The historical phenomenon of the Independent State of Croatia (NDH) is subjected to a basic legal theory analysis, which showed that this Nazi creation, at least to a minimal extent, possessed all the elements of statehood. On a large part of its territory, the Ustasha regime had a monopoly of physical force and was able to implement its basic political purposes. In this regard, the organization of terror against a large number of its inhabitants, which implied a completely new legislation, the formation of new judicial, police and other authorities, the organization of the camp system and railway transport, etc., proves a sufficient measure of the efficiency and regularity of the actions of the NDH state government. Such action produced wartime chaos, which eventually resulted in the loss of elements of statehood, with the creation of a new Yugoslav state in its territory.
