Torn by conflicting nationalistic beliefs, Yugoslavia fractured and collapsed into civil war and ethnic cleansing

Explanation:

Yugoslavia was a communist country and probably the best one for living of those types of countries until its famous leader Tito was in charge. Tito died though at the beginning of the 1980's and nationalists managed to get hold onto the highest positions in the country. What was a country that was a prime example of people of different ethnic and religious groups living, collaborating, and developing together for 40 years, started to quickly crumble from the mid 1980's. The tensions grew during the second half of the 1980's, mostly between the Serbian and Croatian nationalists, leading to a bloody war and genocides at the beginning of the 1990's. One by one, the states declared independence, with only Macedonia being able to get out of Yugoslavia peacefully and without war.
