| | History of Jihad against the Croats (1389 -1699) |
 | | Already in 1391 the area between the rivers Drava, Danube and Sava was exposed to violent attacks of the Ottoman light cavalry, which plundered, devastated and annihilated everything along their way, showing thus what kind of an enemy was to fight. |
 | | Thanks to personal courage and decisiveness of Ivan Morovic the Croat Viceroy of Macva, this attack was repulsed; however, the whole region became deserted and the frightened population evacuated from their settlements. |
 | | The Ottoman army soon took the remnants of the districts of Srebrenica and Jajce, while the towns of Jajce, Banja Luka, Kamengrad and some other fortifications remained as solitary islands in the Ottoman sea. |
