Did Czechoslovakia receive foreign aid like Yugoslavia did? Did Czechoslovakia have a century of ethnic tension between Slovak and Czechs like Serb and Croats did? Even if the country was called the Kingdom of Yugoslavia it was ruled by a Serbian King, so Croats didn't want to replace Austro-Hungarian rule with another one, they wanted independence. There were so many little things when combined on a big pile it spelled disaster for the future

Great video. It is very difficult to be objective when you live in time and space in which all this happened and it still is, but it seems that you touched all the important bits. One of the saddest things is that Tito always talked about preserving the brotherhood and unity of all ethnic groups and being prepared for the enemy that never sleeps as they fought nazis just few decades earlier, but then Yugoslavia broke apart inside out because of the incompetence, nationalism and mythomania.

Love your videos, I am from Ireland, when I was at school we only learned what the landmass was of European countries, a few mountain ranges and what their biggest export was. Your videos need to be taught at schools, they are very informative, I lived through many of these events but really did not understand what was happening. Thank you

One of the few channels that covered the break-up decently. Some channels omitted the pre-WWI history of the Balkans region. It is important to include this aspect of the formation of Yugoslavia to understand the deep underlying current of nationalism, ethnicity, religion, etc. There are aspects that your video hadn't dealt with was that certain parties in Yugoslavia had aligned themself with Nazi Germany and conflict exist between those factions and those that fought the Germans. There were even competing partisans factions. It has a complicated history of conflict within its various ethnicity. When I was in junior high school in mid-80s, one of my hobby then was to collect stamps. Yugoslavia is one of the few countries that I never did get any stamps of.

This was a massive hole in my knowledge-set that I didn’t even know existed. Thank you History Scope.

Born and lived in the YU long enough to approve video it is quite accurate although He did some fundamental mistakes like rising the payment 12:35 not accurate at all as the bankruptcy of the firm's he mismatched yugoslavia and post yugoslavia time in fact the salary was fixed on the rate 1:4 as max difference in every company between max payment and the lowest payment ( worker-manager) Diffewrence was too low and management could not pay a good worker enough versus bad worker not to forgot it wasnt easy to fire a bad worker because of socialist mentality you were forced to deal with some really lazy worker remember my dad (manager in one company) complained about that. The rising of prices was because of inflation ( up to 100% per year) which was driven from other reasons and was actually beneficial to the ordinary worker because thanks to the bank loans for ordinary workers they could build their own houses, buy a car.... but because of inflation they payed back to the bank only a fraction of the real price namely the loans had only fix interests aprox 10% per year. 14:30 USSR never send any money to Yugoslavia in fact USSR owed Yugoslavia +1 bilon $ in 1990 for goods imported from yugoslavia Fast forward Yugoslavia didn't fell apart because of socialism or even multitnical tensions (they were present of course but not as main reason) but because of greed and ill ambitions by some individuals which wanted to be another Josip Broz Tito.

When the economy was good, and leadership was strong, people tend to set aside their differences in order to enjoy the benefit of stability and wealth.

@@S_-- Montenegrin is a geographical term for Serbs in montenegro originally. Due to Montenegro’s status and independence due to the kingdom, principality before separate to Serbia it’s also a nationality today technically. However they aren’t different. Montenegrins are Serbs and always have been… I’m saying this as a Montenegrin. All our ancestors identified themselves as Serbs as well, kings, queens, nobles, warriors, priests, everyone. Most of Montenegro would be alrigjt with it since it’s a unified Serb state and they are same people. As long as they have some form of autonomy which is purely because of economy and avoiding centralization. However at the moment people would not be interested in that kind of change due to the already ongoing changes, and switching from independence to union federation so quick would be really messy as you’d have to make even more changes and dismantling.

Very good explanation of breakup. I have just missed other influenced things - oil crise in 70-ies, debt crisis in 80-ies (not just in Yugoslaviy, but also in south America). And one interesting data - Slovenia today has more debt as whole Yugoslavia in 80-ies. IMF wasn`t and isn`t agency for help, but it is political agency to gain USA`s claimes around the world. In that way will be more adequate and interesting video.

Thank you for a clear explanation of what happened back then. I couldn't understand it then and struggled to get any clear information afterwards. Complexities, indeed but not impossible to understand as you've just proved.

Being so well respected, one of the founder country of the Non-Aligned Movement (consisting mainly of ex colonies which parts of ex YU could also be considered) in a bipolar world, balancing perfectly between two forces. I don't think that kind of country will ever exist in Europe again. When Tito died, so many countries sent their presidents, PMs and other representatives making it one of the biggest funerals in history. Now divided, no country by itself will ever be even close to that status. Nobody cares anymore, I feel like we are colonized again (but by different methods).

Yes, economy was one of the main reasons...20 yeras before break up, in 1971 was so called Croatian spring...when Croatian communist party was looking for more independence against central goverment in Belgrade...than Tito stops it...around 70 000 Croats who was involved , most of them intelectuals was fired from jobs, some of them go to prison...one of most known parol of demonstration was "Croatian wallet in Croatian pocket", and "Croatia rifle on Croatian shoulder"...That was a little bit too much for Tito and communist party of Yugoslavia, so they stopped it...the next 20 years is known as "Croatian silence" because everybody was afraid to talk about that issues. It is interesting that communist party of Serbia was not against that Croatian leadership in 1971

Thanks for the lecture😅

great education. being from the USA it is hard for me to recognize your cartoon maps and what they are depicting. it would be very helpful if you named the countries or regions on your pictures verses coloring them with the flags. a lot of times I don't understand where you are talking about because I don't necessarily recognize the outline of your cartoon maps. but GREAT coverage of the topic.

The only major aspect not covered in the video is the influence of various external centers of power who treated Yugoslavia as a playground for pursuing their own interests and saw the future of former Yugoslavia in different, often conflicting, ways.

As early as 1970s or 80s, a W Euro (W Germany?) MP revealed NATO s 1st Yugoslavia breakup plan, while others followed. There is a more recent video ( sorry?, forgot title. but perhaps on youtube claimed to show that at least 1 of ex Yugoslavia wars was cynical joint!!! covert action by Slobodam Milosevic, F. Tudjman, and ??--leaders of those 3 new countries staged that war for some benefits, Video even shows the 3 leaders at a party-- during the war!!

Thank you for making this video! Its good giving more insight of the break-up of Yugoslavia more knowledgeable and in-depth how it happened and why. Thank you 😊

Excellent explained of Separation( Dividing) of Yugoslavia by excellent historical channel thanks for sharing

This was extremely helpful! Until now, I never really understood the wars occurring in the 1990s. This makes it much clearer.

When it’s History Scope then it’s an insta-click.

Well explained, considering the complexity of the Western Balkans. Although you missed explaining real agendas behind many actions, because this conflict originates way before any Yugoslavia was ever created.

What can i read to get those insights?

My godfather is from Serbia and he explained what it was like to work during the period of hyperinflation in the early 90s. Prices changed so fast that he started out getting paid every 2 weeks, then once a week, and eventually he got paid after every single workday because inflation rates reached 313,563,558 percent. I never thought about that aspect of hyperinflation before he mentioned it.

Excellent overview!

Excellent explanation!! Thank you for explaining this complicated issue at a slow pace so I can actually understand what is being said

it's been a while Comrade but boy oh boy am I glad to see this video.

Great video!!!

Very informative video. Thanks

Some things were missed in the explanation like:IMF gave the loan under a condition that economy has to be transformed and the companies have to make profit without the support of the state , otherwise company has to declare bankruptcy. The major issue and problem with that condition was very short time for that transformation, one year. Most companies went bankrupt and more than 50% of working population become unemployed without hope that situation would improve. In such situation of social despair ethnic tension started to rise.

Easily the most underrated channel on KZread. These videos are so good at explaining history and you deserve more than 135K subs.

This is one of the best videos on the topic of breakup of Yugoslavia. Short and very clear. As a Croat, I can say it is very difficult to explain to a foreigner what actualy happened and not lose their interest half way down the timelane which has to cover atleast all what happened in the region in thru the 20th century, not to mention that also the historical conditions since the middle ages also had to do with how it all ended in the 1990s. Very good job!

It is a tribunal founded and financed by USA with sole purpose to justify their illegal attack on Yugoslavia without the mandate of UNSC. Its absolutely biased to the point of being comical. It freed all prominent US puppets, even those who actually murdered civilians with their own hands, such as Albanian criminal Haradinai (who also killed 19 witnesses in his Hague trial case), muslim Oric who cut out babies from pregnant women and was video recorded in burnt Serbian villages where they played football with cut off civilian heads, and Croatian general Gotovina who was recorded in Brioni tapes planning largest ethnic cleansing of Serbs in post ww2 Europe with their president Tudjman. On the other hand, all the Serbs got life sentences even if they did no crime, didnt ordered any crime, or even knew about crime, just for being prominent Serb leaders. This tribunal was chance to put an end to this war if it sentenced all war criminals on all sides. Instead it just deepened hatred and bitterness and fuels the seed of another war.

@@KaSousek58 I read all the court cases on NGO site Fund for humanitarian rights. Entire transcripts, not just indictions and sentences. Its precisely what happened. There is no concrete crime there for Serbian leaders, all the fake incidents like Racak, Mrkale and the others were removed from indictions after witnesses and documents started refuting it and making it very embarassing for USA. Those people were never linked to any crime. Not by doing, not by ordering, nor planning. Only by presumed (by USA) participation in presumed joint criminal venture, which is complete rubbish, putting people who were mortal political enemies, hated each others etc all together in this venture, and without any proof such venture ever existed. While such venture on Croatian side which was tape recorded and whole public saw transcripts in Croatia and world wide was ignored. You can take example of Kosovo. Each and every serbian soldier was issued the written geneva convention rules, and briefed by officers, and strict orders were given at all times to not harm any civilian. And its a common sense, because we all knew USA is waiting for any wrong move to justify bombing our country, and we were aware how they use fake propaganda on example of Bosnia and Croatia. Not a single civilian was deliberately harmed in Kosovo by our forces, excluding very few cases of notorious terrorists who locked in their fort-houses and wouldnt let women and children out when called to do so. In such cases, for example Jasari, police besieged house for several days, negotiating and trying to save civilians, but was shot at constantly, and in finally eliminating these terrorists there was several civilians killed too. In all the actions Serbian forces in Kosovo acted with much more prudence, care and tact certainly then US forces do around the world. When USA couldnt find any crime by Serbian forces, frustrated for not having excuse to bomb, they staged Racak, C.Walker and his helpers collecting 40-something terrorists killed in combat from trenches and bunkers and lining them up in one place to seem like execution, proclaiming its civilians, even though they were all UCK. This was trumpeted by whole orchestra of western media who are part of NATO war machine, and used as excuse to bomb. Along they used alleged exodus of Albanians, that was actually organized, even enforced by UCK. Again common sense, exodus never happened from areas controlled by Serbian forces, only those held by UCK. Albanians were very afraid of UCK who killed more albanians then Serbs did, and they even today dont dare talk because criminals and drug dealers and murderers who were in UCK are now politicians, president, prime minister etc. Later on, Finnish pathologist Helena Ranta withdrew that report on Racak, saying it was US envoy Christopher walker who forced her to write it, and this fake report was dropped from Milosevic indiction. Everyone in the Balkans knows its fake, there was several days of fighting for Racak, it was a nest of UCK, and no civilian was killed there or anywhere. Also everyone in Balkans on both sides knows people like Taci, Haradinaj, Ceku etc. who were well known pre war criminals, personally killed in gruesome way many dozen of people, and were behind the organ extracting from kidnapped serbian civilians, which was confirmed both in book of Karla del Ponte and investigation by EU prosecutors Dick Marty and Jonathan Ratel. The whole story about Kosovo is dark page of US cynism, corruption and pure evilness in starting conflict, completely twisting reality through media, comitting war crime of aggression, and softly colonizing a country, working with terrorists and criminals as they often do, covering crimes its own and of its puppets, and laughing at victims through the fake and corrupt war crimes tribunal. You guys have literally no idea about the scale of deception and dark truth behind all this. Its similar in Croatia where whole Serbian population was killed or expelled, Bosnia, where only in Sarajevo alone more Serbs were killed then in all alleged Serbian crimes put together around ex Yugoslavia, or Kosovo where also whole Serbian population was ethnically cleansed, more then 100 monasteries and churches were destroyed etc. No one was convicted for any of those crimes, for simple reason they are US puppets and its US court. There is nothing more to it.

@@cibetka76 can you provide a link to this NGO. I cant find anything about it on internet and it seems your main source is information by NGO site, not actual court cases. Also, you do realize that there are people who admitted their crimes like for example Martić. Your statements do not correspond to any publicly available data so you will have to provide a link for your statements. Idea that more Serbs were killed in Sarajevo than all other people in all other locations combined is especially dubious. So yeah, sry but your statements shows you have not actually read court cases but rather base your opinion on NGO site that can't be found on google. If your source is Fond za humanitarno pravo, then your statements are even more odd considering that NGO constantly talks about serbian war crimes and I have never seen any of their publications that would confirm your statements

Great video! TY

Nice presentation and pretty accurate too. Could have spent a bit more time explaining the WW2 situation (3 separate movements, one of which was radically pro Nazi), which would have given a bit more historical context but overall really well done. I of Croatian ethnicity, visited Jugoslavija in late 1988. Whilst in Serbia very much all good, business as usual but when in Croatia it was easy to see there was a bit of feeling and trouble brewing. I never imagined it would go the way it did and that it would happen so quickly. Well, Jugoslavija might seem to have been a good idea at the time it was formed but I guess it was always an artificial country doomed to eventual failure.

It provided a lot of fascinating detail - but not so much that it could only be understood by history professors. The graphics were excellent, the script well written, and the narrator was excellent (and as the cherry top was his Eastern European accent!). As a history buff who grew up in Canada it seemed your treatment of all the various and sundry multi-dimensional ethnic groups attempted to be fair and balanced... although I’m sure there are many on all sides who might dispute that description.
