  Kordun - Wikipedija
Reljefno, Kordun je prijelazna zona između dinarskog planinskog područja (Lika) i ravničarskog prostora Središnje Hrvatske.
godine, Kordun postaje ničija zemlja između Habsburškog i Turskog carstva, izložena stalnim pustošenjima.
Iz tog razdoblja potječe i današnji naziv Kordun (od riječi cordon).

  Creation of a Greater Serbia - Kordun
Until October 1991, the region of Kordun, in the geostrategic sense, constituted a territorial discontinuity between Banija province and the eastern parts of the phantom republic of "Krajina".
Parts of Kordun that administratively fall under the district of Vojnic were from the start of the Serbian uprising merged with the occupied territory, while an enormous part remained under Croatian government control, i.e.
Besides difficulties that arose from the ethnic encirclement of Slunj district and its surroundings, the notorious military testing ground, located southwest of Slunj, to which the command of the V. army was shifted from Zagreb, posed an extra threat to the existence of Croats in the Slunj region.

 Demographics of Croatia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The population change is seen by some as a campaign of ethnic cleansing between 1990 and 1995.
In earlier stages of the war, most of the Croats of eastern Slavonia, Baranja, Banija, Kordun, eastern Lika, northern Dalmatian Zagora and Konavle fled those areas as they were under Serbian military control.
There were several incidents of what can be pretty clearly explained as ethnic cleansing: the attacks on and the subsequent expulsion of population from the villages and towns of Škabrnja, Kijevo, Vukovar, Medak.

 Nacional, Tomislav Turek, the man who incites inter-ethnic hatred in Kordun, 5/18/00
Turek's reign of terror in Kordun started in 1996 when the town of Slunj Commission for Temporary Occupation and Use of Property gave him a use permit for a house and restaurant owned by Dusanka Kosanovic who had escaped after the operation "Storm" from the village of Tocak.
In 1997 he stated that he did not intend to move out of houses that he had received for temporary use together with his wife Elena (who claims for herself to be a Manchurian, a daughter of a Chinese woman and a Frenchman).
It is not surprising that the first tycoon from Kordun, who at the start of his business career sold walking dolls, is fiercely opposing the return of those who unwillingly provided the basis (by providing commercial space for free) for his current status.

Kordun, Katherine is here to see you, should I let her in".
Kordun had used the word "we", which meant that he represented an organization -- one rich enough to afford 20 million credits, one immoral enough to deal with these renegades, one that could use a foothold in renegade space, and one that had ships that they wanted protected interference from pirates.
Kordun couldn't risk sending the order by hypercomm -- no one was sure if the UE was able to monitor renegade transmissions, but they did sometimes seem to have a supernatural knowledge of pre-planned raids -- so he would have to transmit the orders himself.

For every attack by the outlaws, reprisals against their population were organized, so it can be said today that except in a few places all of Kordun is in the hands of the Partizans.
It seems that their main reason for coming here is due to the position of Zumberak, and this summer large groups and now smaller groups of Slovenian Partizans began arriving in the area, remaining here for several months (3 months lately).
Partizans from Kordun and Banija wanted in every way to establish contact with the Partizans of Zumberak, that is with Slovenia itself, so they sent one larger group of Kordun Partizans to Zumberak.
