Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia

Yugoslavia was invaded by Axis powers in 1941 and was later established as a communist federal republic in 1946 led by Josip Broz Tito until his death in 1980. It consisted of six constituent republics and two autonomous provinces. After a crisis in the 1980s and rise of nationalism, Yugoslavia broke apart in wars between 1991-1995, forming into five independent countries. Montenegro and Serbia then formed a reduced federation known as Serbia and Montenegro until both gained independence in 2006.

Yugoslavia was invaded by the Axis powers on 6 April 1941.

In 1943, a Democratic
Federal Yugoslavia was proclaimed by the Partisan resistance. In 1944 King Peter II,
then living in exile, recognised it as the legitimate government. The monarchy was
subsequently abolished in November 1945. Yugoslavia was renamed the Federal
People's Republic of Yugoslavia in 1946, when a communist government was
established. It acquired the territories of Istria, Rijeka, and Zadar from Italy. Partisan
leader Josip Broz Tito ruled the country as president until his death in 1980. In 1963,
the country was renamed again, as the Socialist Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia (SFRY).
The six constituent republics that made up the SFRY were the SR Bosnia and
Herzegovina, SR Croatia, SR Macedonia, SR Montenegro, SR Serbia, and SR
Slovenia. Serbia contained two Socialist Autonomous
Provinces, Vojvodina and Kosovo, which after 1974 were largely equal to the other
members of the federation.[3][4] After an economic and political crisis in the 1980s and
the rise of nationalism, Yugoslavia broke up along its republics' borders, at first into
five countries, leading to the Yugoslav Wars. From 1993 to 2017, the International
Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia tried political and military leaders from
the former Yugoslavia for war crimes, genocide, and other crimes committed during
those wars.
After the breakup, the republics of Montenegro and Serbia formed a reduced
federative state, Serbia and Montenegro, known officially until 2003 as the Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY). This state aspired to the status of sole legal
successor to the SFRY, but those claims were opposed by the other former republics.
Eventually, it accepted the opinion of the Badinter Arbitration Committee about
shared succession[5] and in 2003 its official name was changed to Serbia and
Montenegro. This state dissolved when Montenegro and Serbia each became
independent states in 2006, while Kosovo proclaimed its independence from Serbia in
2008.
