Croatian People's Socialist Republic

The **Croatian People's Socialist Republic** (**CPSR**; Croatian: *Hrvatska narodna socijalistička republika*, *HNSR*), informally known as **Croatia** (*Hrvatska*; IPA: [xř̩ʋaːtskaː]), is a country in the Balkans region of the Southern Europe. It is one of the republics of the Yugoslav Socialist Federal Republic, governed by the Communist Party of Croatia. Its capital is in Zagreb, the country's largest city and main commercial and cultural centre. With a population of 7.75 million people, Croatia is the third-most populous republic of Yugoslavia.

Inhabited since the Paleolithic Age, the Croats arrived in the area in the 6th century and organised the territory into two duchies by the 9th century. Croatia was first internationally recognized as an independent state on 7 June 879 during the reign of duke Branimir. Tomislav became the first king by 925, elevating Croatia to the status of a kingdom, which retained its sovereignty for nearly two centuries, reaching its peak during the rule of kings Petar Krešimir IV and Dmitar Zvonimir. Croatia entered a personal union with Hungary in 1102. In 1527, faced with Ottoman conquest, the Croatian Parliament elected Ferdinand I of Austria to the Croatian throne. In October 1918, in the final days of World War I, the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs, independent from Austria-Hungary, was proclaimed in Zagreb, and in December 1918 it was merged into the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.

Following the Axis invasion of Yugoslavia in April 1941, most of the Croatian territory was incorporated into the Nazi-backed client-state which led to the development of a resistance movement and the creation of the Federal State of Croatia which after the war become a founding member and a federal constituent of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.

Croatia is officially a secular, unitary, socialist republic; it is a developed country with a very high standard of living. Its economy is dominated by service and industrial sectors and agriculture. Tourism is a significant source of revenue due to the Croatia's pristine Adriatic coastline, with the country ranked among top 20 most popular tourist destinations in the world. The state controls most of the economy, with substantial government expenditure. The other republics of Yugoslavia as well as the Soviet Union and Germany are Croatia's most important trading partners. Like other Yugoslav republics, the Croatian PSR provides social security, a universal health care system, and a tuition-free primary and secondary education, while supporting culture through numerous public institutions and corporate investments in media and publishing.

It originally served as the location of a would-be local advisory parliament to the London-appointed Palestine High Commissioner which ultimately failed to materialise due to British political repression. The building hosted some of the earliest sessions of the Palestine Arab Congress during the British mandate, but was closed by the British in 1930. Further sessions were held illegally in the late 30s, guarded by Izz ad-Din al-Qassam's Black Hand militia.

Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

The **Israeli-Palestinian Conflict** is the common name for an ongoing struggle between Israelis and Palestinians which began in the mid-20th century. It traces its origins to increased Jewish immigration to historic Palestine before and after the Second World War, which culminated in the foundation of the State of Israel in 1949 and a mass exodus of Palestinians from land claimed by the new state. It has been described as one of the world's most intractable conflicts; despite the implementation of a two-state solution with the establishment of the Republic of Sinine in 1979 after the Sinai War, the conflict continues, mostly centred around Israeli access to East Jerusalem holy sites and the old city, as well as Palestinian claims of stolen land not returned by Israel after 1979.

The highway connecting the two territories of Sinine, which traverses southern Israel, is subject to limitation or closure by at Israel's discretion. As such, the status of Sinite access to the highway is commonly used as an unofficial indicator of the intensity of the conflict, and of the overall level of tension between the two countries.

## Wars

First Palestinian Republic

Palestinian territory on the eve of the Six-Day War

The **First Palestinian Republic** (Arabic: الجمهورية الفسطينية الاولى *al-jumhūriyah al-falasṭīnīyah al-ūlā*) is the name used by historians to refer the first Palestinian state of the post-Mandate period, proclaimed in 1947 and emerging militarily out of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and subsequent armistice as the *de facto* authority on one side of the Green Line, on the other side the new State of Israel. The republic would exist until its dissolution following Palestinian defeat in the 1967 Six-Day War and subsequent occupation by Israel, the military and government in tatters and top leadership exiled to Cairo.

The republic was originally organised as a unitary state with a semi-presidential system, and consisted of the West Bank and Gaza Strip as physically separate regions of the unitary republic. Following the 1956 Suez Crisis, the Sinai Peninsula came under Palestinian control, and the government was restructured as a federal state, with the Sinai, Gaza and West Bank as three federal states, and East Jerusalem and Port Said federal cities administered directly by the federal government. After the end of the Israeli occupation in 1979, the restored Palestinian government was organised again as a unitary state, while the former two federal cities became "national cities", which remained outside of the new county system that grouped the rest of the country's municipalities, and directly under the control of the national government.

The First Palestinian Republic was independent *de jure*, but in fact for most of its existence remained under the military and political control of its Arab League allies of the 1948 war; indeed, it wasn't until 1961 that the last regular Arab Legion troops left the country, and 1963 that the final Syrian and Egyptian military advisors departed the country, turning over their mission to Soviet advisors who would arrive later that year. An immediate result of the reduction in Arab League political influence was the 1964 Palestinian coup d'état, which ousted the elitist Independence Party and brought to power the Palestine Arab Party, strongly supported by the middle class and backed by the Palestinian Regional Branch of the Ba'ath Party, which commanded the loyalty of a large section of the Army of the Republic of Palestine. Many historians attribute the subsequent escalation of regional tensions, which contributed at least partially to the outbreak of the Six-Day War and the subsequent Palestinian defeat, to the 1964 coup and the populist and nationalist policies of the resulting administration.

Gaza Strip

The **Gaza Strip** or **Gaza Panhandle** (Arabic: قطاع غزة *qiṭā‘ ghazzah*) is a geographic region of the Republic of Palestine.

The densely populated region is home to over 3 million people. It is separated from the West Bank, home to Palestine's capital district, by only 10 kilometres of Israeli territory, which is much closer than the rest of the Sinai. It is thus a corridor of travel between the two territories, and Highway 40 passes from the Israeli border through Gaza City and Khan Younis all the way to Port Said at the Suez Canal.

Gossnab

The **State Committee for Material-Technical Supply** (Russian: Государственный комитет по материально-техническому снабжению *Gosudarstvennyy komitet po material'no-tekhnicheskomu snabzheniyu*), commonly abbreviated **Gossnab** (Госснаб), is a state committee under the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union. It is responsible for supply of all unprocessed materials for medium and heavy industry as well as construction in the country. It was charged primarily with the allocation of producer goods to enterprises, a critical state function in the absence of markets.

Gossnab is one of more than thirty state committees under the Council of Ministers, the administrative arm of the Soviet government, along with other economic organs such as Gosplan (the state planning committee) and Gosbank (the state bank). Created amid a series of economic reforms implemented under Premier Alexei Kosygin in the mid-1960s, Gossnab coordinated the allocation of resources not handled by Gosplan. Until the introduction in the late 1990s of employee-owned cooperatives to many sectors of the economy which were free to pursue economic projects independent of state planning, Gossnab had mixed success in creating a wholesale trade system, as it was based on direct contracts between suppliers and users.

In 1975, shortly before the start of the Sinai War, it split off from the Nationalists and came under the control of the Syrian Ba'ath Party. During the war, it was part of the partisan coalition known as the Palestinian National Salvation Front (PNSF), which evolved into the modern Palestinian Armed Forces after the end of the war and occupation in 1979. Following the war, Fatah al-Intifada was officially disbanded, as the new Ba'athist administration outlawed partisan militias outside of its own National Guard command, which some brigades joined.
