Manage episode 482096562 series 3644143
In this episode of The Perspicacious Perspective, we take a sharp, unflinching look at one of the most complex and tragic chapters of modern European history — the fall of Yugoslavia. From its post-World War II formation under the iron will of Josip Broz Tito to the brutal conflicts that tore it apart in the 1990s, we unravel the tangled web of politics, identity, and nationalism that fueled the Yugoslav Wars. We’ll explore how this multi-ethnic federation once held together, why it ultimately fractured, and what the legacy of its violent dissolution means for the Balkans today. Whether you’re new to the story or brushing up on the history you thought you knew, this episode offers a clear-eyed, insightful dive into a nation that no longer exists — but whose ghosts still linger.
