Topic of this thesis is presentation and breakdown of the course of the battle for Livno and its aftermath with regard of preceding and following circumstances in political and military meaning. Thesis intends to justify and emphasize several statements that could be made about the conflict in both narrower and wider sense, those being: defense of Livno as the integral part of the whole of the Homeland war; area of Livno as the territory of immense strategic importance for the successful defense of significant portion of Croatian territory; and as the area of strategic advantage as the starting point of liberation actions. In the regard of those statements, this thesis wants to characterize this battle as the battle of “turning point significance” in a certain way in regard for playing its crucial role in development of the events that will follow and lead to a successful ending of the war – victory of Croatian forces, Croatian nation and Croatian state.
