffed due to obligations assumed under the Armistice of Belgrade between the Entente Powers and Hungary which defined the Drava River in as the line of Hungarian control in the area. A new effort was mounted by the National Council on 24 December using a 3,000-strong force comprising a significant part of the Royal Croatian Home Guard and volunteers. The second incursion into Međimurje was planned in greater detail by Major Dragutin Perko, who went on to command a large part of the forces advancing into Međimurje. Međimurje was captured on 24 December without resistance from the Hungarian garrison. Perko was appointed its administrator, and the region was declared a part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. The proclamation was made with a reference to the principle of self-determination. Addition of Međimurje to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes was confirmed by the Paris Peace Conference.

In the 19th century, the present villages of Dragoslavec, Frkanovec, Lopatinec, Okrugli Vrh, Pleškovec and Vučetinec were considered a single village under the present name of the municipality - Sveti Juraj na Bregu. The municipality was named after Saint George, who is also depicted on its coat of arms. Its name means Saint George on the Hill in the local dialect. The main road going through the municipality connects Čakovec, the county seat of Međimurje County, with Štrigova and the Croatian-Slovenian border checkpoint in Razkrižje. The main church of the local parish sits atop of a hill and is one of the most prominent churches in the region, as it is also visible from the D3 state road while driving from Varaždin in the direction of Čakovec. In 2008, it was heavily damaged when its bell tower collapsed during renovations, but has since been rebuilt.

Međimurje County
Međimurje County

Međimurje County (pronounced [medʑǐmuːrje]; Croatian: Međimurska županija [medʑǐmurskaː ʒupǎnija]; Hungarian: Muraköz megye) is a triangle-shaped county in the northernmost part of Croatia, roughly corresponding to the historical and geographical region of Međimurje. Despite being the smallest Croatian county by size, it is the most densely populated one (not including the City of Zagreb). The county seat is Čakovec, which is also the largest city of the county. The county borders Slovenia in the north-west and Hungary in the east, with about 30 kilometers of Slovenian territory separating it from Austria. The south-eastern corner of the county is near the town of Legrad and the confluence of the Mura into the Drava. The closest bigger cities include Varaždin, Koprivnica and Bjelovar in Croatia, Lendava, Murska Sobota and Maribor in Slovenia, as well as Nagykanizsa in Hungary and Graz in Austria. The Croatian capital of Zagreb is about 90 kilometers south-west of Čakovec. There are slopes of the Alpine foothills in the north-western part of the county, the Upper Međimurje, making it suitable for vineyards. The south-eastern part of the county, the Lower Međimurje, touches the flat Pannonian Plain. The flat parts of the region are also largely used for agriculture, which mostly includes fields of cereals, maize and potato, as well as orchards, which are mostly planted with apple trees. There are two major hydroelectric power plants along the southern border of the county, on the Drava River.
