The term primordial is an adjective defined as "existing at or from the beginning."[1] To address the question I will discuss the way in which the violent disintegration of the former Yugoslavia was due to this, and also to the extent that it was caused by other factors for example the economic collapse as each factor can only present part of the whole story with the latest conflict being an instalment in the saga.

Three groups fought for control of the region, the Bosnians, the Croats, and the Serbs There has been much discussion over whether the war was a civil war or a war of aggression, the Serbs view it as a civil war while the Bosniaks viewed it as a war of aggression caused by the Serbs and Croats.
Croatia declared their independence from the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The Serbians had control over the Yugoslavian People’s Army as well as cooperative local Serbian forces. Croatia intended to break away from Yugoslavia to become an independent country, while Serbians living in Croatia, supported the Yugoslavian war efforts. They combated the withdrawal that Croatia wanted because they wanted Croatia to stay under the control of Yugoslavia, because the Serbs sought to be a new state
One of the youngest nations of Europe, Yugoslavia was created after World War I as a homeland for several different rival ethnic groups. The country was put together mostly from remnants of the collapsed Ottoman Empire and Austria-Hungary. Demands for self-determination by Slovenes, Croats, Serbs, and others were ignored. Yugoslavia thus became an uneasy association of peoples conditioned by centuries of ethnic and religious hatreds. World War II aggravated these rivalries, but Communist dictatorship

Slobodan Milosevic started the Bosnian Genocide because he imagined a pure Serb dominated state. Milosevic had much pride and arrogance in having power that he started this war. He didn’t want Croats, Bosniaks, or anyone but Serbs to be in their state. Once the Cold War ended, the Socialist Federal of Yugoslavia was led
again. However, this war, unlike the two previous Balkan wars that were fought against the occupiers, was a civil one. The member states of once great and glorified Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY) turned against each other. In 1991, Croatia and Slovenia declared their independence which initiated the Breakup of Yugoslavia (Pavkovic 136). Many causes led to this outcome, some of which were death of Josip Broz Tito, the great Yugoslav leader and the fall of socialism after The Cold War
I: Background After the Second World War, the Balkan states of Bosnia, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia, Macedonia and Slovenia joined the Federal People’s Republic of Yugoslavia. Years later, in 1980, after the untimely death of Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito, the growing nationalism and patriotism among the different Yugoslav people threatened to split their still fragile union apart. This process reached a tipping point in the mid-1980s during the rise of the former Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic

There were a number of damaging aspects of past history and of the political and economic circumstances that contributed to the breakup and eventually caused the situation to snowball into a deadly series of inter-ethnic conflicts. Yugoslavia was reunified at the end of the war when the communist forces of Josip Broz Tito liberated the country. Under Tito, Yugoslavia adopted a relatively
The Split between Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union in 1948 occurred due to a conflict of interest between Josip Broz Tito and Joseph Stalin, the respective leaders of the Nations. Through this essay my aim is to highlight the causes of the dispute and then discuss the consequences of the split for both the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union. The period of 1948-1955 was known as the Informbiro and the distinguishing features of this period were conflict and schism between

Clausewitz's On War, first published in 1832, until now remains one of the most influential studies in understanding character, nature and conditions of warfare. In his book Clausewitz not only traced an interaction of intension and planning with the realities of combat, but by exploring the relationship of war to policy, politics and society gave a new philosophical justification to the art of war.

Yugoslavia was fabricated in the year of 1918. Located near the country of Italy, the territory is now broken up into six independent countries. The nation started to fall apart in the late 1980 's, following the World War II victory for the Allies. While some countries can benefit from diversity, there was just too much for Yugoslavia to survive. Yugoslavia as a nation failed because of too much autonomy between the six nations that came to be, too many different cultures in one nation, and simply

Bosnia was a republic in the former Yugoslavia before all six of the republics decided to split amidst differences of culture within the nation following the death of Josip Broz Tito’s. Bosnia endured much difficulty during the separation process from Yugoslavia. Today, Bosnia has a population of 3.830 million people and continues to grow.

Slovenia 1945 is a well-crafted blend of personal memories, historiography, and eyewitness accounts. The result is moving narrative that avoids the turgidity and dryness historical studies may fall prey to, as well as the indulgent emotionalism of some memoirs. The starting point for the volume was the letters written by John Corsellis, a conscientious objector working in the Friends Ambulance Unit in Austrian Carinthia from 1945 to 1947. This material was fleshed out with several dozen interviews
