POPES AND PASHAS---TWO IMMIGRANTS

POPES AND PASHAS---TWO IMMIGRANTS

In 1588 the great Spanish Armada attacked England. It is estimated that at least fifteen percent of the war galleons and merchant fleet under Spanish flag were from Dalmatia, Croatia.

In 1588 the Pope, Sixtus V, was a Croatian and the Great Vizier or Prime Minister of the Turkish Empire, Siavus Pasha Hrvat (Croatian) was a Croatian. At that point in time these two individuals were the most powerful and influential men in all of Europe. Both were immigrants; one an “Italian”, the other a “Turk”.

America was being colonized by the English in 1585-1590 at Croatoan-Roanoke on the Atlantic coast in the Carolinas. This was called the Lost Colony. When the English returned in 1590 they found carved on a tree “Croatoan”. Western historians state that Croatoan-Croatan is an Indian word.

Croatia and Croatians are one of the few nations and people in Europe that freely and willingly give up those in immigration as if they are not of Croatian heritage. This is also a form of genocide. Gone are Marko Polo-Traveler, Joseph Haydn-composer, Nikola Tesla-radio, Antonio Lucich-Lucas discovery of oil in America plus many others and the Croatian Pashas of Turkey and those that became illustrious Venetian Italians or Schiavone-Slavonians.
