Zadar| Port and resort in Croatia; population (2001) 69,600. The city was sacked by the army of the Fourth Crusade in 1202, which led to the Crusade being excommunicated by Pope Innocent III. It was alternately held and lost by the Venetian republic from the 12th century until its seizure by Austria in 1813. It was the capital of Dalmatia from 1815–1918 and part of Italy from 1920–47, when it became part of Yugoslavia; it now belongs to independent Croatia. |
