DBWI: Tito doesn't carry out population transfers

In the context of the end of WW2, Yugoslavia's President Josip Broz Tito carried out massive population transfers within the country modeling what happened in the rest of Europe like the 14 million Germans expelled from Eastern and Central Europe, the Hungarians from Romania and the Poles from the SSR's of Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania.

By the time of the end of the Cold War, Yugoslavia's Republics of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo and Macedonia all had an ethnic/national majority

Historians still debate the legacy of Tito's actions, even in this forums most of the stories end up in a dystopian ethnic-tensed Yugoslavia destroying itself.

But what if Tito had not carried out those actions good for some, despicable for others?
 
Well, for starters, the NBA would probably have fewer Serbian and Bosnian players. Second, I doubt that Subotica, home of many Serbian refusenik refugees would have been established on the West Bank,...

It wasn't just an internal transfer. You're forgetting that Albanians were sent to Albania. Tito tried to deport the Hungarians as well but Stalin vetoed that decision.

He expelled also many italians, although a small group of stalinist die-harder counter-emigrated from Montefalcone to Pola/Pula.

That would be a huge butterfly, especially (if and) when Yugoslavia explodes in the '90s.
 
Unless I'm mistaken, you're referrig to how he pretty much forced move alot of the ethnic minorities in each region to what would be considered their "home region", right (well, esxcept for how he did it with Bosnia and Croatia, but that was more to give Bosnia an actual coast line and fix crescent shape)?
