Yugoslavia (Croatian, Serbian, Slovene: Jugoslavija; Macedonian, Serbian Cyrillic: Југославија) is a term that describes three political entities that existed successively on the western part of Balkan Peninsula in Europe, during most of the 20th century. The first country to be known by this name was the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, which before 3 October 1929 was known as the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. It was established on 1 December 1918 by the union of the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs and the Kingdom of Serbia (to which the Kingdom of Montenegro was annexed on 13 November 1918, and the Conference of Ambassadors in Paris gave international recognition to the union on 13 July 1922). The Kingdom of Yugoslavia was invaded by the Axis powers in 1941, and because of the events that followed, was officially abolished in 1943 and 1945. The second country with this name was the Democratic Federal Yugoslavia, proclaimed in 1943 by the Yugoslav Partisans resistance movement in World War II. It was renamed to the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia in 1946, when a communist government was established. In 1963, it was renamed again to the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY). This was the largest Yugoslav state, as Istria and Rijeka were added to the new Yugoslavia after the end of World War II. The constituent six Socialist Republics and two Socialist Autonomous Provinces that made up the country, were: SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, SR Croatia, SR Macedonia, SR Montenegro, SR Slovenia and SR Serbia (including the autonomous provinces of SAP Vojvodina and SAP Kosovo who after 1974 were largely equal to the other members of the federation.) Starting in 1991, the SFRY disintegrated in the Yugoslav Wars which followed the secession of most of the country's constituent entities. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License Would Yugoslavia be a leading nation in europe if it never fell apart? Q. Yugoslavia was the strongest country on the balkans. Even the USSR feared it. Not because it had a bigger army, but a stronger will than the others. Also the last war was a shame because Yugoslavia was heading to a free market economy and democracy.

At its creation, the "Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovene" had a diverse population with distinct national identities. I'm pretty sure that Alexander I (the first monarch) died a violent death at the hands of or because of separatists. During WWII numerous atrocities were committed by all sides - nationalists, communists and, fascists - in an attempt to gain power. It was only the strength of Tito that kept Yugoslavia together in face of Soviet imperialism and sectional conflict over growth, governmental power, economics, and a hundred other things. Tito was able to successfully play the different groups off against each other, preventing open schisms and any separatist… [cont.] Answered by gentleroger - Wed Jan 9 19:07:16 2008 How many hours does it take to travel from Yugoslavia to Georgia?

It is somewhat similar, however in Iraq, it seems to be largely based on religion, with ethnic origin being secondary, while in Yugoslavia, the reasons were a reversal of the Iraq reasoning.
