Croatian Communist Party (Croatian Komunistička Partija Hrvatske, KPH) also known as the Croatian League of Communists (Croatian Savez Komunista Hrvatske, SKH) was the Croatian branch of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (KPJ).

The party was formally founded in 1937 with Pajo Gregurić as its first general secretary. The reasons for KPJ to have its specifically Croatian branch were partly ideological, partly practical. Croatia, just as Slovenia, which would have its Communist Party at the same time, was the most industrialised part of the country, with the biggest percentage of working class in the population, and, therefore, more likely to adopt Communism than rural Serbia. The other, more practical, reason was in the increased marginalisation of Communists in Croatian political life due to public more preoccupied with ethnic issues and position of Croatia within Yugoslavia (cf. Croatia in the first Yugoslavia). Territorial aspirations of fascist Italy towards Croatian parts of Yugoslavia also presented opportunity for the creation of broad Communist-dominated alliances modelled on Popular Front. 1937 was a common year starting on Friday (link will take you to calendar). ...

Party's fortunes dramatically changed with the 1941 Axis invasion of Yugoslavia and creation of the Independent State of Croatia. Although KPH had many of its leading figures arrested and killed by new regime, it remained strong enough to form what would become the only truly effective resistance movement in Croatia — the Partisans. KPH was based on ideological rather than ethnic grounds and, therefore, had support in both ethnic Croat and ethnic Serb areas. This allowed Tito's Partisans to mount ultimately successful guerilla campaign. KPH platform of post-war reorganisation of Yugoslavia on federal grounds also attracted many non-Communist Croatians to its cause, especially in the later stages of war. 1941 was a common year starting on Wednesday (link will take you to calendar). ...

Things began to change in late 1960s with Josip Broz Tito allowing for reformist policies embodied of new generation of Communist leaders. This generation included SKH leaders Savka Dabčević-Kučar and Miko Tripalo who would start movement called the Croatian Spring, advocating for more autonomy of Croatia within Yugoslavia. They advocated against centralism which disproportionately benefited the eastern parts of Yugoslavia, especially Serbia and Macedonia. Josip Broz Tito listen?

The movement, however, created a lot of ethnic tension and increasing opposition from the more conservative Party members. In December 1971, on the Karađorđevo conference of the SKJ, Tito publicly distanced himself from Croatian Spring, leading to the end of the movement. Using the alleged Croatian nationalism as a pretext, SKH was subsequently purged from most of its liberal and reformist elements. 1971 is a common year starting on Friday (click for link to calendar). ...

As a result, SKH in the 1970s became one of the most conservative sections of SKJ and remained interested in maintaining ideological and political status quo even when other branches of SKJ began to explore new ideas. Because of that, SKH in late 1980s was slow to react when Serbian Communist Party under Slobodan Milošević took nationalist course. SKH began to openly condemn Milošević only in 1989 after Serbian nationalist demonstrations in areas that would later become Republic of Serbian Krajina.

Another reason for this change of policy was increasingly apparent prospect of SKH being forced to allow some form of multi-party democracy and having its power tested on free elections. SKH quickly adopted a new reformist platform and pushed for the constitutional amendments allowing first free elections in 1990. In January 1990 the Croatian Party delegation left the 17th Congress of SKJ, few hours after the Slovenian Party delegation did so over a row with the Serbian Party delegation. A multi-party system is a type of party system. ...

In the next few months, SKH tried very hard to present itself as modern and reformist party, rebranding itself into a new party that would ultimately become Social Democratic Party of Croatia. Those and other changes, however, weren't very convincing to the Croatian electorate and SKH lost power to Croatian Democratic Union of Franjo Tuđman.

It is estimated that in the 1980s, during its zenith, the SKH had around 300-400,000 members. Subsequent surveys showed that most of the membership left the party in 1990, with only minority remaining active in politics. Of those, majority joined the HDZ. The Croatian Democratic Union (Croatian: Hrvatska Demokratska Zajednica, HDZ), is a Croatian political party. ...
Another reason why the Party lost support in Croatia was because it was accused of being dominated by the Serb minority. The Serb influence was indeed disproportionate at times. Whereas the in [1946]] 28% of the members of the Croatian League of Communists were ethnic Serbs, their participation dropped to some 12% by 1989. Accusations that the 15% Serb population (mostly in the Krajina) were unfounded as the ledership posts were dominated by Croats and position of the presidency was only held twice by Serbs in 50 years. Once by Rade Končar (until 1942) and again by Stanko Stojčević (1986-1989). 1989 is a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
