Abstract

Politička je revolucija u Francuskoj lansirala Europu u dvadeset tri godine neprekidnih
previranja koji su promijenili sliku Starog kontinenta. Napoleonovi su ratovi doveli istočnu
jadransku obalu u samo središte europskih sukoba. Zbog svog geostrateškog značenja, hrvatske
zemlje pod francuskom vlašću ulaze u okvir novoosnovanih Ilirskih Pokrajina, s ciljem
zaokruživanja Jadranskog mora, stvaranja trgovačkog puta u Levant te suzbijanja ruskog
utjecaja na Balkanski poluotok. Godina 1815. osim što označava konačan Napoleonov pad,
ujedno predstavlja prekretnicu u europskoj povijesti. Bečki kongres postavio je temelj novom
međunarodnom poretku temeljenog na ravnoteži moći, statusu quo i proturevolucionarnom
djelovanju. Prema novoj europskoj podjeli, zemlje Ilirskih Pokrajina priključene su u sastav
Austrijskog Carstva, uključujući i područje Dubrovačke Republike. Hrvatske su zemlje pod
ingerencijom Austrije podijeljene između dvije novoosnovane upravno-političke tvorevine:
Kraljevine Ilirije i Kraljevine Dalmacije. Obje su Kraljevine imale svoj smisao i ulogu: Ilirija
u pružanju otpora i slabljenju hrvatskog i mađarskog plemstva, te Dalmacija u sprječavanju
širenja ruske utjecajne sfere na Balkan i obrani legitimiteta Osmanskog Carstva.

Abstract (english)

The political revolution in France launched Europe into twenty-five years of continous
turmoil that changed the image of the Old Continent. The Napoleonic Wars brought the eastern
Adriatic coast to the very center of European conflicts. Due to their geostrategic significance,
the Croatian lands were incorporated into the Illyrian Provinces under the French rule, with the
aim of rounding off the Adriatic Sea, creating a trade route to the Levant and suppressing
Russian influence on the Balkan Peninsula. The year 1815, in addition to marking the final fall
of Napoleon, also marks a turning point in European history. The Congress of Vienna laid
foundation for a new international order which was based on balance of power, the status quo
and antirevolutionary approach. According to the new division of Europe, the land of the
Illyrian Provinces were annexed to the Austrian Empire, including the teritory of the Republic
of Dubrovnik. Croatian lands under Austrian jurisdiction were divided between two newly
established administrative and political formations: the Kingdom of Illyria and the Kingdom of
Dalmatia. Both Kingdoms had their own meaning and role: Illyria in resisting and weakening
the Croatian and Hungarian nobility, and Dalmatia in preventing the spread of the Russian
sphere of influence to the Balkans and defending the legitimacy of the Ottoman Empire.
