There was no way to Magyarise Croatia.
There was a large proportion of Magyars in Osijek, our 4th largest citiy, and about 20 medium, big or small villages in Croatia, mostly Slavonia,and some in Bjelovar area.
Germans were more numberous than Hungarians in Croatia,but they were highly assimilated in Croats, even today, you have only 2900 Germans in censud, and a lot of people with German surnames.
There was also a large Czech minority in west Slavonia, and they are a good example of assimilation.
They were not expelled like the Germans, nor they were devastated by any war.
Still, their number change from 40.000 in 1950., to 15.000 in 2001.
Croats were not assimilated to anything, they were the ones who did the assimilation, Ljudevit Gaj, August Seona, Vatroslav Lisinski, ethnic non Croats, who were Croatian Nationalists.
If you read Senoa's stories and books, you see great Croatian patriotism and romantism, even myths by today's standards.
And he vas half German half Hungarian origin
