Yugoslavia was an artificial state created in 1918-1919 by merging large areas of Austria-Hungary with Serbia. As the various parts of the country were so different it had a rigidly centralized monarchic government. During World War II the Nazis and Italians exploited widespread resentments and set up collaboratist regimes. After the War, Yugoslavia became a federal republic. In the short and medium term, this eased internal tensions, but it also encouraged nationalism and in the longer run sowed the seeds for the breakup of the country.
Yugoslavia was located in southeastern Europe, near the Adriatic Sea.
