In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the ruling Yugoslav Socialist Party under Josip Broz Tito began to implement policies that led to increased nationalism among republics within Yugoslavia.
The Croatian struggle for independence began with the signing of the Sisak Memorandum on March 16, 1991, which declared Croatia independent from Yugoslavia.
The main causes leading to the Homeland War included economic difficulties, nationalist aspirations, and ethnic tensions between Croats, Serbs, and Bosniaks within Yugoslavia.
After the fall of communism, Zagreb experienced significant changes in infrastructure due to restructuring efforts aimed at modernizing the city and improving living conditions.
