Bosanska Krajina (, ), translated as "Bosnian Frontier", is a geographical region, a subregion of Bosnia, in western Bosnia and Herzegovina enclosed by three rivers - Sava, Una and Vrbas. It is also a historic, economic and cultural entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The largest city, and its historical center is Banja Luka. Other cities include Bihać, Cazin, Velika Kladuša, Prijedor, Sanski Most, Gradiška, Kozarska Dubica, Bosanski Novi, Bosanska Krupa, Ključ, Bosanski Petrovac, Kotor Varoš, Šipovo, Mrkonjić Grad, Drvar, Bosansko Grahovo, Jajce, Kneževo, Bužim, Laktaši, and Čelinac. Bosanska Krajina has no political borders or political representation in the structure of Bosnia and Herzegovina; however it has a significant cultural and historical identity that was formed through several historic and economic events. The territory of Bosanska Krajina is currently divided between two entities of Bosnia and Herzegovina: Republika Srpska and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. ==Naming== The name "Turkish Croatia" was given to the area by the Ottoman Turks and accepted by Austrian, Italian, and German cartographers. Between the 16th and 19th centuries the territory between the Una and Vrbas rivers was referred by the name ''Turkish Croatia''. The name was first used consistently by Austrian military topographers who worked in the Austro-Ottoman border commission after the Treaty of Karlowitz of 1699.〔 In the mid 19th century the name ''Turkish Croatia'' was replaced by cartographers in favor of ''Bosanska Krajina''.〔 It is also sometimes called ''Ljuta Krajina'', meaning "Mad Frontier", due to the many uprisings that broke out there while it was a part of the Ottoman Empire and later Austria-Hungary. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bosanska Krajina」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
