What if the break-up events of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia took place ten years earlier?
1972 Croatian Spring goes and gets suppressed as it was in OTL.
1974 Yugoslav Constitution gets confirmed as it was in OTL and Yugoslav collective government became founded.
Main POD is that Josip Broz Tito died ITTL in 1975, not in 1980 as it was in OTL.
Next events are like our-TL but take place much more quickly:
-- Post-Tito collective head of state brings discredit upon oneself much alike OTL Yugoslavian government but much more quickly. Quarrels upon the order of rotating of the members on the leading position became obvious and unhidden by autumn of 1976 already.
-- Protests in Kosovo occurs in 1977, not in 1981 as it was IOTL.
-- Serbian hothead nationalism begins to fire up
-- Some political figure like Alexandar Rankovic or Dobrica Cosic became 'Milosevic-of-70s', proclaims serbian nationalism openly and begins demanding the reductions in the autonomy of non-Serbian parts of Federal Republic.
-- Party crisis ensues
-- Kosovo Polje Speech happens in 1979, not in 1989 (by Rankovic, Cosic or whoever became the figurehead of serbian nationalist agenda)
-- Franjo Tudman and other croatian hotheads begins to rise up using the Croatian independence movement
-- Slovenia is concerned
-- Everyone are concerned
-- Local militia units starts to pillage the army depots, population takes up arms quietly...
-- And by the year 1980 the entire Republic is looking like petrol-moistened firewood...
What would NATO think about it?
What would USSR and Warsaw Pact prepare for?
How much upset would Italy, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria be?
