      Yugoslavia was literally and directly backed by the US to oppose the Soviets and when the USSR was defeated Yugoslavia also broke up. It didn’t all happen at the same time, of course, but those things are pretty obviously connected. Or do you think that was a coincidence?

        Yugoslavia was trying (and failing) to sit in both chairs at the same time, same like Serbia is doing today between Russia and the west. You seem extremely uninformed about the subject. The reason why the breakup began after the fall of Soviet Union is because Soviet Union would provide a big support to JNA in case of any unrest, and any effort at seperation would be ended quickly. HVO and other militaries only had a chance after the Soviets were out of the picture.

          Yugoslavia was being propped up as a buffer state by both sides (more the US than the USSR but they both contributed) and once the Cold War became irrelevant there wasn’t anyone propping them up. That’s it.
