(11 June 1871 – 8 August 1928) was a Croatian politician and the
founder of the Croatian People's Peasant Party (Hrvatska pučka
seljačka stranka) in 1905. Radić is credited with galvanizing
the peasantry of Croatia into a viable political force.
Throughout his entire career, he was opposed to the union and,
later, Serb hegemony in the first Yugoslavia and became an
important political figure in that country.
