==Background== Yugoslavia had been a country located in Eastern Europe, created after the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire after the [[World War I]], during those years, and under a monarchical system, the country would have experienced great instability, which made that when the [[World War II]] broke out, Yugoslavia was the focus of invasions by [[Nazi Party|Nazi Germany]] and Fascist Italy, which ended in its disintegration after it split into [[puppet state]]s of the Nazis. It is there that the [[League of Communists of Yugoslavia]], led by [[Josip Broz Tito]] and with the support of the Soviet Union, managed to expel the Nazis and reunify Yugoslavia. After the war, Tito seizes power in Yugoslavia, turning it into a federative socialist dictatorship, and due to the great ethnic differences in the country, the main groups being Orthodox Serbs, Catholic Croats and Muslim Bosnians, Tito used repression to avoid nationalist uprisings. After the death of Tito, Yugoslavia lost that system that repressed nationalisms, which led to the rise of [[Ultranationalism|ultranationalist]] figures, such as the President of Serbia [[Slobodan Milošević]], who promoted Serbian nationalism and centralism within a federal system, set the stage necessary to start the war. One of the main factors for the start of the wars was the idea of "Greater Serbia", which proposed the union of all the territories inhabited by Serbian minorities.
