Abstract

The paper shows the importance of the document Base for foundation of the People’s Army in the Triune Kingdom of Croatia, Slavonia and Dalmatia (Osnova za utemeljenje Narodne vojske u Trojednoj kraljevini hèrvatsko – slavonsko – dalmatinskoj), as one of the most important documents the Croatian Parliament (Sabor) issued in the period of European revolutionary upheavals (1848–1849). In addition to showing the program for the creation of the Croatian army as a national army, it is regarded as an extraordinary political document that goes beyond military issues and contributes to the attempt of establishing the sovereign Croatian state with an autonomous political system and the institutions that should be responsible to Croatian people as an origin of sovereignty.
