Military Frontier

Military Frontier (Military Border, Military Krajina, Vojna Krajina, ????? ???????, Militärgrenze, Confiniaria militaria) was a borderland of Habsburg Austria which acted as the cordon sanitaire against the Turks from the Middle Ages (Croatian Krajina) or from the late 17th and 18th centuries (Slavonian and Banat Krajina) until the 19th century.

Legacy

The areas of Slavonian and Croatian Krajina later formed the Republic of Serbian Krajina in the 1990s during the Yugoslav wars. The Banat Krajina was unaffected by this.
