Political, economic and cultural background in Dalmatia in the time of the Revival Movement was significantly different from those in Banska Hrvatska. As the administrative unit, Dalmatia was subjected to the Austrian administration, but consequences of the historical division (former Venice estates and the territory of the former Republic of Ragusa) were still present. Croatian citizenry in Dalmatia was in conflict with Italian citizenry who tried to Italianize that province. During the first half of the nineteenth century, the Croatian National Revival reflected also in Dalmatia, for example, „Zora Dalmatinska“ (engl. Dalmatian dawn) periodical had been started up already in 1844, with a symbolical poem „Zora puca“ (engl. Dawn breaks) written by Petar Preradović. The poem speaks of the awakening of the national conscietiousness and indicates a whole new era for the Croatian nation. The Dalmatian Parliament was established in 1861 with its headquarters in Zadar. Since its foundation it has been under dominance of the opposition of the People's Party (the Autonomist Party) who pleaded for public use of Italian language. In Dalmatia, the People's Party, founded in 1861, demanded unificiation of Dalmatia and Banska Hrvatska. Dalmatian delegates of the People's Party started up their own newsletter- the People's Periodical. That same year they founded Matica dalmatinska which promoted Croatian Revival ideas along with public reading rooms. The Autonomists, in the latter period of the Revival, were supported by Dalmatian Serbs. Both Autonomists and Dalmatian Serbs opposed the possible unification of Dalmatia with the rest of Croatia. Even though Banska Hrvatska was aknowledged the right over Dalmatia by the Croatian-Hungarian Settlement, the unification with Banska Hrvatska and Slavonia under Hungarian Crown was not possible to be performed because Dalmatia was devolved to Austrian part of the Autrio-Hungarian Monarchy. The People's Party won the elections for the Dalmatian Parliament in 1870. The victory affected the progress and further streghthening of the Croatian National Revival in Dalmatia which was successfully completed with the victory of the People's Party upon local elections in the most meaningful municipality in economic terms, that is the Municipality of Split. The election victory of the People's Party in Split in 1882. marked the victory of the Croatian National Revival in Dalmatia. Croatian language became the official language in Dalmatia in 1883, and by the end of the nineteenth century it was to become the language of education in all schools (with Zadar as an exception) while German and Italian language served only for official notices.
