Yugoslavia

Yugoslavia was a country on the Balkan Peninsula in Southeastern Europe. It was founded in late 1918, at the end of the First World War. Its capital town was Belgrade. Yugoslavia was originally a kingdom, and was proclaimed a republic in 1945, right after the end of the Second World War.

Croatia was part of Yugoslavia until June 1991. Between June 1991 and June 2006, Yugoslavia fell apart following the Yugoslavian Civil War. The name "Yugoslavia" was abandoned in February 2003.
