Radić became a significant figure in Croatian politics through his opposition to the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and later, his resistance against the unification of Croatia with Serbia. His political career included serving in the National Assembly and pursuing policies that sought to enhance Croatian autonomy within the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes.
