What happened in Yugoslavia in 1992?

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.

-imperialism


-political/economical rivalries


i have to be able to explain the above. help!
Explain causes of wwii?
It was basically a difference of opinion. Hitler thought all of Europe belonged to him, and the people of Spain, France, Belgium, etc.etc. thought parts of it belonged to them.
Explain causes of wwii?
The legacy of WWI has to do with the peace treaty that was signed to end WWI. Germany was forced to pay a lot of money to the other countries. Hitler said, %26quot;we aren%26#039;t going to pay anymore%26quot;, which made the Germans very happy with him.





The depression hit hard everywhere, but no where did it hit harder than in Germany. They had rampant inflation. You would take a wheel barrow to work with you, and they would pay you at the end of the day, filling up your wheel barrow with money who%26#039;s value was so low, it%26#039;s not even funny, and then you would run to the store and hope what you had in your wheel barrow was enough to buy bread, before inflation drove up the price (not to mention supply and demand).





As far as Ethnic conflicts go, I%26#039;ve not seen any convincing arguments that these really played a significant part. Hitler did blame the Jews for Germany%26#039;s economic woes, and a populace eager for a scape goat went along with it (somewhat). But I don%26#039;t see that as a %26quot;cause%26quot; per see.





Imperialism. Again, I don%26#039;t see this as a cause.





Political / economic rivalries. Frankly, this was a major factor in Hitler coming to power. The communists had taken over Russia. In many a European country, the communists tried to do the same. They almost succeeded in Munich, which would have taken over the German state of Bavaria. Many people clung to Hitler, bad as he was, because he was anti-communist and they were afraid that the communists would take over.





The man who would later be Pope during WWII was the Embassidor from the Vadicant to Germany during Hitler%26#039;s rise to power. He was in Munich. He had some close calls during the communist uprisings. Let%26#039;s not forget too that a pillar of communism is that %26quot;relgion is the opiate (sp?) of the masses%26quot;. Relgion in Russia had largely been banned. The church wasn%26#039;t exactly keen on communisim either.





Classically, German schools have always had a required religion class. The curriculm was written by the Lutheran church. The vadicant wanted to write the curriculm (and thus be able to put Catholicism in a more favorable light). The Ebassidor thought this was very important and wanted it badly.





Hitler%26#039;s main obstacle to power was a very powerful political party - the Calthoic party. Remember, separation of church and state is an American idea. The Embassidor didn%26#039;t think this political party was important. He wanted the curriculm. Hitler didn%26#039;t care about the curriculm - he knew that his collition could not get power so long as the Catholic party existed. Hitler offered him a deal - disband the Catholic party and you can write the curriculm. The party disbanded, Hitler took power, the rest is history. (the remnants of the Catholic party later became the %26quot;Christian Party%26quot;, which held power for quite some time in the 60%26#039;s, 70%26#039;s and 80%26#039;s).





PS: Let me state that I believe the Embassidor (later Pope) did not understand the consequences of his actions. I do not believe that he knowingly put Hitler into power. I am not blaming the Catholic Church for Hitler.
Reply:There were Four causes of WW2: Imperialism or people taking over other nations. Militarism or use of military which meant using military wrongly. Nationalism or bragging who%26#039;s the best, and Balance of Power(stopping one nation from becoming to powerful). Also the resentment Germany had over 20 years with forced signing the Treaty of Versailles and losing military and territory and paying reparations for war. It was a big issue.

Wat was the changeofthe meaning of equality for freeblacks from post revolutionary war to the precivil war era

Basically, the issue of free blacks rose in slave states, where free blacks were considered to be opponents of slaves, although some free blacks owned slaves themselves. Slave laws were passed to regulate the movement of slaves between plantations and free blacks. In the North, blacks were not first-class citizens, but they had freedom of movement....

What kind of warriors would the viking of fought?

like knights..etc..
What kind of warriors would the viking of fought?
Mostly other Europeans Bretons and Silurians and ancient Scotts. For some idea of how they would look go through the pictures on the Museum Replicas Website by time period.





That is where I got most of my descriptions for a SciFi book I wrote. It was set in the 13th Century.

What was the Celtic culture like?

I do know they like singing with Irish accents....about %26quot;bonnie%26quot; things.
What was the Celtic culture like?
the ancient Celts were farmers and warriors, with a strongly hierarchical society with powerful chiefs. They built large hillforts to protect their communities, some of their hillforts can still be seen at places like Maiden Castle in Dorest for instance. Celtic warriors were famous for their ferocity and bravery. Chariots were used by the warriors,a nd also cavalry.





They worshipped many gods and goddesses, and apparently (according to Caesar) practiced human sacrifice. The Druids were important figures in Celtic society, they were priests and teachers, and seem to have been highly regarded. The Celts seem to have a cult of the human head, many carved stone heads have been found that were made by Celtic craftsmen. Sometimes their dead were buried, and sometimes they were cremated.





They had fine craftsmen and produced wonderful jewellerry, armour, and weapons. they also produced their own coins, often with representations of horses.





Women and men seem to have had equla rights to own and inherit property, but it seems that Celtic noblemen practiced polygamy. Caesar also wrote that women sometimes had more than one husband, which is more unusual. Noble women could sometimes rise to positions of power, as was the case with Queen Cartamunda and Queen Boudicca, for example.
