'''Yugoslavia''' ('''Jugoslavia''' in the Latin alphabet, '''Југославија''' in Cyrillic; English: the land of [[South Slavs]]) describes a new artificial state that was first established in 1919 on the [[Balkan Peninsula]] in [[Europe]], and remained intact for 72 years. The six countries that were once part of Jugoslavia are [[Bosnia-Herzegovina]], [[Croatia]], [[Macedonia]], [[Montenegro]], [[Serbia]], and [[Slovenia]].

==Foundation==
Jugoslavia was effectively a '''Greater Serbia''' under the [[Serbia]]n monarchy (who quickly dethroned the [[Montenegro]] Royal Family), and was first formed as the '''Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes''' in 1919, following [[The Great War]] when the plutocratic [[Entente Powers|Western Allies]] dismembered the [[Austro-Hungarian Empire]]. Apart from the Serbs, the constituent peoples had no say in the matter. (Unlike [[Bohemia]], [[Poland]], etc., there was no offer of self-determination here.) It was re-named as the '''Kingdom of Jugoslavia''' on 6 January 1929 by the soon to be assassinated Serbian King [[Alexander I of Yugoslavia]].

==World War II==
Following a Serbian Palace coup against the Regent, Prince Paul, Jugoslavia was invaded on 6 April 1941 by the [[Axis powers]] and capitulated eleven days later. The 'Royal' Family fled into exile.
During this period Germany awarded [[Croatia]] independence from Jugoslavia, to great jubilation.

==Communism==

Following [[World War Two]] the communist terrorist and dictator [[Tito]], patronised by the Allies, established the '''Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia''' (declared by him on 29 November 1943; broken up on 25 June 1991), a [[communist]] successor state to the Kingdom of Jugoslavia. During the war Tito's communists had fought the Royal Jugoslavian Army as well as the Germans and Croats, taking no prisoners. At the end of the war they exterminated vast numbers of Croats and other "traitors" in mass executions and burials. Tito's new state existed under various names, including the "Democratic Federation of Yugoslavia (DFY)" (1943), the "Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia (FPRY)" (1946), and the "[[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia]] (SFRY)" (1963).

==Collapse==
Starting in 1991, the SFRY disintegrated as the [[Yugoslav Wars]] of liberation commenced: the formerly oppressed and suppressed peoples of the various states the Serbs had incorporated into their 'Greater Serbia', without their consent, now fought for their freedom. Secession followed for most of the republic's constituent elements.

==Serbia and Montenegro hold out==
Refusing to give up, the Serbs established a '''Federal Republic of Yugoslavia''' (FRY) (April 27, 1992 – February 4, 2003), a quasi-federation on the territory of the two remaining republics of Serbia (including the autonomous provinces of [[Vojvodina]] and [[Kosovo]] and [[Metohija]]) and Montenegro. The monarchy, however, was not restored.

Finally, the Union of [[Serbia and Montenegro]] was formed on February 4, 2003, and the name "Yugoslavia" formally abolished. This too did not last long and on June 3 and 5, 2006, Montenegro and Serbia respectively declared their independence from this Union, thereby ending the last remnants of the former bogus Yugoslav federation.
