Yugoslavia

Yugoslavia was a country in Southeast Europe that existed from 1918 until the early 1990s. It was originally formed after World War I, uniting several ethnic groups and regions, including Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes. The nation was a socialist state after World War II, led by Josip Broz Tito, who managed to keep its diverse populations united. However, after Tito's death in 1980, ethnic tensions rose, leading to a series of conflicts and the eventual breakup into several independent countries: Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia.
