'''Yugoslavia''' was a country in [[Southeast Europe]] during most of the 20th century. It came into existence after [[World War I]] in 1918 under the name of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes by the merger of the provisional State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs with the Kingdom of Serbia, and constituted the first union of the [[South Slavic]] people as a sovereign state, following centuries in which the region had been part of the [[Ottoman Empire]] and then [[Austria-Hungary]].

== History ==

Yugoslavia was formed in 1918 under the name Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. In 1929, it was officially renamed the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. The state was ruled by the Serbian dynasty of [[Karadjordjevic]], which previously ruled the Kingdom of Serbia under [[Peter I]] from 1903 onward.

During [[World War II]], Yugoslavia was invaded by the [[Axis powers]] in April 1941. The country was then divided, with parts annexed by Italy, Germany, Hungary, and Bulgaria. In 1943, a Democratic Federal Yugoslavia was proclaimed by the Partisan resistance. In 1944, the king recognized it as the legitimate government, but in November 1945 the monarchy was abolished.

Yugoslavia was renamed the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia in 1946, when a communist government was established. It acquired the territories of Istria, Rijeka, and Zadar from Italy. Partisan leader [[Josip Broz Tito]] ruled the country as president until his death in 1980.

== Breakup ==

After Tito's death in 1980, ethnic tensions grew in Yugoslavia. The presidency rotated among the six republics. In 1991 and 1992, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Macedonia all seceded. Serbia and Montenegro declared the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1992. Montenegro seceded in 2006 and Serbia became the legal successor of Yugoslavia.

== Legacy ==

Yugoslavia was a significant early example of multi-ethnic federalism in Europe, a feature that it shared with the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia and India. It was also the only socialist country in the Cold War era that was not part of the Warsaw Pact, instead founding the Non-Aligned Movement along with Egypt, India, and Indonesia.
