History & geography

History

The history of Islam Grčki goes back to the Middle Ages. The village was an Uskok stronghold in the 16th and 17th century. The most notable Uskok leader Stojan Janković got possession of the village after the Cretan War. He built the villages most notable object - the Janković Kula. During World War II the village, a Serb enclave surrounded by Croatian villages, was a firm Chetnik militia stronghold. Some villagers also joined the Italian collaborationist Anti-Communist Volunteer Militia. After World War II the village became part of the Socialist Republic of Croatia. During the Croatian war of independence the village was one of the first areas under Krajina Serb control. The village was partly destroyed by shelling during the Croatian-led Operation Maslenica and was overtaken by the Croatian forces on 22 January 1993. A big part of the villages population fled during the war and the village itself suffered a lot material damage. Janković Kula, for instance, was destroyed in the shelling of 1993 but was being rebuilt as of 2012.
