During the Croatian-Ottoman Wars of the 15th and 16th centuries, parts of Croatia were incorporated into the Ottoman Empire and settled by Turks.
However, the majority of these retreated to other parts of Rumelia or Anatolia after the end of Ottoman rule.
Many ethnic Turks in Croatia today are from more recent immigrations from the mid-20th century onwards.
[citation needed] In the Independent State of Croatia, the Croatian Muslim Printing House issued a magazine in Turkish language intended for the Turkish public, the European turkologists and those in the Independent State of Croatia who spoke Turkish language.
