history
The Banschaft Vrbas was created in 1929 with the reorganization of the Yugoslav state from the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes into the Kingdom of Yugoslavia under Alexander I. With the establishment of the Croatian Banschaft in 1939, smaller areas with Derventa in the northeast fell to the new Banschaft. After the attack by the Hitler regime on the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and the capitulation of Yugoslavia in 1941, the Banschaft Vrbas was added to the Ustaše State , which dissolved it and integrated it into its new territory. After the war, Bosnia-Herzegovina was formed in communist Yugoslavia within the borders before 1918 and as a federal republic, the Vrbas Banschaft was not renewed.
