This is a bit of a request, please delete if inappropriate. I don't come often on Veeky Forums... what I'm looking for is one or more decent documentaries on what happened in Jugoslavia in the 90s.
I was too young to remember the details and would like to fill the gap.
I can understand: >English (good) >French (good) >Italian (okay) >Spanish (okay) >Portuguese (kinda)
So I would appreciate if it wasn't the usual "history channel" thing or "discovery channel" documentary that is all about action and sensationalism.
I'd rather have something well-researched than something entertaining.
Ideally, I would watch more than one.
Anyway, to keep the thread open, we can discuss Jugoslavia, the war, etc.
While I wait for responses, I'll do my own research and post links when I find them.
You need a fucking documentary to understand what happens when the eternal Serb does his thing? Fine, I guess.

I thought I could get decent discussion outside of /pol/.
Okay man... but I am curious about the unfolding. Who did what. How things collapsed. How the international community reacted. How the strategy of the different armies unfolded... I don't feel I am asking for the Moon... but neither it's a 5 minutes thing.
I read some diaries of people who got caught up in sieges. But frankly I am missing the big picture and the military/political one in particular.
Please forgive my ignorance.

Confirming. It all fell apart and shit went down. Like.. way down. Hellhole style.
This has some nice footage of Kosovo, if you're into that. Heavier on human interest than history, though. Also we typically spell it with a 'Y' in English, if you care.
There aren't too many docs on this topic so just search youtube and watch the bbc one. Now 99% of them portrays serbs as war mongering lunatics witch may not be entirely true. I realise serbs fought almost exclusevly in serb populated areas which doesn't look like something over nationalistic and sheiit.

There are couple of writings left behind by Tito in his villa in Kumrovec, Zagorje that kind of imply that he knows that when he dies, death of Yugoslavia will follow. In his other writings, I got the feeling that by the end of his life, he understood socialism and drive for communistic society was a failure.
In the end though, now Yugo states are back where we historically always were- buffer states which any great power- American, Russian can fuck with as they please.
This one is quite good, I watch it at least once a year.

Yup me too. It helps that they always show it on TV. On a related note am I the only one who thought Bučar was the wisest, most competent and witty of all of our independence politicians? I genuinely went into mourning when he passed away recently ;_; He wasn't only a very good public speaker but also one of the main writers of our constitution.

What hapened was mostly, he forced breeding programs and made abortion illegal. That increased the amount of unwanted kids. The unwanted kids had no jobs, were hated at home, and werent as smart due to crowded schools among everything else. They then went and killed him. The end.

>now Yugo states are back where we historically always were- buffer states which any great power- American, Russian can fuck with as they please. So why didn't they put aside the butthurt and the nationalism and just work together? Keeping together as a unified Yugoslavia would have given them much more power in the region, but now they're just irrelevant meme countries. The US wouldn't have become anywhere near as powerful if they had split into 50 different countries.
