Prior History
Croatia was part of Yugoslavia between 1918 and 1991, so Croatians played for the Yugoslavia national water polo team during this period. During the Independent State of Croatia (1941-1945), the national team was also organized. Its roster included Ivo Štakula.

Famous quotes containing the words prior and/or history:
“Less smooth than her Skin and less white than her breast
Was this pollisht stone beneath which she lyes prest
Stop, Reader, and Sigh while thou thinkst on the rest
With a just trim of Virtue her Soul was endu’d
Not affectedly Pious nor secretly lewd,
She cut even between the Cocquet and the Prude.”
—Matthew Prior (1664–1721)
“Every library should try to be complete on something, if it were only the history of pinheads.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
