Why did Yugoslavia Collapse?

Slobodan destroyed Yugoslavia He want a greater Serbia

On the Road with my Family in a Ford Taunus car from İstanbul/Turkey to Napoli-İtaly and Munich-Germany (for Olympic games 1972) we were there too! Wonderful, lovely country, with happy and beautiful people were what we experienced. So sad what happened afterwards:(

then behind the close doors that was not the case at all slaughters of millions of people etc

@Gamer god Relative to the other communist countries, which were under Soviet control, life in Yugoslavia was pretty good. What you most definitely didn't do was make any statement critical of the government. True shopping was not done by creating a shopping list...you went out and bought what you could, got it home and then thought what the heck can I cook with this. Strangely though, when you could get things like mushrooms, they were a treat and savored.

How did you like the communism

What up with those degenerate anti Serbia comment???

@kamran misri no it doesnt lol !

@caftaeresting réplique! I drove through Yugoslavia once, and travelled through it by train once. Having lived and studied in Spain beforehand some years before I was drawn to making comparisons between the two dictatorships that were Franco’s and Tito’s and unjustifiably resulting in favour of Franco’s but purely by the social fact that the people of Spain had little hesitation in sharing their antipathy with an Englishman, whereas wherever I stopped in Yugoslavia, and even in tourist motels et al I found no one absolutely not a soul, willing or able to communicate inner feelings. I was so disappointed and couldn’t understand it at all! Indeed the only two occasions where I have thought in retrospect that I should and could have developed some philo-politico-socio thought exchange by correspondence were a) a few words with s/o in a train corridor who responded to my negative observations suggesting that my thoughts might lie with a « Rexist » alternative which was his word suggested. He seemed open to a discreet exchange but linguistics failed us also there were too many around in the train corridor but a great pity because intellectually he was above them all eg he could have been a doctor. The other instance was a waiter in the very southern town of Niss near the Greek frontier to whom I expressed some light-hearted politico banter observation, who apparently took my point favourably but added a « shush » indication of warning for me to be careful with what I expressed… Thus did I compare Franco Spain and Tito Yugoslavia…to my frustration never able to reach any kind of conclusive comparison as to reasons for Yugoslavs to be so reticent…Where Spaniards were so expansive… despite theihLater I gave up concluding that Slavs were not open-minded and ever suspicious because of their long-lasting history of their role of subservient class to semi feudal social environments…and far too belated reforms leaving their mental states much too be desired. Far example, what can one think where a Russian Czar was murdered by his people yet he had done so much to free them from their serfdom? Isn’t that enough to sense that the very concept of Goodness is in no way the monopoly of any single class?

Germany in 2023 literally.

It isn't multiculturalism when you have seven nations sewn together. Multiculturalism means all cultures spread throughout.

​@Petar N there were no concentration camps in this part of Europe! Srijem was back then part of Croatia. We don't deny that Ustaše were bad and doing bad things but there was no genocide! Pardon me, there was...genocide of Croatians in east Herzegovina? And who prosecuted them? Četnici!

​@Petar N and another missinformation. Serbia was under direct control of Nazis and your home traitor Nedić. Ustaše ccouldn't be blamed for Belgrade. And one more thing...Jewish comunity center in Zagreb was only one in all Nazi Europe that survived during the war. It was never closed like in rest of occupied nations.

This is very faulty and shallow explanation of collapse of Yugoslavia. Any effort to explain divisions between Ex-Yugoslav nations and final collapse without any mention of Greater Serbia as an Serbian idea concieved around mid 19th century will result in very shallow and unsatisfactory explanation of subject. Also, video is containing bunch of ideas which are wrong, first of all, before Yugoslavila broke, Croats and Slovenes naver supported alleged separatism of Albanians at Kosovo autonomuos region, nor such idea existed before late 1990-es. Instead only what existed at Kosovo region during Yugoslav federation were large birthrates among Albanians, which resulted local Serbians suddently became minority, because of which Serbians were anxious. When talking about Kosovo it is iportant to know Serbs consider the place as historical birth place of Serbian nation, this is another important reason they are anxious about fact they became minority there. Furthermore, it is completely wrong idea the collapse of Yugoslavia started because Kosovo, it started mostly because of Serbia led by Slobodan Milosevic, which tried to form Greater Serbia taking large parts of Croatian and Bosnian territory, commiting mass atrocities, ethnical cleansing of non Serbs, and all kind of war crimes. In video you never mentioned fact at beggining of 1990. Serbia led by Milosevic first spread fear among Croatian Serbs, and also Yugoslav army dominated by Serbs gave local serbs abundance of heavy weapons, and they started rebelion against Croatia (very same Russia did at Donbas and Luhansk region in Ukraine). Also video never mentioned, Serbian tanks and thousands of soldiers crossed over Croatian border to invade Croatia, you never mentioned Vukovar, Croatian town at very border of Croatia and Serbia, that was invaded by Serbia. In Vukovar Serbian forces commited huge attrocities ranging from mass rape, mass murder, mutilation of people to arson and destroying historical buildings. Again you would understand subject much much better if you get known better with efforts of creation of Greater Serbia, which led not only to colalpse of second Yugoslavia but also to WW1 and creation of Kingdom of Yugoslavia and all Serbian issues with their neighbours since second half of 19th century till today.

@luan berisha Arnavutlar balkanlarda kadim bir halktır ama tarihsel süreçte önemli bir rol oynayamadiklarini biliyoruz elaine hakli olarak yer vermemiş

@tom gu yes, same story like Putin had for Ukraine. Brotherly nations think alike

@allanhouston22 there was never a concentration camp in srebrenica and those were local serbs living in bosnia who defend bosnia from croatia nazis and Muslims

I was born in republika srpska! In 2000!

Reminds me of our Congress and blue/red states

No this was a very bad video. U should watch a documentary to actually understand

Kao sto ni WW2 ne je završio,ali eto izgleda da se uskoro mora sve rjesit

Remember: my religion, ethnicity, and language is better than yours. Everyone repeat this.

Sad but true. Good thing do there are lots of us from old YU states that look toward btighter future without hatred. Learn from past to make better tomorrow.

@Tare Duka well considering what Salih Mustafa did to his own people I wonder what horrible thing people like that have done to Serbians, and there are plenty of people like that in Kosovo you call them terrorists.

@Zeljko Opalic cosa hanno fatto Zeljko?!??

Yea, and now only Croatia is good in all of those :)

Nikola Tesla

All these countries are far better off alone. Yugoslavia ended itself when it threatened those Croatian helicopters.

@JUNO PUNO neka njih, samo neka nas opet ne uvlaće u neke njihove kuhinje

@Sladan Petkovic what do u think serb name came from? from serv as a servant

@Ernest Frigelj I would not go that far but, I would argue that for large parts of history many, many peoples had very little consciousness of their official Kings and rulers except when wars raged through or taxation was pushed to fund said wars. The rest of the time most are just too busy surviving to care.

@Brad Clifton i guess to simplify what i am trying to say is that Yugoslavia never was a nation that had new nations comming out of it. Same as Great Britain isnt a nation, its, basicaly a geographical definition. Southslavia was a region that unified few prexisting nations

@Brad Clifton hmm. there are few things in ur comment that doesnt hit the chord somehow. Yugoslavia literally means Jugo (prononouced as Yugo) - south and Slavia as in slavic lands. Yugoslavia was never really a nation but union of south slavic existing nations as its name suggests... a Southslavia. Within those nations and their traditional teritorries there was a mixing due to that region being in European center of east/west struggle for centuries (west and east roman empire, later west europe and ottoman europe etc), but Union of south slavs had defined nations within it and for most defined borders (counting all the disputes etc which exists eveywhere). Most of Yugoslav republics were actually a nations that were kingdoms etc and had their own parliments and statehood regardless of independent or part of union status, and that was the fact for bigger part of Yugoslav nations, uinterupted statehoood since 8th, 9th century. If you want to argue nationhood bcs of complexity of a nation, then what are english really? In england one speaks bastart german/nord/french language and is a product of brittons raped by a roman raped by angles and saxons raped by a viking, raped by another viking who is now a neutralised french, where you have Yorkish/northumbrian dane law north with perdominantly saxon south forming a... nation? Things are always complex

@slaven vulic yup. I'd agree with that. But, much of that nationhood was in dualities and multiplicities. Several different cultures with different ideas of what would define a nation. Often very contradictory. No more so that between Christian and Muslim nations. Again, former Yugoslavia was just such a place. The region may have a defined title but, that does not create one people, one nation. As with Ireland, their submission to British rule was largely enforced at the end of sword, spear and musket. They are part of a region called Britain but, today. Do the Irish primarily define themselves as Irish or Britain's or, are the interchangeable. I'd suggest, push come to shove, we would see 4 nations not one, should the very thin tether of burocrats fail.

@RAV true, and then you guys made each other unwelcome

​@Your Neighbour That happened in Yugoslavia. When politicions of every state became greedy of power, thay separate the country 😒

@Twenty Two Every developing country has political hounds that specialize in violence. They trigger the fears of people and the people are naive and pushed enough to fall for it. So yes. Hindu and muslim groups did skirmish in India on multiple occasions. Delightfully, the new generation is empowered enough to reduce it and there is less of it now.

Can you please explain to me something? I watched the movie Slumdog Millionaire, and there's a scene where Muslims and Hindus are in conflict. Is this based on a true story?

Ok

@Richard Bas are you some nazzi ustashe descendant from WW2?? 😳 how you mean croats hated Yugoslavia, part of croatian people were with serbs just like Tito, against the evel?!

Those are Serbians you are talking to bro. All lies. Croatians short of a few older Communists hated Yugoslavia. Same with Slovenians. You speak to Serbs. .

not just old people. My parents also grew up in yugoslavia. And they‘re not communist

Where is caos USA has always to do with it and some countries in Europe.

Where is caos USA has always to do with it and some countries in Europe.

Divide & conquer

@emergesteel and vietnam

@Tim Yumichuck you obviously know nothing about history

@Tim Yumichuck world war 1? Soviet union did not exist at the time During both world wars, Serbia was actually more aligned with the British empire, that is why during both wars the Serbian monarchy retreated to British protectorates The Godfather of the current crown prince of Serbia is King Charles the third of England Sorry to point it out but your opinion is clouded by prejudice and is not backed by facts

Totally agree on everything

@П Ч sorry bit I disagree, not the census of 1991 but the census of 1941 should have determined the new national borders, anything else rewarded genocide. Unfortunately, in the 90's that was the case and as such all sides clambered to boost their numbers at the expense of others. As for the Macedonians, they wanted peace and probably are paying the highest price, having to negotiate their non existence to join the EU

No Croats are complaining

@Pierce Blackburrow Sebs, croats and bosnians did not hate wach other. We were manipulated by our leaders and the west. if you rally think that we all hated each other then you must've lived in a pretty fuked up place.

Yugoslavia was made up of several State Unions, some of which trace their roots back to 1189. And the idea of ​​Yugoslavia gathered true fighters against the world order of that time

Decko ti pojma nemas o ovome, raspitaj se malo ,malo vise

@Andrej Grebenc Quite true, and also, the very name "Jugoslavija" was formalized by the king only in the late 20's, not before.

It was called the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenians (SHS). They did not recognize Montenegrins, Macedonians and Bosnians.

Yugoslavian women are truly the most beautiful in the world.

@Ignjat Horvath Thanks for that brilliant opinion about a country I know very little about, but I do admire the peoples integrity..

@Twenty Two I liked your story because everything you said was true regarding how people communicated during that time period.. We can now use Facebook messenger while talking to people all over the world for FREE, and see the many beautiful faces of the people we admire..🙂

I'm born in 1996. but i know a lot about Yugoslavia because my parents are from Macedonia. What an interesting time to be alive. Modern enough to visit other countries and meet new random people who speak a different language and have a good time together. But still not modern enough to have social media and ask for her facebook hehe.. You had to write down a name and address on a piece of paper so you can write letters afterwards. Occasionally you would use a phone call, but international phonecalls would be too expensive. My mom told me a story when she was on a school trip in another country, she had a small radio device shaped like a coca-cola bottle. Very cool and unique item for it's time. She borrowed it to a friend from another country and accidentally forgot it there. After my mom came home from the school trip, she spent weeks or probably over a month trying to get in contact with her friend, asking a friend who knows a friend who knows a friend, just to get the name and address to write a letter and get the radio back haha..

@Mmm good for you

@Uzi Thedreadpoet pfft no and it’s football big man not soccer

@Miss Pinky Jujubean expect for football (soccer) bc they couldn't beat Cameroon, not gonna lie Cameroon is a good team, but most ppl expect u to beat them

@Astro and 2018 bro And maybe 2022 but we never know

You do not understand anything...

It was the serbs who did a genocide on the muslims in bosnia

Actually author put just superficial knowledge which actually isnt quite or true at all...Why would you believe everything you see im first place..

You said it! Germany took revenge for the painful defeat they had in WWII against Marshall Tito!

@Milica Stanar no... there is more muslims at least in the census reports. i have yet to see a single count that says there are more albanian catholics than muslims

​@kamran misri Thare are probably more Albanians who are Catholics than Muslims. Mother Teresa was a Catholic. But never mind, God is one

@Dževad Bayraktar there are no turks in Albania at all

@kamran misri in your dreams there are no muslim ethnicities but nationalities bosnan albanians etc there are moslems, catholics and orthodox albanians in one single nation and 3 states no caliphate in Balkans we are not middle east

@Kosovar Berisha its complicated; many turks that stayed in todays Albania for example are today Albanians even in Kosova they over time became Albanians excepts few small pockets; at one time turiksih local people were adding vic to their last name too and even in albania ended their last name with I because there was racism and pressure when Ottoman Empire collapsed and those people that stayed were afraid thus they often localized their last name to slavic sounding or Albanian sounding depending where they were...it really only shows what area you maybe live in; for example turks in Azerbaijan sometimes have ov in their last names because of that time period it doesn't mean they are not Turkish/azeri so these guys are Albanians just bc they have vic it doesn't mean they are not and besides they can also change their last names to original if they remember it but usually people leave it alone if it has been couple or more generations

Yes, one of the biggest lies being sold in this part of Europe is that Yugoslavia was an economical powerhouse. It was almost like a Potemkin village. On paper, per capita, it was the poorest of all eastern European nations. The only travelling Yugoslavs did was to go do "baustela" work in Germany. While Czech, Hungarian, Polish tourists came to Yugoslavia for leisure summer holidays. The 80's inflation was the last nail in the coffin.

@Gerry🇷🇺 kosovo is Dardania, before Slaves come in Balkans. Always albanian land

Albania: we want a part of your country. Serbia : No way America/ NATO : ok we will sort something out for you, don't worry .

"Town of KIN" 😂😂😂😂

Bad and overplayed joke - which is even wrong. Look up Neum. The real joke should be Moldavia: I want to go to the beach. Ukraine: NO! Look it up. The border is a real troll move haha

@Fortnite and News and what "big and rich" nation do you belong?

@UNS GUS My friend, i wouldnt laugh with that level of ignorance

@worlddd777 communists against communists haha

Yugoslavia almost went to war with Soviets in 48, because they said no to Stalin

Yugoslavia was never part of the Soviet sphere after WW2.

@Nikica Dini Renic To inform you About war the great powers decide and the peoples follow

@fightback don't forget that USA an UK, always find help from inside, and western and Eastern parts of ex Yu are still on the tail of Western world

Yes , they were a safe harbour for many from the West and from the East . Yugoslavia was extremely important to many people just because it had a lot more freedom than the USSR. On the other hand they were not a pro USA country . Yugoslavia worked in many good ways and Tito should have tried to adres the differences as well . But he was just one . Others could have made more effort into modernising the power structure . On behalf of Yugoslavia i say these problems are being faced by many nations and Federations in the world. Nigeria is a good example . Belgium also . It needs working inside federations of different people. But USA destroys everything. Britain also .

Serbs

This is the history of Europe in a nutshell.

Not crocodiles...sharks..

More like a small pound surrounded by crocodiles.

@Ivan Jelenic Agreed, Yugoslavia seems more diversified (which doesn’t really change what I wrote above).

@Tomasz Rabianski its not exactly the same - e.g. theres 3 different religions here, etc.

yet they still exist

@Waynos Fotos that's what they want you to belive.

@Waynos Fotos it would have started anyways

@spid volem yep! And the Serbs started World war one.

@Timothy Hernandez actually there is a war every 30-40 years

@Sasuke honestly, serbia, macedonia, north parth of albania and west part of bulgaria share the same DNA hapalogroup, while croatia, montenegro, bosnia and herzegovina have the same... so... i think borders betwen croatia and serbia should be like that

@Jasna Car ¹1¹¹11

@kingkonut The Ottomans curved out the middle. Some Croats moved to Austra then, in 1500s, and other converted to islam, eventually ceasing to consider themselves as Croats. We got it back, but Tito renewed old colonial borders

This is the top comment? Wow such insight smh.

@RosieQueen68 All this countries have soo different languages that there is nothing to unite them.

You are correct, but religious problems can easily be swept under ethnic difference since it coincided with other ethnic lines.

@No Name croatian mother , like Doncic half serbian , Drazen petrovic , dario saric , luka modric and many more thats why its just sad not to be the same country

@Josip Zekić maybe true if you look on group sports , but if you look at individulas , watch how brutal that would be at first place , plus i think footbal in only case and maybe accident , but if you have more quality , bigger chance to be better in all sports , and we from yugoslavia are very talented for everything

@GoykoRajak Im pretty sure that Novak Đoković is half Croatian also

@Josip Zekić Were they not good in basketball?

Maja pogledaj ovo

@Antonio Gonzalez🖤 🤘 he meant in Europe as it was commonly stated by some western military

Yugoslavia was fastest growing military/economy power in europe. Which Britts, French and Germans didn't like it at all. But yes Yugoslavia was 4th military power, but not in World, in Europe.

4 military power in world em but if so you wold have sanduiched nato not being sanduiched by nato

Best comment!!!!

not until when he heard the word bowling and meet a psychopath

@Eddo Dorocic its easy to look at it that way isnt it so now lets ignore the fact serbs denied culture and language of croats saying its only catholic serbs in turn radicalising the people which would then go on to commit genocide as a revange and then you have partisans which denied both serbs and croats and the cycle repete except this time croats tried to get out peacfully but people were afriad nothing will be different from last time sparking the war which radicalises both sides. Once again its easy to point to these issues and say thats to be blamed but thats ignoring the very complicated history serbs and croats have together and in this post i didnt even talk about chetnik slaughter of croats and muslims or even about muslims at all so yes it is way more complicated

Finally someone saying this. He says at the beginning that it goes way before but then doesnt touch upon all the things that happened during ww2 and before.

Love from NSW

I agree.❤

yah ethnic division indeed

😄😁

😹

@Amarillo Rose just like brother same in Indonesia Is founder member non aligned movement and just indonesian founding father Ir. Soekarno some point have ideology like Yugoslavia, to play both side Indonesia use Soviet to have money built infrastructure or Military power use west allies to secure inteligent and have insurance for independent fortunately Yugoslavia pay a price for full scale civil war thats criple your unity to separate each other meanwhile in Indonesian have issue and history some indonesian comander have abduct and kill by Comunist party and Communism move movement genocide some bunch religious person this version history is just written by own Government have Controversional & taboo value Soekarno Regime change by dictatorship by General Soeharto & i know this history just because coldwar theather capitalist vs Communism movement

@Benjamin Christensen It is propaganda we were fed back in the day. It still exists in Serbia, other former republics woke up from that dream. I can name at least 10 countries of top of my head that were stronger and I'm sure there were many more. USA, Soviet Union, Great Britain, France, China, India, Both Koreas, Both West and east Germany, Italy, Turkey, Iraq, South Africa, Israel, Egypt, Poland even Bulgaria and Romania had armies that equaled in numbers to Yugoslav army.

@Milos Obrenovic LOL.. 4th in the world, but 6th in Europe?? I don't think you are a logical being...

​@Richard Bas damn bro I am glad you was there and watching everything .

@Ned Serbia was for maintaining a united Yugoslavia. They controlled and dominated the other regions. Took the wealth from more prosperous Croatia and Slovenia. Enforced Serbian doctrine over Catholic regions. Serbs used threats, violence, imprisonment and execution as their main weapons. Anyone who tells you any different is lying to you. The only Croats or Slovenes that supported a unified Yugoslavia were small factions of Communist sympathizers. Large majority of Croatians were and ha e always been Croatian Nationalists and never recognized Yugoslavia. It was also a bloody war when it broke up. Serbs committed some of the worst atrocities of man vs man in human history.

@Richard Bas so what? Serbs were favorized in Yugoslavia? Then why would they destroy it? Or serbs defended Yugoslavia? I am a little confused..

You are Serb. Thats why.

This video is very faulty and shallow explanation of collapse of Yugoslavia. Any effort to explain divisions between Ex-Yugoslav nations and final collapse without any mention of Greater Serbia as an Serbian idea concieved around mid 19th century will result in very shallow and unsatisfactory explanation of subject. Also, video is containing bunch of ideas which are wrong, first of all, before Yugoslavila broke, Croats and Slovenes naver supported alleged separatism of Albanians at Kosovo autonomuos region, nor such idea existed before late 1990-es. Instead, only what existed at Kosovo region during Yugoslav federation were large birthrates among Albanian population, which resulted local Serbians suddently became minority, and became very anxious. When talking about Kosovo it is iportant to know Serbs consider the place as historical birth place of Serbian nation, this is another important reason they are anxious about fact they became minority. Furthermore, it is completely wrong idea the collapse of Yugoslavia started because Kosovo (and alleged Croatian and Slovene support of idea), it started exactly because of Serbian nationalism and expansionism led by Slobodan Milosevic, which tried to form Greater Serbia taking large parts of Croatian and Bosnian territory, commiting mass atrocities, ethnical cleansing of non Serbs, and all kind of war crimes. Video never mentioned fact, at beggining of 1990. Serbia led by Milosevic first spread huge fear among Croatian Serbs missusing history, also Yugoslav army dominated by Serbs gave local serbs abundance of heavy weapons, and local Croatian Serbs started rebelion against Croatia (very same Russia did at Donbas and Luhansk region in Ukraine). Also video never mentioned, Serbian tanks and thousands of soldiers crossed over Croatian border to invade Croatia, video never mentioned Vukovar, Croatian town at very border of Croatia and Serbia, that was invaded by Serbia after it was flattened with earth sa same as Mariuople in Ukraine. In Vukovar Serbian forces commited huge attrocities ranging from mass rape, mass murder, mutilation of people to arson and destroying historical buildings. Again you would understand subject much much better if you get known better with efforts of creation of Greater Serbia, which led not only to colalpse of second Yugoslavia but also to WW1 and creation of Kingdom of Yugoslavia and all Serbian issues with their neighbours since second half of 19th century till today.

@MrLouka005 The Greek mathematician and astronomer, Aristarchus of Samos, 330 BCE. Is the first that said… Earth is a sphere orbiting the sun together with the visible planets, in a Heliocentric system. It took 1800 years for humans to settle on that idea. And even today some people will argue about that.

@MrLouka005 He is doing some brain gymnastics. Chakavian speakers switched to Shtokavian in 16th century, deliberatly. This is well documented in Croatian dictionaries, like I said, from Bartol Kasic and Jakov Mikalja, in 16th century. So, in 17th century a lot of Chakavians turn to be Shtokavinized. Toth means Slovak, and Hungarians have a lot of Horvath surname so Hungarians can confirm everything. Slavonia never ment Slovakia, name of what Venice used, for Slaveni, Schiavoni, and Schiavonia, and there is a Catholic church of San Giorgio, so that means for Croats, not Serbs, and not Slovaks, so you see, that didn't mean Slovakia. Slovenens that lived in Holy German Empire can confirm that, ofc, that those were Slavs, and not only Slovaks, as Slavic first meant Slavonic,like the language Old Church Slavonic, and slave/Slavs is latest Anglo-saxon- franco- german rasism, as in latin slaves were namesd servus, and Sclavos were Slaveni that lived in Sclavinie, as latin languages back then couldn't tolerate sl and used insted sk or sc. Slovenes can also confirm Istria situation, and that after the great plague, they came to live as Venice offered and needed people. A lot of family in 16th centuries from islands were transported to Istria. Sure thing is that all those slavic people before Hungarians came lived in Great Moravia with Czechs, also, and in Samo's Empire. But, they don't have any problems today one with another, only Serbia is provoking this nonsense. Lately. I read theory that Romanians were forced by Vatican to speak their language as they are- guess- ofc- Serbs!!!! Languages are recognized as different, and sure that is due to all language that are spoken, not just standard, as Croatia have Kaikavian and Chakavian and Serbia Torlakian it is due to different literature. Lately, they want to steal that, too. Also, Czechs and Slovaks they have their languages separated. It is the same thing. You can see malicious one can be or just ignorant. Not sure what is worse. So, ofc that once Kaikavian speakers and some people from Slavonia maybe - were the people of Samo's Empire with Slovaks, Czechs, Slovenians, and of Great Moravia but that was long time ago, before Croats came and establish some political and military primitive state under Franks. They however are not Serbs, and Serbs did the same, absorbed some Slavs living there , and why, well, those Slavs didn't have good military organization, not political entity for a a big kingom/empire or big number of Slavs. Croats and Serbs both were just warriors that came picked other people living there, like Hungarians did a bit later. Croats anyhow never forced nor fight that Great Moravia (we still don't know the real borders of that one) like Hungarians. Croats pacted with Hungarians (choose their king) and made a good deal, preserved political and military organization that Hungarians respected and still Croats and Hungarians (and the Poles) are best friends. Later, people of Varazdin nor Slavonia didn't live in Holy Roman Empire like Slovenians or Czechs. They became Catholic with the time after Schism and not Orthodox, and identity with Croats, not Hungarians (well Zapolya was choosen by Hungarians), and that is whole story, why he is not stating that Slovaks are Czechs then? Then after fall of Austro Hungarian Empire and religious division was made by Serbs after they got their Orthodox church, and after the language divison failed, people got trapped in King's dictatorship, that they hated, as Habsburgs were for Croats heroes that saved them of Ottomans, Croats never liked Gavrilo Princip, or that kingdom of Yugoslavia that was prision, and no, due to partisans and last war Croats have modern Croatia not due to serbian King who erased Croatia (and Slovenia). Hell, even Montenegrins rebel first. This is another brain salto, common online that Croatia independence has something to with serbian king who erased Croatian name. And funny, how never ever question Slovenia, so one can in details see malicios, and fixation of Croatia and it is deeply psycological issue and problem. I don't know is it due to WW2, but Croats weren't Ustashe supporters only 2-3% of them were (those were maily form Herzegovina, and in the last war, Croats didn't know that part of them in Herzegovina started to was with Bosniaks Muslims, and more Croats died in the WW2, there is census from 1947 because Ustashe were covered and Croats fought as partisans, whole cities were partisans like Sibenik). Anyhow, this history today is not so important, once upon a time, some Croats, Czechs, Slovaks and Slovenians lived in Great Moravia and spoke the same, because nation today, it is political and not historic decision. Voivodina then should be returned to Germans. And Zadar to Italy. It is not like that, anyhow. Croatia has its propaganda also, but not about Croatia or Slavonia, as they were always mostly croatian, slavic, for thousand years, but with Venice, as Venice was an ally, without Venice due to Ragusa (that wasn't so free city like they love to tell and identity with, it was Ottoman client, so to say, gave Neum, what Dalmatia and Istria would be Croatia today? Probably it would be Bosnia). But Serbs however, have a bigger problem, and probably will have forever. Due to several brain gymnastics their propaganda is doing, and I don't think this will be solved ever, but lucky for Croatia, Montenegro and Bosnia, NATO is there. Serbia ofc is vassal state of Russia, that had to gave up Montenegro and had to recognized it after Russia did.

@Josipa G i know that he is wrong, but he think that he is right. He should educate, read and think, and that is not google It . Reading books and Thinking is Hard. Propaganda is easy. And that is the sad thing people who knows the thruth dont even want to talk or wrtite about it. Thank you regarding this and time with writing the Thruth. And the the ones who think they knows are right. Modern times. It is like people who think Earth is Flat, the number of belviers are growing.... sad

The Serbs had zero interest in Slovenia! In Slovenia there was not an substantial Serb population. Plus in Slovenia no mineral resources.

This is best explanation. Between NATO and Warsaw pact (and others) there woos no place for "nesvrstani" (non-sided).

Yup, they play on local greed/ego/megalomania, flame the discord, and push from the sides.

Im from bosnia

That is because people from that region get very heated, and rightly so. This video does not cover what happened on the ground. Villages were attacked by military, Men shot, women graped and then the entire village burnt to the ground without any survivors, (well all they could find). Every single person killed. All sides did this, it was, genicide, racial clensing, what ever you want to call it. Many can still remember the horrors and hatred is still ingrained in many people. Many lost children were brought up by foster families after WW2 and the 90s war. People will never forget these horrific times. War could spark again, we have Muslims and Christian Orthodox leaving in very close proximity in Bosnia Herzegovina with the border of Republicka of sprka, and currently there is tension.

I hope it was meant to be ironic?

There’s just so much conflict in our history it’s hard to have a firm grasp on everything.

A vehicle manufacturer could spend one extra dollar for quality and make the new owner happy .

I liked the Yugo cars ; small city car, gas efficient, and new design. If made with "quality" steering wheel, dash plastic, bolts ; engine, wheel & axle bearings ; interior ; softer shocks & tires they would be competing with Fiat 500 & Smart cars. To be so good at sports they certainly could build quality vehicles .

xD

Hahahahahahah. Laughable bro! You have been misled and those are dillusional thoughts.

Yep me too. People dont understand and lie.

That was never the case. Ethnic tention, hate, and struggling economy has always been the norm. The only difference was that it was held together, hidden and repressed by tito's terrany back then

@worlddd777 Yes, there are many complexities to be considered, and as with every conflict in history, you'll get different interpretations of key events from people on opposing sides. The writing was on the wall long before the war officially started, and although I was just around 10 at the time, I remember the pre-war arming period clearly. Back then I lived in Virovitica, and one day, as we were returning from a nearby field, our truck was stopped at the town entrance. We were warned that it would be best to avoid going back home for the time being, but I was given no further details by my parents. When we finally returned later that evening I found out what had taken place: the local garrison of Yugoslav People's Army, the army that was supposed to be the sole protector all of us, was caught distributing weapons to Serbian civilians in the area. That's another important detail that this video fails to mention - many high-ranking positions in Yugoslav republics other than Serbia were also held by Serbs, and that was especially true in the army. Thankfully, some of them, primarily the more cultured and better educated officers, weren't too keen on waging war against largely unarmed people - often their friends and neighbours - and that gave us a fighting chance in the early days of the war, at least in some parts of the country.

@uglyenoughtobewise A lot was going on that people dont know. In december od 1990, Serbs were cancelled from Croatian constitution as equal nation, followed by Spegel secret video where he talks about arming and attacking Yugoslavian army also in 1990. And finally, there were many attacks on army bases one year before war officially started and no one talks about this. Kosovo was planned for war since 1970s, it was just matter of time.

​​​@Dževad Bayraktar No people in Serbia mixed very little with Turks, We have less than 1% of their genes. But I don't know whats it like today among Muslims in Bosnia, couse I have seen a lot of people from Arabic countries there. Yes we are mix of old Balkan people and Sloveni and all Sloveni like Norwegians and people from Sweden( sve dan) have haplogrup I.

@MachineThatCreates original serbs were not tall; it was when they mixed and all other slavs with local tall people in balkans especially dinaric mount people the genetics changed and later mixing with turks it all contributed to better genetics unfortunately serbs continue to have bad leaders who lie to them almost about everything thus create future problems for next generation

@My MIa happy days. Slavs are healthy tall and great basketballers. I asked my mum why I and Slavs in general are tall and she said "because we walked all the way from the Carpathians and our legs stretched" sounded good to me.

Yes you are right.We beat the Yanks and basketball was one of the most popular sports back then ...it remained the same in Serbia and Croatia until present day.Serbia alone won the Yenks too.

Did someone say KFC

@Valdrin Rexhepi That was opposite Albanian killing Serbian. Still doing with American help

@Nikola Avramov incorrect, it was BBC

@Бојан Илић Yes, protesting should be a death sentence.

Failed state.

For end, Yugoslavia was never part of Soviet area, it was communist but never under Soviets, so term "behing iron rurtain" is completely wrong when talking about Yugoslavia.

​@Nikola Avramov I'm Hungarian and I remember seeing things on TV as a kid in the mid 1990s not understanding much. But I do remember a Serbian kid tell me about the Croatian Ustaše in "Operation Storm" during August 1995, which he told me in 1998 about how they "were kicking people out of their house". It was something that stuck out to me. By 1999 with the growth of an infant Google, there was more uncensored information coming through, especially where the search results were less rigged. I also learned the the truth about the NATO bombings and the US-sponsored Kosovar separatists. So I learned quite a bit at the young age of 9, so I could easily see through similar scams ever since then.

I forgot to mention, my mother and her family are from Novi Sad, Serbia.

My mom taught me about the history of this because she herself lived through it. That's why she came to the United States in 1992, when she was only 12 years old. She has seen her friends in wheelchairs or missing arms because of the war.

unfortunately even though you progressed you are still manipulated through your goodness and kindness to the point where its just plain stupid and self destructive...and you carry that burden without even knowing it...just like the old ones ...

@Mike Lastname your way of life is in caucassian roots which come straight out of bosnia long before britain was even settled or sweden.

@Драгољуб Михаиловић tito was a definitely proserbian

Reminds me of Chavez/Maduro. The charisma and adoration of the people can keep a rickety house from crumbling but eventually when that leader passes on the whole thing collapses... Then people clamour for the good old days not realizing it was always a mirage

Many leaders were Taurean, Tito, Tito was Taurean /Dragon as was Tsar Nicholas ll and Idi Amin, Both Hitler and Saddam Hussein were Taurean /Ox's, Lenin, Queen Elizabeth ll. Just saying.

I mnoge buduće naraštaje raseljene,a one sto su ostali predali se nasilju,drogama,mafiji i teskim zivotom.

Most countries are not good.

Realy? What if we realy didn't want to stay? What if we realy wanted to be independent? Greetings from Croatia.

Maybe so, but the internal turmoil and dysfunction made all that possible. Ultimately, Yugoslavia has mostly itself to blame for why it collapsed.

Correct.

Let me be clear: Croats do not hate Serbs. We just don't want us to be the same country. If Serbians do want that (which we all supposedly know they still do), and Croatians don't want that, then Serbs have only 2 options, really; admit to themselves that we'll never be the same country, or try to take it by force again. We're here to stand our ground if the latter happens again.

Croatian War of Independence. You know who was the agressor. Why else would that war be waged within Croatian borders. If it was within Serbian borders, then Croatia would be agressor. Same with Russia attacking Ukraine, and no amount of conspiracy theories will ever completely hide the truth of what really happened.

Thank you! The best explanation so far...

In the case of an ethnically cleansed Serb who was born in Yugoslavia, on territory of Socialist Republic of Croatia in 1984, with the events that unfolded, became a refugee at 7 years old, no more Yugoslavia so no more Yugoslavian Citizenship or able to get newly formed Croatian citizenship, or Serbian citizenship for that matter. Remained a refugee from 1991 until moved to United States in 2000. Became a Permanent Resident of United States until 2015, when finally could afford to take the citizenship test and become a citizen of United States of America at age of 32. So for 25 years no citizen of any country, waited 32 years to be able to vote for the first time. Thats what happens.

Africa cannot unite due to its ethnic and religious differences, economic differences and corruption.

@Ehis lucky Of course they were, but Zulu empire was on the way to unification, and even if it was a fail, it would do much better than strangers coming and drawing borders with ruler.

@Ehis lucky kick out "civilized influence" and look what happens 😁

LoL. Not even the different 50 African nations are united. And you want to unite all of Africa. Keep dreaming

@NeverNotHoopin I am also from Croatia and don't agree with that. Back then we were free? I am sad to hear that. I can't call free country where majority of all high positions in every aspect of life is held by the people of another country (Serbia) and I can't call free country where is prohibited to even mention anything against that country or you'll end up on Goli otok. Only existence of Goli otok is pretty good agument to call Jugoslavia dictatorship. I agree with you that today we are in a sense getting robbed because of politicans we have , but it can't get bad like in Jugoslavia. I grew up in Osijek. On some buildings there are still visible holes from machinguns from people that wanted to 'free' us in 1991.

@Domagoj Pećar good points but Britain and France have to follow the US will so they had actually nothing to say. The point I don't agree with is that Serbs controlled everything in SFRJ. That's an old saying to try and justify decisions of republics that wanted the separation. I grew up in the capital of today's Croatia and the amount of resources Belgrade pumped into SR Croatia was insane. But it is what it is my man. Back then we were free, now we are occupied and are getting robbed of our resources. Our people that emigrated into western countries are just a cheap labor. "They'll be our slaves while we enjoy their sea"

@NeverNotHoopin good points made there but I was talking on something other. I didn't mean that west wanted control over SFRJ (which was very hard as you explained). I meant they wanted SFRJ as a whole and here are my arguments: 1. Serbia had control over almost everything in Jugoslavia and west powers, especially Britain and France had very good relationships with Serbia (because they were allies in WW1 and in WW2) so it naturaly ocured that Britain and France will be on Serbian side- if Serbia want to keep Jugoslavia, Britain and France also want to keep Jugoslavia 2. In sense of economy it is easier and cheaper to ship something through one big country than many smaller ones.

@Domagoj Pećar I do not agree with that. Several reasons. At that time SFRJ was only 500$ per resident in debt which means that nobody could control it. Strong military for that time, stabile economy which produced everything, from a needle to a tank, so no need for imports. No need and with that no allowance for foreign companies to do business inside the country. Now foreign banks an companies are milking the cow. There are some other reasons but alone if you think logically, It's easier to control 7 people separate then when they are all 7 at the same place.

Instead, only what existed at Kosovo region during Yugoslav federation were large birthrates among Albanian population, which resulted local Serbians suddently became minority, and became very anxious. When talking about Kosovo it is iportant to know Serbs consider the place as historical birth place of Serbian nation, this is another important reason they are anxious about fact they became minority. Furthermore, it is completely wrong idea the collapse of Yugoslavia started because Kosovo (and alleged Croatian and Slovene support of idea), it started exactly because of Serbian nationalism and expansionism led by Slobodan Milosevic, which tried to form Greater Serbia taking large parts of Croatian and Bosnian territory, commiting mass atrocities, ethnical cleansing of non Serbs, and all kind of war crimes. Video never mentioned fact, at beggining of 1990. Serbia led by Milosevic first spread huge fear among Croatian Serbs missusing history, also Yugoslav army dominated by Serbs gave local serbs abundance of heavy weapons, and local Croatian Serbs started rebelion against Croatia (very same Russia did at Donbas and Luhansk region in Ukraine). Also video never mentioned, Serbian tanks and thousands of soldiers crossed over Croatian border to invade Croatia, video never mentioned Vukovar, Croatian town at very border of Croatia and Serbia, that was invaded by Serbia after it was flattened with earth sa same as Mariuople in Ukraine. In Vukovar Serbian forces commited huge attrocities ranging from mass rape, mass murder, mutilation of people to arson and destroying historical buildings. Again you would understand subject much much better if you get known better with efforts of creation of Greater Serbia, which led not only to colalpse of second Yugoslavia but also to WW1 and creation of Kingdom of Yugoslavia and all Serbian issues with their neighbours since second half of 19th century till today.

@Rabiul Hasan what did you not understand

What you say im not understand.

Neki Lik ovo je toliko besmisleno Razbacano, prvo priča o hrvatskoj pa celo Kosovo, pa crna gora

Neki Lik are you from the balkans If you aren't, ofc you wouldn't notice the fact that it's clickbait

Neki Lik what?

I beg to differ. Chetniks did nothing wrong.

are HDZ any better? we as a folk fight inside our country! I wait that Dubrovnik becomes independent, because they always thought they're better than the rest of the country and because they are far different

@Richard Bas Really? If you say so it must be true...

@Richard Bas !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's that all you can think!?!?!? Poor you....

@Dez Nuces Croatia and Slovenia are thriving.

He shouldn't talk about Jugoslavia at all...

So many people who were mix married lived in Serbia during the conflict, I am one of them, my family is an entic mix...Izeta could live in Serbia if she wanted, many of my refugee muslim friends lived in Serbia until they went to Canada, Australia, USA, Western Europe, due to extremely difficult economic situation...

Tito was the only one that could hold it all together. His death proved that.

He was wrong 😭

@Драгољуб Михаиловић jel i kulin ban napravio bosansko lazno kraljevstvo? i ne kaze se kreiro nego krojio kako i potice iz bosanskog aj vozdra dragoljube...

@Sin Perunov Slovenija je čista. Srbija i CG su uvek bile zajedno u svemu, maltene kao da su jedna republika. Makedonija je uvek bila problematična pa me to ne čudi. Muslimani i BiH su tek na kraju bili priznati, dok smo u Hrvatskoj bili konstitutivni narod. Hrvatska je bila pola naša pola Hrvatska, a SR Hrvatska je bila mnogo manja nego NDH i Kraljeva Banovina Hrvatska. Tako da, nije bilo tako loše po nas.

@Sin Perunov Razlog za sve što je Tito radio, je bilo da uveća svoju apsolutnu vlast i bogatstvo. Bojao se od srpske većine koja bi mogla da ga zbaci sa vlasti i zato je efektivno bio anti srpski nastrojen. Pomogao Albancima da uđu na Kosovo, dao im veću autonomiju. Kreirao lažnu državu Bosnu oko muslimanske manjine i tako dalje.

There are also tiniest states in the world-so what?Obviusly we couldn't live together any more and broke up for instance like Czechia and Slovakia but sadly on a violent way.

Basketball maybe. And waterpolo and tennis. Football Croatia has covered.

No, thanks. Croatia is good this way.

I see what you did there.

LMAO.

Nice 😁

This is very faulty and shallow explanation of collapse of Yugoslavia.

@Драгољуб Михаиловић Molim te nemoj da lažeš narod. Politički zatvori nisu postojali, sloboda govora je bila prevelika i niko nije ubijan zbog svog mišljenja. To je bila ogromna greška, trebao je da bude suroviji. Tito je bio suviše dobar čovek.

It was a dictatorship under Tito. People forget he had labour camps for political prisoners in Goli Otok.
