Colonization in the second Yugoslavia refers to organized migrations of agrarian applicants to abandoned arable land with the goal to feed the nations hungry citizens, allocation of the surplus of the population and finally, the revival of the state economy. The key law for the colonization enforcement was The Agrarian Reform and Colonization Law which was adopted in 1945. Differing from the previous regimes, whose colonization efforts had nationalistic tendencies and during which the land was given even to those families who previously never cultivated land, in the second Yugoslavia, colonization was conducted under the slogan “Land to those who cultivate it”. Among colonists, there were many peasants which originated from poor, passive regions of the state from where they could not had participated in the economic revival plan. This research deals with Dalmatian colonists which undertook the journey from the poor Dalmatian karst to Slavonia and Vojvodina where they were supposed to begin their new lives. The emphasis of this research is on their personal experiences during the departure from their homeland of Dalmatia, experiences during the transport towards the final destination and the process of integration upon their arrival to the land they were assigned to. The problems were many, disappointments even more frequent, but the main goals of the colonization did bear fruit.
