The Yugoslav state of the interwar period was a child of the Great European War. Its borders were superimposed onto a topography of conflict and killing, for it housed many war veterans who had served or fought in opposing armies (those of the Central Powers and the Entente) during the war. These veterans had been adversaries but after 1918 became fellow subjects of a single state, yet in many cases they carried into peace the divisions of the war years. John Paul Newman tells their story, showing how the South Slav state was unable to escape out of the shadow cast by the First World War. Newman reveals how the deep fracture left by war cut across the fragile states of 'New Europe' in the interwar period, worsening their many political and social problems, and bringing the region into a new conflict at the end of the interwar period.

This is as compared to the Croatian people who wanted to retain the autonomy they enjoyed under the Austro-Hungarian system, and were largely done with kings. Unless they were Croatian officers of the old Habsburg state who had no use for nationalism in the first place, and who now found themselves a barely tolerated and largely reviled clique in the new order.
As for the Slovenes, they might have been the one major group who had some interest in the Yugoslavian idea, but only as a buttress against annexation by Italy.
All these attitudes would have been hard to transcend with the best aspirations in the world. But when even Serbian aspirations could not be satisfied, as witnessed by the new state's inability to offer land to its soldiers and succor to its wounded veterans, this only led to further protest and politicized violence by the supposed beneficiaries of victory. A glorious origin myth will only take you so far without practical performance.
Again, I got a great deal out of this monograph, which has a higher aim of placing the Yugoslavian example into the wider experience of post-1918 political violence in the successor states to the fallen dynastic empires, but it is admittedly not the first book you want to read on the subject. ( )
