The Timeline Of The Political Break Up Of Yugoslavia by Racoon(op): 7:21am On Jun 25, 2025
Yugoslavia, like most other Eastern European nations, was a collection of tribes brought together using the mighty Communist USSR force and not voluntary agreements and goodwill.

After the end of the cold war and the ensuing new world order of democracy, transparency and accountability, referendums were held across the communist world to determine the fate of USSR, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia.

There was an overwhelming vote to end these forced unities. Yugoslavia disintegrated into tribal enclaves as shown: Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo, Montenegro, Macedonia resulting in the so-called Balkan wars.

The same fate befell USSR. That's how we got Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, etc. East Germany merged with then West Germany to form one Germany.

There was also a time Russia was part of Yugoslavia, then it the called USSR. I remember Montenegro and Serbia once also broke out from it. Next Boznia and Hego.

Well, the rise and fall of political empires/dynasties are considered as normal political sequence of events.

These are people that did not enforce “unity” on one another.

Here in Nigeria our politicians refuse to even try to conduct a simple referendum because they benefit greatly from this contraption called unity.

Funny enough, the people have been brainwashed to believe their fellow citizens are the problems and not the politicians that create so much divisions.

"3.2 Basis of the Federation: "(1) Every Ethnic Nationality and People in Nigeria has an unconditional right to self-determination within here delineated territories.
Meanwhile, the people feeding fat on the carcass of this dying nation kept on the rhetorics that the unity of Nigeria is not negotiable. Conduct a referendum and let's see how Nigerians want this forced but failed nationhood to look like.

There's still an ongoing conflict between Kosovo Albanians and Serbs, with the former unilaterally declaring independence in 2008 while Serbia is not ready to recognize Kosovo as independent.

The conflict has never been resolved.

It was a terrible period in the history of Yugoslavia. Many people were killed in the battle.

That is what will end up Nigeria until wè either do restructing or wè keep on pushing the evil day forward.

But for now,let us keep on with the fake unity and spending Oil Money from the Niger Delta. When the Oil Money from the ND finishes, it will be to your tents O Isreal

P.S Last time Yugoslavia played the World Cup was I think USA 94 or is it France 98?
Re: The Timeline Of The Political Break Up Of Yugoslavia by slivertongue: 9:41am On Jun 25, 2025
Nigeria will never from learn history. I pity those who think Nigeria is beyond dissolution
Re: The Timeline Of The Political Break Up Of Yugoslavia by Kingpele(m): 9:44am On Jun 25, 2025
Here we are already divided by religion and tribe, we can never do anything to change our country, if we don't first change our ideology on what patriotism means
Re: The Timeline Of The Political Break Up Of Yugoslavia by mrvitalis(m): 9:45am On Jun 25, 2025
I have said it here and I would say it

There is no country or empire in the history of man that had

1) Nigerian like make up multiple ethnicity as majority without any clear majority ethnicity
2) centralized system of government
3) without each ethnicity governing themselves

That lasted more than 100 years

Let's see if Nigeria would reach 2060

I didn't go through the written notes, but going by the colours on the Map, Serbia is Yugoslavia.

There's still no unity even in the tiny parts Yugoslavia broke into o. Each of those tiny parts has multiple seperatists groups. There's Vojvodina still fighting to separate from Serbia and this is after Montenegro broke away recently.Srpska is still fighting to separate from Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Watch how same thing would have happened in Nigeria if we had allowed the bitter hateful lots to hijack the national interest.

Do not give chance to those unpatriotic elements who have never built anything in their lives but want to break up Nigeria.

They're are accursed lepers , if you allow them, they will spill the milk you and others have milked all day! Bad luck people who should never be allowed into any household or nation. They balkanized Yugoslavia, destroyed the legacies of the founders and now feeding on its entrails!

It's happening in Sudan right now!

That's their evil plan for Nigeria but for our vigilance and patriotism. May God continue to bless Nigeria for ever.

The south east will break up and stay on their own.

The south south will break up and stay on their own.


The south west and the north will live peacefully in Nigeria as brothers and sisters in love.

Praise God.

Dey play. Go read about it then you will know there was massive killings, assassination and war. No wonder una plenty wey dey talk anything about your country but feel the whites are pure and angels. You think splitting comes with dialogue and round table discussions??

Most of these Gen Z never had the privilege to witness the existence of that country.


Yet they think they know better than their elders
Re: The Timeline Of The Political Break Up Of Yugoslavia by RavinWolf(m): 9:51am On Jun 25, 2025
The disintegration of Yugoslavia is a complex issue shaped by historical, political, and social factors. While it's true that the federation was formed under communist rule, the subsequent conflicts and divisions cannot be attributed solely to that origin.

The calls for independence and self-determination were driven by ethnic national identities, economic interests, and political grievances that had developed over decades, exacerbated by the weakening of central authority and the rise of nationalism in the late 20th century.

In the aftermath, the violent conflicts highlighted the deep-seated tensions among different ethnic groups, leading to tragic consequences for many. The case of Yugoslavia serves as a reminder of the challenges of nation-building and the delicate balance between unity and diversity in multi-ethnic states.

Moreover, comparisons to the breakup of the USSR can be slightly misleading; while both dissolutions involved a push for independence, the contexts and outcomes were distinct. Each region’s path to independence arose from its unique historical backdrop and the particular dynamics at play during the end of the Cold War.

In discussions about these historical events, it’s vital to recognize the diverse perspectives and experiences of the people involved, as well as the ongoing implications for regional stability and international relations today.

Nigeria is bound to divide .
Like someone rightly said .
We're just postponing the evil day cos some people benefit immensely from this contraption called Nigeria.
It's a shame that when the fracture happens..
West Africa will feel it badly.
Amend the constitution..
Allow referendum organized and supervised by the AU and UN (no one in their right minds would suggest INEC).
Let Nigerians decide their future..
There won't be any violence whatsoever..
Denying us that right is just capping the lid of an active volcano..when it erupts..May God help us

Stop saying rubbish abeg. Be sure of your information before posting. Which Russia was part of Yugoslavia?
Re: The Timeline Of The Political Break Up Of Yugoslavia by AntiChristian: 9:53am On Jun 25, 2025
If you look into why they broke up like that USA must be involved somehow!
Re: The Timeline Of The Political Break Up Of Yugoslavia by popp(m): 9:54am On Jun 25, 2025
Others were breaking, Germany was merging.

I need more light on this.
Re: The Timeline Of The Political Break Up Of Yugoslavia by onuman: 9:54am On Jun 25, 2025
Because they are white people. They get good head and understood that their Yugoslavia of multi ethnic and multi religious country cannot last.
Sp they divided.

In Nigeria, because of crude oil millions of Nigerians have died due to the inadequacies of one Nigeria. Yet politicians don't ask themselves some salient questions on the appropriateness of one Nigeria.

Russia was never part of the former Yugoslavia, Russia was part of the former Soviet Union (USSR).

Yugoslavia sent their pilots to fly Nigerian planes during the Nigerian Biafra war.......they have crumbled like cookies, uSSR sent arms and ammo to Nigeria during the civil war...they have crumbled into 11 nations including Russia.........the United Kingdom supplied tanks to Nigeria and gave Nigeria global diplomatic cover....they have crumbled into an almost free Scotland and almost independent northern Ireland republic....even Wales may soon get an independent parliament..........Do not mess with Umuchineke...Ndigbo! Ee go pain you for body!
Re: The Timeline Of The Political Break Up Of Yugoslavia by favour32(m):
Conduct a referendum in Nigeria and know that majority of people want the country to split.
Genocide is on going in Nigeria.
Many want to go their separate ways.

Yes you're right about that, the US helped engineer the breakup because it was the largest country on earth
