Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei:
I te hurihanga o Hungary o te tau 1848, i te wa i ngana ai a Hungary ki te whai mana mai i a Austria, i mau a Rijeka e nga hoia Croatia (i pono ki a Austria) i whakahaua e Ban Josip Jelačić. I whakauruhia te taone ki Croatia, ahakoa i mau tonu te mana motuhake. I whakahokia a Rijeka ki te mana tika o Hungary i te tau 1868 me te kirimana Whakanoho Croatian-Hungarian, me te whakahou i tona mana hei "corpus separatum" (Hungary "motu" i roto i Croatia). I tautuhia te tuunga o te taone nui me tetahi taapiri motuhake ki te kirimana whakataunga, te mea e kiia nei ko te "Rijeka patch" ("Riječka krpica" i te reo Croatia).
