In the 19th century Croatia was exposed to the increasing pressure of Germanization and Hungarization. Influenced by the French revolution, national movements of the Slavic people within the Monarchy grew stronger. That phenomenon didn't bypass Croatia, wich was still divided both territorially and linguistically. In 1861 Ante Starčević and Eugen Kvaternik presented a program in the Croatian Parliament envisioning Croatia as an independent state, territorially united with a Croatian head of state. That same year the ''Croatian Party of Rights“ was founded. Members of the party fought against the pressure of the Habsburg Monarchy and later of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Year after year the party grew stronger on the political scene, eventually becoming a serious problem for Vienna and Pest. After the Rakovica Revolt and the death of Eugen Kvaternik, Starčević lead the party to it's peak during the mid 1880s. After the death of Ante Starčević in the mid 1890s, the party split into the ''Party of Rights'' led by Fran Folnegović and the ''Pure Party of Rights'' led by Josip Frank.
