Although the beginnings of Split are often associated with the construction of Diocletian's Palace, the city was founded earlier as the Greek colony of Aspalothos. From 1069, Split was part of the Kingdom of Croatia, which later belonged to Hungary. After the First World War, Dalmatia became part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. From this the kingdom subsequently emerges Yugoslavia in 1929. During World War II, the city was occupied by Italy and then by the Germans. After World War II, Yugoslavia became a socialist republic and subsequently a federal republic. After the declaration of independence of Croatia in 1991, Split was still fully occupied by garrisons. The city began to develop again after the Millennium in 2000.
