What happened in Yugoslavia in 1992?
Ah, I love this story.





So Yugoslavia is this giant Socialist Federal Republic that was basically made that way because of the whole Russian takeover. It began around the end of WWII.





So 1992, it finally began to give in to the democratic stuff that was going on, but mostly because it was such a diverse place with people that absolutely hated each other, and it began to split up.





The first two to go were Slovenia and Croatia. They left exactly in 1992 even though Yugoslavia still claimed that it owned it. Other countries recognized there independence.





Eventually, the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia split completely into Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia, and....Kosovo which only really recognized itself as independent.





So what was happening is that the last legacies of Russia, the socialist states that it had created (of course, by this time Russia was pretty desinegrated itself), were breaking up. Yugoslavia being one of the very last.
