Γιουγκοσλαβία was a country in Southeast Europe that existed from 1918 until the early 1990s. It was formed after World War I and initially included several regions and ethnic groups, including Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes. The country was known for its diverse culture and complex history, which included periods of unity and conflict. In the 1990s, Γιουγκοσλαβία began to break apart due to rising nationalism and political tensions. This led to a series of conflicts known as the Yugoslav Wars, resulting in the independence of several nations, including Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Serbia. Today, the former territories of Γιουγκοσλαβία are independent countries.
