You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((History of Slavonia))

The '''Serbian Autonomous Oblast of Western Slavonia''' (((lang-sh-Latn-Cyrl|Srpska autonomna oblast Zapadna Slavonija|Српска аутономна област Западна Славонија))) was a Serbian self-proclaimed [[Serb Autonomous Regions|Serb Autonomous Region]] (oblast) within [[Croatia]]. It was formed on 12 August 1991<ref>((Cite web |url=http://www.centardomovinskograta.hr/1990.htm |title=Hrvatski memorijalno-dokumentacijski centar domovinskog rata |access-date=2008-04-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080611154839/http://www.centardomovinskograta.hr/1990.htm |archive-date=2008-06-11 |url-status=dead ))</ref> and was subsequently included into the [[Republic of Serbian Krajina]]. It was eliminated and reintegrated into Croatia in May 1995, during [[Operation Flash]].

==History==
Shortly after the proclamation of the SAO Western Slavonia, rebel Serb forces, assisted by the Serb-led [[Yugoslav People's Army]] (JNA) and Serb paramilitary forces (from Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina), took [[Okučani]] and [[Daruvar]], threatening to sever [[Slavonia]] from Croatia proper. At this time, the area under Serbian control was relatively large, although the majority of the region was hilly and forested with poor infrastructure. During the next months, there was fierce battle for [[Pakrac]] as paramilitaries ethnically cleansed Croats from newly captured Western Slavonic districts. Most of the region was patrolled by poorly equipped Serbian militias drawn from the local Serb villages, and with JNA resources widely distributed at a precarious time, they were not in position to effectively dissect Croatia.

On October 31, 1991, Croatian forces launched [[Operation Otkos 10]] securing the [[Bilogora]] hills. Following this success, the Croat [[Operation Orkan 91]], on December 12, pushed back the Serb/Yugoslav forces into a small pocket only a fraction of the initial territory controlled. In the operation, [[Daruvar]] was taken. During their retreat, Serbian paramilitaries committed the [[Voćin massacre]]. On January 2, 1992, the UN brokered a ceasefire in Sarajevo, it is possible that this stopped the Croatian forces from eliminating the rebel Serb presence in Western Slavonia.

On February 18, 1993, Croatian and local Serb leaders signed the [[Daruvar Agreement]]. The Agreement was kept secret and was working towards normalising life for the locals on the battlefield line. However, the rebel Serb authorities from Knin learned of the deal and arrested the rebel Serb leaders responsible for it.<ref>[http://www.ffzg.hr/hsd/polemos/drugi/d.html ((in lang|hr)) War in Croatia 1991-95, Part II] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090329053756/http://www.ffzg.hr/hsd/polemos/drugi/d.html |date=2009-03-29 ))</ref>

The Serb enclave of Western Slavonia was eliminated and the area reintegrated into Croatia in two days in May 1995, during [[Operation Flash]]. In retaliation for this thorough defeat, [[Milan Martić]] launched [[Zagreb rocket attack|rockets at Zagreb]].

==Administrative divisions==
The territory of Western Slavonia under protection by the [[United Nations]] included four municipalities: [[Okučani]], [[Pakrac]], [[Daruvar]] and [[Grubišno Polje]]. The [[Army of the Republic of Serbian Krajina]] had controlled the municipalities of Okučani and Pakrac.

==Population==
The population of municipalities of Western Slavonia according to the population census in 1991 (note that these did not correspond SAO Slavonia which mostly included Serb settlements of the municipalities, not one of them wholly):
*[[Pakrac]]: 7,818 [[Serbs]] (47.76%), 5,619 [[Croats]] (34.33%), 2,930 others (17.91%)
*[[Daruvar]]: Relative Serb majority
*[[Grubišno Polje]]: Relative Croat majority
