Why Yugoslavia Was Doomed From the Start

In 1984, Sarajevo hosted the Winter Olympics. Eight years later, the same stadium was a mass grave.

This is the story of how Yugoslavia, a country built on a political experiment, destroyed itself from the inside. From the invention of a nation after WWI, through Tito's "Brotherhood and Unity" project, to economic collapse, nationalism, and the worst atrocity on European soil since WWII. Yugoslavia's history isn't just a war story. It's a story about what happens when the idea of holding a country together disappears.

If you've ever wondered why the Balkans look the way they do on a map today, this is a good start.
