Croatia:
Lazlo I of Hungary claimed the Croatian throne in 1091. The Turks defeated Hungary in 1526, placing Pannonian Croatia under Ottoman rule, the rest of Croatia elected Ferdinand of Austria as their king and fought Turkey. Croatia and Slovenia became a part of Hungary until the collapse of Austria-Hungary in 1918. The Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes with Montenegro and Serbia was created in 1918, changing its name to Yugoslavia in 1929. Croatia was proclaimed an independent state during occupation by Axis powers from 1941 to 1945. Croatia again declared its independence in 1991.

Postage stamps have been issued from 1941 to 1945 and again, since 1991.

Heimer's, The Chronology of Postal Authorities Issuing Stamps in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina
Introduction:

This is a chronological list of various stamp issuing administrations (states, territories, local issues, occupational provisionals etc.) on the territory of Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina from the beginning of use of stamps in mid 19th cent. till nowdays. When I was considering to do it I was in doubt weather to do it for Croatia only or to include B&H, or to include all of the former Yugoslavia. My decision was, as you can see, to include B&H because there is to many common events, but it would be to much if I would include more.

(contents include:)
"There is a political map of the region"
"The list is divided in 5 historical periods:
before 1918
between the two World Wars
World War II
post WWII
after the breaking of Yugoslavia"
