There are few countries in Europe which contain within an area as
small as the British Isles such a variety of natural environments and
cultures as Yugoslavia. This book provides a survey of the history of
the South Slav peoples who came together at the end of the First World
War to form the first Yugoslav kingdom, and who emerged from the chaos
of the Second World War to become citizens of a socialist federal
republic, led by the Communist Party under the leadership of Marshal
Tito. Beginning in Roman times, the book traces the rise and fall of
the medieval Slav principalities, the dominance of the Ottoman and
Habsburg empires, the proclamation of the kingdom of Serbs, Croats and
Slovenes in 1918, the disastrous effects of the German occupation and
the creation of a new socialist order under President Tito.
