At the same time, the Muslim and Serbian population of northern Bosnia invaded the abandoned villages. After the Ottomans withdrew, the Muslim population fled and Serbs and Croats from Bosnia were settled. At the end of the 19th century and with the construction of the railway, there was a wave of colonization from German-speaking countries, the Czech Republic and Hungary, as well as from the Croatian provinces of Gorski Kotar, Lika and Zagorje. After the Second World War (1941–1945) the German-speaking population was expelled, and settlers came from other regions of Croatia. After the outbreak of the War of Independence in 1991, there were again large population movements and very many Serbs left the country.

history

There are no written traces from the time of the great migrations in the 6th century and the settlement of the Croats on today's national territory, so that the first documents date from the late Middle Ages. In the historical sources Rešetari is mentioned for the first time in 1407 in the list of villages in the Požega valley. At that time the place was called Resetarowich Villa. The name villa meant that the village had a church. This was the Catholic Church of John the Baptist. The most famous ruling family was that of the Zapoljski. The manor stretched between Rešetari and Vrbje. The Croatian-Hungarian King Ivan Zapolja (1527–1540) / dt also comes from this family . Johann Zápolya . After the Ottoman sultan Suleyman the Magnificent came to power, the conquest of Slavonia began in 1521. After the defeat of the Christian armies at Mohács, years of Turkish occupation and oppression followed. Only after the defeat of the Ottoman army near Vienna (1683) did the liberation of Rešetari begin. It was not until 1691 that the Turks could be displaced to Bosnia via the Save. After that, the whole region will gradually recover, both demographically and economically. After the liberation of Slavonia, important reforms were carried out to prevent a renewed occupation by the Ottomans. This is how the military border is established. In 1740 the construction of the new administrative center of the military border west of Rešetari began. Later the garrison became the town of Nova Gradiška. During the First and Second World Wars, Rešetari was largely spared from the war. During the Croatian War (1991-1995) the place and the community were repeatedly attacked by the air force and artillery of the Yugoslav People's Army . Many residents served in the Croatian army and contributed to the fact that the place was not occupied.
