Before 1991 (the year that Zagreb became the capital of a newly-formed Croatia), Croatia had accomplished many things. For example, they built the first grammar school: St Catherine's church and monastery. Unfortuntely, before then, it had no real purpose. Coincedently, Nikola Frankopan to choose Zagreb for the Croatian viceroys. Also, Zagreb was devastated by the fire and the Bubonic Plague. In 1776 though, the council at the time moved from a town called Varaždin to Zagreb to be the command of the Varazdin and Karlovac.

In the 19th century, Zagreb was the centre of the Croatian National Revival and saw the erection of important cultural and historic institutions. In 1850, the town was united under its first mayor - Janko Kamauf. In the first half of the 1900's, Zagreb saw a considerable expansion. They now expanded as far as Stara Pescenia and Crnomec. It also had it's biggest popluation boom. Now, in WWII, it was the capital of an independent Croatia, that was backed by the Germans and Italians, before the Paristians controlled it at the end of the war.

The railway on the Sava boomed after WWII. Also a popluation boom began on the railway on the Sava. The community also expanded into places such as Dubravo, Jarun, Podsused, and other settlements. Ztinjak saw a expansion in the eastern portion of the city. It also hosted the Summer Universaide in 1987.

In 1991, Croatia (including Zagreb) became independent. The war for independence in 1991-1995 came the real battle for Croatia. Zagreb was the site of the fights in the JNA Army Barracks. It was also the site of two missile attacks that killed 7 people. Croatia and the other rebels won the fight, so they became independent.

So that's how Zagreb devolped, and eventually, became the capital of Croatia as we know today.
