France used to look so weird
nothing.

Autistic Serbs starting wars that they can't win once again.

They got lucky enough to have a competent statesman to drag all the idiot monkeys through turbulent times. As soon as he croaked they fell apart due to turbo-autism. How Croats, Serbs, Montenigrins, and Bosnians are capable of considering themselves to be different peoples is beyond reason.

Yugoslavia for the most part liberated itself and then the USSR needed them to not align with NATO and Nato needed them to not align with the USSR.

Croat and Serb one is easy, different religion and written language as well as separated history for hundreds of years. The real wonder is Montenegro.
>>2711159
Protestants and Catholics, each also with their own dialects, have managed to share Germany without much fuss.

People don't have to be all that different for actual and real hatreds to shape their behaviors. If Croats and Slovenes hated each other as much as Croats and Serbs would it really be "more correct"?

Protestantism is an outgrowth of Catholicism while orthodoxy was an even split with a proto-faith a thousand years ago.
Catholicism and Protestantism are simpler than orthodoxy and Protestantism.

Different historical circumstances. Germany has been somehow united since the early medieval age, all from the East Frankish kingdom through the Holy Roman empire to the German confederation. Croatia and Serbia was two different duchies and later kingdoms (Serbia even became its own empire). Even when Germany got united it took some effort from the economically and militarily superior Prussia to hold the nation together and they kept Catholic Austria out. Serbia's is in no way near as strong as Prussia was to its surrounding states.

Montenegro is a product of socialist nation engineering.
>Đilas was dubbed by Serbian nationalists as the "creator of the separate Montenegrin ethnicity" (as opposed to Serb). In an interview to the Borba Daily on 1 May 1945, Đilas stated that "Montenegrins are of Serb origin", but had over time evolved into a separate nation and ethnic group. Đilas made great contributions to Montenegrin literature and historiography with his works. Later in life, from the mid-1980s, Đilas referred to himself as "Serbian" (as does his Belgrade-born son Aleksa, a Harvard-graduate sociologist). After he left the party, Đilas denied there existed a separate Montenegrin ethnicity and national identity, especially in his books Njegoš: Poet-Prince-Bishop and Rise and Fall.

>Metropolitan Danilo I (1696-1735) called himself "Duke of the Serb land".[2] Metropolitan Sava called his people, the Montenegrins, the "Serbian nation" (1766).[3] Petar I was the conceiver of a plan to form a new Slavo-Serbian Empire by joining Bay of Kotor, Dubrovnik, Dalmatia, Herzegovina to Montenegro and some of the highland neighbours (1807),[4] he also wrote "The Russian Czar would be recognized as the Tsar of the Serbs and the Metropolitan of Montenegro would be his assistant. The leading role in the restoration of the Serbian Empire belongs to Montenegro."

Also, here's the pre Balkan war Montenegrin Geography textbook.
>lives around 300k people, all of whom are Serbs, most of them are of the Orthodox faith, but some are Roman Catholic and some are Muhammadan, but it should be known that they are all of Serbian descent and Serbian nationality.

Montenegro as a sovereign nation is a German invention if anything.
>>2711373
How?
>>2711390
The German kaiser wanted Montenegro as a state to prevent Serbia from having sea access.
>>2711410
How did the Kaiser influence the creation of Montenegro as an independent distinct nation?
>>2711429
I might be thinking of Albania. I read One of them was created at the behests of the great powers to prevent Serbia from sea access.
>>2711410
No, that's Albania.
>>2711363
Montenegro was an independent state since 1789.

The difference being the prussians didn't chimp out and started claiming all germans are actually prussians.
