Yugoslavia was a country in Central Europe and the Balkans that existed from 1918 to 1992. It came into existence following World War I, under the name of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, from the merger of the Kingdom of Serbia with the provisional State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs, and constituted the first union of South Slavic peoples as a sovereign state, following centuries of foreign rule over the region under the Ottoman Empire and the Habsburg monarchy.

Notable quotes

“Yugoslavia in 1991 had more than enough resources to feed all its inhabitants, and still disintegrated into a terrible bloodbath.”
— Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind (2011), Chapter 6: "Building Pyramids"
“I am puzzled by this nostalgia. People say it was not so bad, that socialism was more human. But everyone was egalitarian in the former Yugoslavia because everyone was poor. Yugoslavia was a dictatorship.”
— Dimitrij Rupel, as quoted in "In ex-Yugoslavia, Tito-era nostalgia" (27 January 2008), by Dan Bilefsky, The New York Times
