yugoslavia

After WWI the British and French created the borders of Northern Ireland, Yugoslavia and the Middle East.

Austria had a border with Yugoslavia - with the part that today is known as Slowenia.

No part of former Yugoslavia was ever close to bordering Russia.

The outbreak of full conflict between the recently declared independent states of Croatia and Bosnia with Yugoslavia happend shortly after and was not over in 1993/94 [2].

Nazi and Soviet flags are obvious, as is the case for Yugoslavia which existed then and is no more, but the flags of Greece and Burma are contemporary as well.

If there's any lesson to be learned from genocides like the Rwanda massacres, civil wars like the breakup of Yugoslavia or the Nazi era, it is that a large proportion of humanity will readily become mass murderers for almost no reason at all.

This is such bullshit - Yugoslavia blew up partially because IMF external pressure (which grew stronger as a result of the country's lost strategic significance after the Wall fell) and a blowup in the current account deficit strained the existing transfer union arrangements and made proper austerity very hard to politically carry out from the center.

Yugoslavia's adherence provoked a coup d'état in Belgrade, and Italy and Germany responded by invading Yugoslavia" Note that some countries first signed and only then the Nazi regimes came to power in them.

"Socialist" countries (Hungary, Poland, Yugoslavia) allowed limited private ownership of land and businesses (private businesses could not employ more than 50 people).

Ignoring European "Thar" - With the exception of the Former Yugoslavia (Muslims - interesting), the author basically ignores the many examples of this in European societies, from Italian, Greek, Spanish, Russian.

The ccTLDs.cs (Czechoslovakia),.dd (East Germany),.yu (Yugoslavia), and.zr (Zaire) were all dissolved some time after the reorganization/renaming of their countries.

There were the Yugoslav/Balkan wars, but they were exclusively on the territory of former Yugoslavia.

The US fought Iraq twice, and Yugoslavia/Serbia, both of which had significant air forces.
