What if the Kingdom of Yugoslavia had been more federal upon her creation? How would this more federal Yugoslavia look like during the interwar period and then in the Second World War?
A genuine federation.Depends--is it a federation in name only like for the USSR or a genuine federation like in, say, the US?
Then it could work out pretty well.A genuine federation.
If Yugoslavia is more federal prior to ww2, then the country might actually fight against the Axis and inflict heavier casualties with some pan-Yugoslav Chetnik resistance movement emerging.If the Croats don't engage in genocide against the Serbs during WWII, there might be a chance to hold Yugoslavia together.
Agreed.If Yugoslavia is more federal prior to ww2, then the country might actually fight against the Axis and inflict heavier casualties with some pan-Yugoslav Chetnik resistance movement emerging.
The communists could appeal to everyone. The chetniks were Serb nationalists that scared off other groupsAgreed.
Also, why'd Tito's Communists become so prominent in the fight against the Axis?
The Yugoslav Partisans became popular in the armed resistance when the communist leadership advocated for more of a popular front whilst the Chetniks became more and more oriented around Serb nationalism, committing countless atrocities.Also, why'd Tito's Communists become so prominent in the fight against the Axis?
