The History of Yugoslavia, Part 1: Origins and Growth

Hey Madlads! Today, I am looking at the beginning of the history of Yugoslavia, from World War One to the end of Tito's control of the country. Due to how much information I have to share, I have decided to make this History of Yugoslavia a two-part series. In next week's video, I will look at the fall of Yugoslavia, the civil war that came after, and where the former Yugoslav states are today.

Thank you all for watching! Be sure to like, subscribe, and share this video with all of your friends. I will be starting a patreon soon, so be sure to look out for that in the coming weeks. We are within 100 subscribers of reaching the huge milestone of 1,000, so every way you all can help share my content is greatly appreciated.

I can't seem to stay away from the Balkans in my videos! It surely is one of the places of the world with the greatest history!

Just a few corrections. The STATE of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs had the basically the same flag as the Netherlands or the Yugoslav flag upside down, and it was later called the Kingdom of SERBS (first), Croats and Slovenes.

I like learning the history of different places and the balkans are fascinating.

Your narrative is good but it would help if you used text to show the names of the geographic areas and the time span you are addressing as you progress. Still enjoyed it, thanks.

Serbia had two anti-fascist movements in WW 2 - the Royalist Chetniks, who wanted to restore the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, and Tito's Communist Partisans, who had won the civil war. The leader of the Chetniks, Draza Mihailovic, was awarded with highest medals by the US (the Legion of Merit) and France (War Cross). During the war, he was wanted by the Nazis and the reward was the same as for Tito - a hundred thousand Reichs Marks. Overall, this video is very simplified. The creation and destruction of Yugoslavia were far more complex, and many factors were at play in both its creation and its destruction. But, thank you for the effort.

Gavrilo Princip, the Serb nationalist was a bad guy, but he was the little bad guy. The small snake 🐍, controlled by a bigger 🐍. He and his puppeteer both worked against the interests of Slaves in general. He was a nasty tool who knew what he was doing, but the real thing was behind the scenes, I believe. He light a match in a gunpowder room on purpose, which leads to WW1 and his own demise aswell.

Please give me dates😭😭😭 history is really hard to understand when things just happen in a vacuum and don't exist in a timeline

[suzanapetrovic]

As per my knowledge, bulgarians are not slavs by ethnicity, but just by language, so tito did unite all south slavs into one country. I might be wrong.

[ZarexianMapper]

It‘s about time I would say. Can’t wait to see the breakup

[vlaerenko]

How did Yugoslavia became so multicultural? Where did all the muslims come from for instance?

And i don't get why Croats, Serbs, Bosniaks fought Esch other, is there so much cultural difference? Don't they speak the same language almost?
