citizens threw the agents out a window. The agents landed on a dunghill, so they survived. Nevertheless, they were, in a foul temper( foul temper= very bad characteristics), and (to simplify a bit) the "Defenestration of Prague" led to the Thirty Years War, which quickly, led to the need for Croatian mercenarie's. They were rough-and-ready fellows, but they did not neglect (to pay no attention or too little attention to) the decorative arts: They wore colorful neckwear. The word "'cravat" is derived from the word "Croat” and neckties are descended from what those Croatians wore. Few people at the moment are sticklers (a person who insists on something unyieldingly) about following the fashions of Croatian mercenaries. Because some Croatian soldiers were stationed in Paris, this "Croatian style" greatly impressed their French counterparts. French men adopted this new fashion during the reign of Louis XIV and referred to it as "a la Croate". Eventually, it became known by the French word "cravate".Unlike many fashions, which fade or disappear over time, the necktie has retained its popularity for hundreds of years and is still considered a basic item of most men's wardrobes, rather than just a decorative accessory.The "'cravate" has become wide- spread across Europe, with each country adopting a slightly altered word in their own language.

  I have first heard the word " kravat" from Turkish channels when I was a child. However, I did not realize that this word could be originated in Croatia. Then I learned it from my friend. He talked why the Turkish people called it "kravat". Once the two Croatians came to the Osmanli. The King and other people saw this tie on their neck. They like it and that's why they called it "croatia= kravat".
