1925 Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes parliamentary election in the context of "Croatian Peasant Party"

The Croatian Peasant Party (Croatian: Hrvatska seljačka stranka, HSS) is an agrarian political party in Croatia founded on 22 December 1904 by Antun and Stjepan Radić as Croatian Peoples' Peasant Party (HPSS). The Brothers Radić believed that the realization of Croatian statehood was possible within Austria-Hungary, but that it had to be reformed as a monarchy divided into three equal parts – Austria, Hungary, and Croatia. After the creation of Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1918, the party requested self-determination for the Croatian part of the kingdom. This brought them great public support, which culminated in HPSS winning 50 seats, a majority assigned to Croatia in the 1920 parliamentary election.

In 1920, disgruntled with the position of Croats in the kingdom, the party changed its name into Croatian Republican Peasant Party (HRSS) and started advocating secession from the kingdom and the establishment of a "peaceful peasant Republic of Croatia". In the 1923 and 1925 elections, HRSS doubled the number of votes they received, making them the second largest party in the Parliament of Yugoslavia.
