Why couldn't Yugoslavia just stay as one country?

Why couldn't Yugoslavia just stay as one country?
I mean, it could have worked out, even without communism. A union of countries with equal status, kind of like the United Kingdom. Could have been rich and prosperous, and actually matter in Europe.
Instead, all its former federal subjects insist being irrelevant, poor little shitholes. Why is this?

macedonia looks like a ballsack lmoa

We're not post-Ottoman Yugoslavs. In my eyes, all of our politicians who sought union with Serbia and Croatia were basically traitors. And this is evidenced by the fact that the Yugoslav government refused to intervene militarily/was quick to reach an unfavourable settlement for the Slovenian side in Slovenia's border disputes with Austria and Italy after each world war.

But that's not all. The Yugoslav government basically blocked the construction of highways in Slovenia for 25 years so that we wouldn't get too far ahead of Bosnia, Kosovo and Macedonia. Yugoslavia was anti-Slovenian.

tldw: Milosevic wanted to be Hitler

lack of good leadership after tito, constant aggresion on minorities

also
>transitioning to capitalism

a country that is as volatile as yugoslavia wouldnt survive ANOTHER revolution to convert to capitalism.
and even if they did, somehow, they would still seperate.The only difference would be that there would be slighlty less chance of a civil war

Why couldn't the CSA just not secede?
I mean, it could have worked out, even with slavery. A union of states with equal status, kind of like the USA. Could have been rich and prosperous, and actually hold slaves.
Instead, all it's former slaves insist being irrelevant, poor people. Why is this?

...

>slovenia
literally a meme country

>says the speaker of the Serbocroatian language who belongs to the Yugoslavian ethnicity

revolt more because YUH WUZ KANGS and MUH USTASHA HISTORIANS, Antun.

Slovenia is cute!

CUTE

hahahaha the b8 works every fucking time

Lol dude. So basically you are saying that if you dindnt enter in Yugoslavia it would be better and easier for you to create your own country after youve been splited between Austria, Italy and Hungary? Good luck with that.

it could never work with Serbs (*spits) in charge. it might have worked if they let Ljubljana be the capital. Slovenia was/is the most prosperious, and its small so it wouldnt...be Serbia.

but of course Serbs would never have that, Narnia is more plausable scenario.

Because of American jews. They wanted it split. Propaganda "u are better than them" works well still. Now they are trying to do the same with Ukraine and Russia.

>inb4 he starts spamming pictures of lakes, mountains and castles to prove his "superiority"

because muh freedoms

because serbia doesn't want to be equal, they want to impose their identity over the rest

russians and serbians are the cancer of slavic peoples

>mfw Croatia is a dry desert with no lakes
>mfw there are nearly no castles in Croatia because Croatia's Turkish masters preferred to live in tents
>tfw there are no mountains in Croatia except Velebit, which is actually a huge pile of sand from the Sahara
>tfw the Turks felt right at home in the Great Erg of Croatia

Because serbs.

tbf Macedonians are Bulgarians in denial and Slovenes consider themselves too good to stay. Other than that the remaining regions could have easily remained in Yugoslavia, but Croatians and Serbians have always been rivals of some sort despite being the same except for religion, which is probably the biggest difference between Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia. Their nationalism is basically founded on the different religions, that's why Bosnians are considered traitors up to this day.

dude freedom lmao

Why couldn't you spend at least 30-minutes engaging in some light research before asking a retarded question?

That's me, not him.
