The general consensus seems to be that Croatians feel safe because most of the adults remember a time when walking the streets was very unsafe (the Yugoslav Wars), whereas most UK adults remember a time when it was slightly safer to walk the streets. Of course, that explanation assumes the Yugoslav Wars really happened, which I am not entirely convinced is true.

It’s encouraging that you now grasp the difference between perceived safety and actual safety, and that you understand that the former has no correlation with the latter.

On the other hand, it’s disheartening (but not totally unexpected) that you’re unsure about the historicity of the Yugoslav wars: a series of conflicts that left at least 150k people dead and more that 4 millions displaced, lasted more that ten years, involved a dozen countries, resulted in the dissolution of Yugoslavia and the formation of successor states, involved NATO forces, the UN, and has more hard evidence that a dog has fleas.

Why are you writing "that" instead of "than"?

Typos, and I didn’t catch the autocorrect. I didn’t sleep well.
