 Croatian nationalism then became largely dormant, except for the Croatian Spring, until the breakup of Yugoslavia and the Croatian War of Independence.In its more extreme form, Croatian nationalism is personified by the desire for the establishment of a Greater Croatian state, the idealization of the peasant and of patriarchal values, as well as anti-Serb sentiment.In the 19th century, opposition by Croats to Magyarization and desire for independence from Austria-Hungary led to the rise of Croatian nationalism.
