The nations of the former Yugoslavia suffered the misfortune of being divided by the centuries-old border between the Catholic and Orthodox worlds, as well as the world of Islam. This unique position forces them to see, in extremis, the realization of their national projects in the disappearance of two empires, multinational and even anti-national, whose medieval origins and the structures (despite substantial reforms) of the old order are in no way in line with the national principle.
Thus, the Yugoslav movement, in the broadest sense of the word, has been fighting on the plains of Macedonia and on the shores of the Adriatic for over six years in order to establish its own national state or states. The war that began in Sarajevo caused not only the disappearance of the Habsburgs and the Ottomans but also the Romanovs and the Hohenzollerns. When the first Yugoslav institutions were created in 1918, France remained alone among the great powers still present in the Balkans and Central Europe.
