PRESENTATION OUTLINE
After World War II, the Balkan states of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia and Macedonia became part of the Federal People’s Republic of Yugoslavia. Josip Broz Tito, the leader of Yugoslavia, kept strict control over the many ethnic, religious, and nationalist groups in Yugoslavia. After the death of Josip Broz Tito in 1980, nationalism among the different Yugoslav republics threatened to split their union apart.
Serbs, Croats, and Bosniaks were put against each other because of the national rhetoric the politicians were using. Then in 1991, Slovenia, Croatia and Macedonia (a republic in the Balkans) declared their independence from Yugoslavia.
Serb forces killed over 100,000 Bosniaks and Croatians in The genocide in Bosnia. The Serb forces also drove out 2.2 million Bosniaks and Croatians from their homes.
Change That Was Brought To That Region
Yugoslavia was broken into six new nations. These nations are Slovenia, Macedonia, Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Kosovo.
