How did that world come about?
I'm not too sure. It's mainly ASB, and I made it for the map, not the story behind it. Though, I think it could be an interesting TL...

I think viperhawkz' is supposed to be a parody.
Yes. Not a very good one, I suppose, but hey.
No, Bosnia could be a part of Serbia, that is if Bosnia was integrated by Serbia in the Middle Ages or no Bosnians adopt Islam and aside from that Serbs also consider Bosnia as a Serbian state just like Montenegro.So, genocide/ethnic cleansing either way? Wow, no possible way this can end badly...

What, so the Serbs murdered/expelled most/all Bosniaks to Turkey? And settled it with what? Serbs from Kosovo, Sumadija? They tried that OTL, look what happened. Now Kosovo is going to have even less Serbs and be chock full of angry Albanians, unless they deported- erm, "humanely resettle" them to Albania too?Alternate Kingdom of Serbia

This is where the logic of the "Great Serbia" or "All Serbs in one country" idea fails. You can't copy-paste entire populations. Also, genocide is bad.
In this TL, the Bosniaks are considered as Muslim Serbs, the OTL Stokavian Croats are Catholic Serbs while the OTL Serbs are Orthodox Serbs, Serbs in this TL have many faiths.What, so the Serbs murdered/expelled most/all Bosniaks to Turkey?

I was just trying to say that Serbia did deserve to get Bosnia and Bosnia was one of the reasons for World War I because Serbia wanted to protect the Serbs in Bosnia...aside from that the Slavs in Dubrovnik believed that they are Catholic Serbs.You didn't specify that in the original post. Your initial wording was "Serbian lands in my opinion", implying that the map did not belong to an alternate TL.
Yes they did. However, there were virtually no Serbs in the area of modern Bosnia and Herzegovina until the late 16th-17th century when, due to internal migration within the Ottoman Empire, many Orthodox peasants from Serbia and Montenegro flocked to Bosnia to work on the lands of the muslim Bosniak nobility, since the original tenants were wiped out by war and plagues. Serbian historiography vehemently denies this fact and insists that the the original Slavic inhabitants of Bosnia were Serbs, despite the fact that there is no archeological evidence to support this.Depends on when the PoD is, afterall the Serbs did move around quite a bit.
Do you happen to frequent Serb nationalist forums or something?I was just trying to say that Serbia did deserve to get Bosnia and Bosnia was one of the reasons for World War I because Serbia wanted to protect the Serbs in Bosnia...aside from that the Slavs in Dubrovnik believed that they are Catholic Serbs.

I never said that and it's beside the point. I'm fairly sure most AH.commers are aware that Nazi Germany could not conquer Russia without genocide and slave labor.lol when?
Yeah, exactly, you can't, but when someone posts a map including greater Germany, wiping out some 50 million Russians it's a nice AH map
