This century-thread runs from unification (1918) through occupation and the Novi Sad Raid (1942), to the Socialist Autonomous Province with 1974's expanded self-rule. You read it in memorials along the Danube, in museum galleries framing multiethnic life, and in interwar-origin harvest rites that survived into socialist civic calendars.
Places are linked through Research Center era-node mappings.

minority hinge
Harvest thanksgiving (Dužijanca, since 1911) and the winter social 'Veliko prelo' (since 1879) make Subotica's streets and churches a living stage for Croat/Bunjevac Catholic identity—contested in framing but shared in practice. Anchor modes: living_ritual|signal|custodian | Search hooks: Subotica City Center (Dužijanca & Veliko Prelo);procession;harvest;parade;Mass
Attend summer Dužijanca Mass and parade and winter Veliko prelo balls; note the organizer's framing (Croat vs Bunjevac councils).

Chapter
1867 - 1918
Under Dual Monarchy, cities in northern Vojvodina bloomed with Hungarian Secession (Art Nouveau). You read this era in Subotica's synagogue and Raichle's fantastical palace—civic façades that still host exhibitions and concerts and signal a cosmopolitan, multi-confessional townscape.
Chapter
From 2000
After 2000, autonomy debates eased into practice: cross-ethnic festivals, revived craft/food cycles, and global stages at Petrovaradin. You read today's Vojvodina by timing your trip to EXIT at the fortress, harvest parades in Subotica, pumpkins in Kikinda, Slovak naïve painting in Kovačica, and Rusyn Greek Catholic rhythms in Ruski Krstur—each with its own calendar and custodian.
Chapter
1848 - 1861
Revolutions of 1848 produced Serbian Vojvodina's May Assembly at Sremski Karlovci and, soon after, the Austrian crownland 'Voivodeship of Serbia and Banat of Temeschwar'. You read this moment in church-led politics and squares where proclamations echoed, even as the crownland's capital sat beyond today's Serbian border.
Chapter
1718 - 1918
Imperial colonization brought Germans (Danube Swabians), Slovaks, Rusyns, and others, imprinting towns with new churches, house-types, and foodways that still flavor today's festivals. Read this layer in Kačarevo (Franzfeld) bacon-curing traditions and Bački Petrovac's Slovak Lutheran rhythm that continues in annual gatherings.
