Croats

Croats are a nation and South Slavic ethnic group at the crossroads of Central Europe, Southeast Europe, and the Mediterranean. Croats mainly live in homeland Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and nearby countries Serbia and Slovenia. Likewise, Croats are an officially recognized minority in Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, and Slovakia. Responding to political, social and economic pressure, many Croats have migrated throughout the world, and established a notable Croatian diaspora. In Western Europe exist larger communities in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, and Italy. Outside Europe, there are even more significant Croatian communities in the United States, Canada, Chile, Argentina, and Australia. Croats are noted for their cultural diversity, which has been influenced by a number of other neighboring cultures through the ages.
