The Autonomous Province of Western Bosnia was a small unrecognized proto-state that existed in the northwest of Bosnia and Herzegovina between 1993 and 1995. It consisted mainly of the town of Velika Kladuša, its capital, as well as a few nearby villages and fields. It was proclaimed as a result...

From the first half of the 2000s - the end of the ten years of the 21st century, the former Republic of Macedonia, which in a natural historical development after the Balkan Wars and even after the Two World Wars would have been the South-Western part of my native Bulgaria, and after the Second...

Let's say that during the war, the Western part of Yugoslavia (Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia) was liberated by the Western Allies and non-Communist partisans, while the Eastern part (Serbia, Montenegro, etc.) was liberated by Tito's partisans and the Soviets. Both sides set up their own...

Even today, Bosnia stands out for having a Muslim European population. While Albania also has a Muslim population, it is not Slavic, making Bosnia more unique IMO. Of course, other Balkan nations had (and still have) significant Muslim minorities (e.g., Bulgaria, Greece), but most were either...

Please bear in mind that realism wasn't a goal when creating this timeline. It is imagined as part of different universe which, while being historically similar to our own, has some significant deviations (especially noticable in both world wars). Criticism, suggestions and comments are...

Context: So, the 1997 Montenegrin republic-level presidential election was very close. It was mainly a context between prime minister Milo Đukanović and incumbent president Momir Bulatović, both of the fracturing Democratic Party of Socialists. In the first round of voting, Bulatović had won...

So... what we know, or at least i know, is that in OTL Macedonia left Yugoslavia peacefully. Bulgaria had no reason to join in as they hoped for a peaceful unification when all the mess ended and they even ignored the embargo on Serbia by allowing the Mafia and others to supply the Serbian with...

It is rather unclear what exactly Austria-Hungary intended to do with Serbia and Montenegro after the Central Powers would have won the 'Great War'. The southern part of Serbia will have been annexed by Bulgaria. But what to do with the northern part? Reading about the Kriegsziele of...

After WWII and after Tito and his party take power in Yugoslavia, let’s say he decides to split up Bosnia and Herzegovina between Croatia and Serbia with much of the Muslims going into the Serbian part of it. He does this as a way to placate both the Serbs and Croats since he fears that a...

Pretty much as the tin says, what if the Ottoman Empire did not declare war on Bulgaria (or anyone else for that matter) during the Second Balkan War? Would Bulgaria be able to hold itself against just the Serbs, Greeks and Romanians ? If not, would Greece end up being able to take more of...

Let's say that when the SFRY is established, Kosovo is made a republic in its own right instead of a semi-autonomous subdivision of Serbia. How does this impact the course of Yugoslavia's history? How much wind does this take out of the sails of the agitation that led to the Anti-Bureaucratic...

Hello, y'all. Today, I learned of the original plan for the partition of the Ottoman Balkans (mapped below). Serbia was originally supposed to get most of Albania, with Bulgaria recieving more of Macedonia, though the Albanian Revolt resulted in this never happening, and Serbia pushing into...

As we know, before WWI, Europe was a mix of paranoia, nationalism, and alliances. A month after the Death of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, which caused Russia, who was allied with Serbia, declaring war on Austria-Hungary. This then caused Germany to declare...

Ok, let's say that USA and NATO keep out of Yugoslavia because they are busy somewhere else. 1993 WTC bombing being successfull is a good started PoD to make Americans focus their attention on places like Sudan and Somalia during the first half of 1990s. With War on Terror starting 8 years...

OTL, the treaty of Saint Germaine that ended Austria-Hungary's involvement in ww1 infamously saw that Italy would only gain token lands ceded. this is, at least, in part because of the nature of the Austrian collapse and Serbia's conflicting desires over what would become Yugoslavia. but...

Starting from around the turn of the century, Austria-Hungary begins to arm itself at the same pace as the other European Great Powers. Could the Dual Monarchy stand its ground on its own against Russia? The conflict would still be ignited by the Sarajevo assassination, the subsequent...

Little Serb: A Longer Lasting Lazarevic Dynasty in the 15th Century Historically the Lazarevic dynasty ruled Serbia for two generations following the collapse of the Serbian Empire. During that time the dynasty was both an enemy and ally of the Ottoman Empire. Stefan the Tall, the second ruler...

During one of the Byzantine empire's weaker stages in the late first millennium, what would be the impact if an orthodox kingdom (thinking the Serbs but it's open) were to control the Western Balkans and all of Italy? Could an Eastern country controlling Rome cause a smaller schism that pushes...

I imagined what would have happened if Gavrilo did not die in 1918, and lived a few more years (at least in the early 20's) to see the birth of the future Yugoslavia.

The Battle of Ankara almost ended the Ottoman Empire iotl. Iotl, Bayezid I arrived on the battlefield on the 19th, but decided to camp instead of attacking immediately when Timur's army was strung out and could have been defeated piecemeal as advised by Stephan Lazarevic. Let's say Bayezid takes...
