Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia

The Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia was a socialist country formed after World War II in 1946, uniting several Balkan republics—Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Slovenia—under a federal government. Led by Josip Broz Tito, it aimed to create a unified, non-aligned socialist state, promoting equality among ethnic groups and resisting Western influence. The country existed until 1963 when it was renamed the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Its structure allowed diverse nations and cultures to coexist, though ethnic tensions and political changes eventually led to its dissolution in the early 1990s.
