Many tribes passed through the territory of modern-day Croatia from prehistory forward; the country was also ruled in successive periods by the Roman and Byzantine empires as well as the Habsburg Empire. Between the 15th and 17th centuries, the country was under Ottoman rule, despite repeated efforts by the Hapsburgs to take the land. After the First World War, following the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Croatia was incorporated into Yugoslavia. In 1991, with the dissolution of Yugoslavia, Croatia declared its independence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
