The breakup of Czechoslovakia:
Slovaks: "Hey bros, we think it would be just better to part our ways now."
Czechs: "Ye, sure buddy. Good luck!"
End.

I'm glad that someone recognizes that Yugoslavia had the strongest resistance movement in WW2 and managed to liberate itself.

Great video. It is very difficult to be objective when you live in time and space in which all this happened and it still is, but it seems that you touched all the important bits.
One of the saddest things is that Tito always talked about preserving the brotherhood and unity of all ethnic groups and being prepared for the enemy that never sleeps as they fought nazis just few decades earlier, but then Yugoslavia broke apart inside out because of the incompetence, nationalism and mythomania.

There was a girl in my school from Yugoslavia. She was very quiet and focused on her school work. She always got the best grades. ❤

When you hear the words "The country turned to the IMF" you KNOW shit is going to go down.

When the economy was good, and leadership was strong, people tend to set aside their differences in order to enjoy the benefit of stability and wealth.

My grandma came from Yugoslavia and told me a ton of stories of her journey before passing. Thanks for the vid.

That was brilliant thanks. I have tried several times to get a rough overview of the situation but struggled. I'm sure there are are many who will say much missed as you can only cover so much in a 40 min or so video and it felt like a good job of providing an overview without getting bogged down into he said she said details. I really felt like I got a rough idea of what was happened. Thanks again.

One of the few channels that covered the break-up decently. Some channels omitted the pre-WWI history of the Balkans region. It is important to include this aspect of the formation of Yugoslavia to understand the deep underlying current of nationalism, ethnicity, religion, etc. There are aspects that your video hadn't dealt with was that certain parties in Yugoslavia had aligned themself with Nazi Germany and conflict exist between those factions and those that fought the Germans. There were even competing partisans factions. It has a complicated history of conflict within its various ethnicity. When I was in junior high school in mid-80s, one of my hobby then was to collect stamps. Yugoslavia is one of the few countries that I never did get any stamps of.

Excellent job. 👏👏
This is a very complicated war and I had never managed to find out detailed information that i could easily comprehend.
This video is what I needed because of the details about the country from its creation until the breakup, the details about the way it functioned and on why it stop functioning later on, the speed on the narrator's tone, the music, the comical pictures where needed and much more.
Keep up the good work.

“They gave their flag a 1 star review”
best sentence describing their flag

Sadly, as an American, I wasn’t even aware that Yugoslavia had broken up until about 25 years later!!! I’m telling you, schools and the media in the US all too often fail to acknowledge that there is a whole world out there beyond our borders. Now, here I sit at 40 years old, watching YouTube so I can learn all the things that I should have been taught in school and/or seen on the news.

Love your videos, I am from Ireland, when I was at school we only learned what the landmass was of European countries, a few mountain ranges and what their biggest export was. Your videos need to be taught at schools, they are very informative, I lived through many of these events but really did not understand what was happening. Thank you

[njkauto]

Thank you for a clear explanation of what happened back then.
I couldn't understand it then and struggled to get any clear information afterwards. Complexities, indeed but not impossible to understand as you've just proved.

[foundationsmedicalinformat]

This was a massive hole in my knowledge-set that I didn’t even know existed. Thank you History Scope.

The beginning of the video reminded me of a joke of sorts that we used to tell in Yugoslavia. We used to joke that "Jugoslavia je okružena BRIGAMA" ("Yugoslavia is surrounded by troubles"). The acronym "BRIGAMA" (by troubles) is formed from the first letters of the names of countries that did then surround Yugoslavia -- Bulgaria, Romania, Italy, Greece, Austria, Mađarska (Hungary), and Albania.

Very informative. Thanks for all your work.
