to "Yugoslavia" in 1929.
It was occupied by Germany in 1941 and a
resistance group headed up by Marshal Tito
expelled the Germans and assumed control
of the country in 1945. In the early
1900's Yugoslavia began to unravel
along ethnic lines.
Slovenia, Croatia and the Macedonia declared
their independence in 1991 and Bosnia and
Herzegovina did the same in 1992.
The remaining repoublics of Serbia
and Montenegro declared a new
"Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1992.
In February of 2003 the relationship between
the two republics was officially made
looser and an agreement was reached to
hold a referendum in each of those republics
in 2006 on full independence.
