Why, when Yugoslavia dissolved, did everyone chimp out and start genociding each other? What caused different ethnic groups who used to be brothers to start killing each other?

Because murderous goat-herders 4 life.

They were never really brothers in the first place.

(((they))) caused it as revenge for us siding with Hitler and taking part in the Holocaust, not that it actually happened.

>used to be brothers
>being citizens of the same polity means you can't hate the ever loving shit out of one another

But why did they hate each other? When did the hate originate?

They neglected to remove kebab years before.

When the Bosnians converted to Islam centuries before Yugoslavia even existed. Not like that's a particularly revolutionary or unique reason though. Ethnic groups in the same country have hated each other over less.

After Slovenia secured their independance relatively peacefully, Croatia harboured a significant amount of Serbs living in it's regional borders that would've been included with them in independence. After Croatia secured it's independence and expelled the Serb population in a bloody war, Bosnia followed. The issue this time was that Bosnia was represented by an overall muslim majority of around 50% from remnants of the Ottoman Empire, the historic contempt and the other half of the population being primarily Serbs and Croats dragged out by an unexpected entity stirred even more hate. The Serbs, being the second largest ethnicity in the region, this time pursued more violently a united yugoslavia. FYROM left without anyone caring because they had nothing of value to offer, Kosovo was the dramatic end in which a historically important province of Serbia, now ridden with poverty was to be annexed by a rapidly increased Albanian demographic due to loose borders of the Tito regime and high birth rates despite rampant poverty, all these factors left in their wake, boiling hatred. The support and bombings by NATO didn't ease the relations either. Finally, montenegro was the last country to gain independence in a narrowly decisive referendum of just above 50% majority which aimed to distance themselves from the socio-economically issue ridden Serbia.

Meant for

Serbs wanted to annex parts of Croatia and Bosnia populated by Serbs, and also wanted to get rid of all non-Serbs in those areas.

>When did the hate originate?
With 19th century Serbian nationalists like Vuk Karadžić claiming that all South Slavs but Bulgarians are just Serbs. This Greater-Serbia ideology became popular among Serbs and started creating tensions before first Yugoslavia was even formed. Also, pro-Habsburg Croats resented anti-Habsburg Serbs. Also, Hedervary, a Hungarian who was viceroy of Croatia within Austria-Hungary liked to play the two against each other.

You're overplaying the greater serbia meme that became properly established in the yugo wars. Serbia was on the winning side of both world wars with the right to annex all the south slavs under their own leadership. The country was called "yugoslavia" and was not an ethnostate called "greater serbia".

Being this retarded.

Vuk never said Bulgarians are Serbs, and was not a nationalist since he preferrred a unified Slav state. All he said was that shtokavians are Serbs ( which is wrong at that point in time).

Also, hate originated after WW1 when Croats wanted more authonomy while Serbs wanted a strong centralized state. Both having valid historical reasons for their wishes.

The sad part is that the Serbo-Croat conflict would have been resolved peavfully over time if that stupid coup didnt happen in 1941 as Serbs finally gave Croats a somewhat authonomous banovina Croatia., which is a bit biger version of modern Croatia. But nooo, stupid putchists chanted "beter war than pact" and then the ustaše had to fucking chimp out setting the hate wel off 50 years into the future.

>Serbia was on the winning side of both world wars with the right to annex all the south slavs under their own leadership
Nonsense.

>Vuk never said Bulgarians are Serbs
And I never said that he did.

Is it true that Croats hated Italians before and during WW1? Why did they became their close regional allies in WW2?

Goering kept all the slavshits in line

>became their close regional allies in WW2?
It was a practical partnership, but they still disliked each other. A sizable number of Croats ended up in Italian concentration camps and Italians were forcefully attempting to Italianise Croatian population in Italian-held territories in Istria and Dalmatia. Ustashe didn't have much of a choice, they mostly did what Nazis wanted them to, including handing over the Dalmatian coast to Italians. Ustashe did receive training, shelter and support from Italy before WWII started, but the Italians just wanted to use them to gain influence in the Balkans.

That's the question isn't it?

No one's got a concise answer.

>What caused different ethnic groups who used to be brothers to start killing each other?
>different ethnic groups who used to be brothers
>used to be brothers

>Nonsense.
>being in denial because you don't like serbs
Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia were handed on a silver platter to Serbia after WWI for them to unite and ruled by the Serbian monarchy.

Another question, what was Tito ethnically? How did he unite the Balkans? How did he keep the peace?

>Another question, what was Tito ethnically?
A Croat

>How did he unite the Balkans? How did he keep the peace
United it trough common enemy, communism, and a strong hand in dealing with things

>Victors in wars getting the right of might to rule a gained territorry is nonsense

Nigga, you high or something?

From what everyone is saying it sounds like the Serbs were rather ambitious, did they cause problems for him?

>did they cause problems for him?
Nope, he dealt with Serbs in 1945 and pretty much settled their faith for good. He created Macedonia, Kosovo, Vojvodina even, and the top dogs in Tito's Yugoslavia were either Croats or Slovenians. One Serb that was influentual was removed from power in the 50s trough the staged affera. Rankovic is the name I think. It was after he died that they started chimping out

Funnily enough it was the Croats who caused him the most problems. With terrorism from their ex-Ustase diaspora mostly, they even invaded it once in the 70s trough Austria.

WWI Serbia had its government in London and army in Greece. It was hardly a major winner that got to demand anything. The London Pact had it get Slavonia, but not Central Croatia. Dalmatia was promised to Italians. And there was no Serbia in WWII, there was only Kingdom of Yugoslavia which was erased from existence by the end of WWII. The Partisans were a multi-ethnic movement lead by a Croat.

He was a Croato-Slovenian mutt who later married a Serb woman. He was charismatic, wasnt nationalistic and was highly pragmatic and machiavelian. He was feared for his killings of the opposition up to 1950s, was loved for various reasons and had a personality cult. He was tough on any nationalistic behaviour but that only kept all of it underground.

Honestly, there could have been only one man to matich his imporance, Ante Marković, if only he had support and power. The rest of the clowns from 1980 up to today are just aparatchiks ( except maybe even Zoran Đinđić, but his importance could never have been at the level of Marković). Dont know about other politicians in Croatia and Bosnia though, but apart from Stipe Mesić ( who had somewhat independent thoughts sometimes ), all of them seem to me like morons from commie times.

Hello Hrvoje.

Having a nice time in La La land I see.

Serb royal army was a major part in the breakthrough of Thesalonikki front and knocked Bulgaria out of the war. Not to mention the valued victories in 1914 and 1915. "No rights to demands", riiight.

>later married a Serb woman
He had 3 or 4 wives total, first one was Russian. Jovanka was last and lasted the longest, though.
