The Rise and Fall of Yugoslavia – Full Documentary

For seventy-four years, one country stood on the fault line between Eastern and Western Europe: Yugoslavia, the "Land of the South Slavs." It began as a royal kingdom stitched together after World War I, collapsed under Axis invasion in 1941, and was rebuilt by Josip Broz Tito as a socialist federation that defied both Hitler and Stalin. Then, after Tito's death, debt, nationalism and fear pulled it apart in the bloodiest European conflict since 1945. This illustrated documentary covers the full story: the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, the 1928 parliament shooting and royal dictatorship, World War II and the Ustaše genocide, Partisans and Chetniks, the Tito–Stalin split, the Non-Aligned Movement and the red passport, the 1974 Constitution, Slobodan Milošević's rise, the wars in Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo, the Srebrenica genocide, Dayton, and the seven successor states that exist today.
