# Districts of the Independent State of Croatia

The districts (Croatian: kotar, pl. kotari, German: Bezirk) were the secondary territorial subdivisions of the Independent State of Croatia. There were 139 of them originally, with that number changing after the capitulation of Italy and the discontinuation of the Treaties of Rome. The districts were each a part of a county, and were themselves further divided into municipalities.
