history
The Primorska Banschaft was created in 1929 with the reorganization of the Yugoslav state from the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes to the Kingdom of Yugoslavia under Alexander I. In 1939, the Banschaft became part of the newly established Croatian Banschaft .
After the attack by the Axis powers on the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and the surrender of Yugoslavia in 1941, the Banschaft was dissolved and added to the Ustasha state , while the coastal region was occupied by Italians.
After the war in communist Yugoslavia (SFRY) this area was added to the republics of Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia; the Primorska bank was not renewed.
