I feel the need to note that the "Independent State of Croatia" was likely (I am not a historian, take my statement with a grain of Carthage) neither independent, nor a state, nor truly Croatia. It's also explicitly rejected by the Croatian constitution.

The meme still kinda fits tho. It's complicated and I wish luck to anyone diving into the subject.

They're going to need it.

Yeah, NDH isn't today's Croatia. Another "fun" thing to look up is what happened in the early 90s. Plenty of dead and displaced people on both sides.

I'll always find it amusing, albeit concerning, when other countries deny crimes done to them by other countries, especially when said other country has been open and remorseful about it.

Wild to see every time.

Romania is a poor victim, and has done nothing wrong. If you claim otherwise, I will call you racist.

Yeah, it's not polite to slag off a 3rd world country like that

Exactly. OP is just rude.
