The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia) is what
is left of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia; after the break away
independence of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia,
Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro and Slovenia.
The Ottoman Turks ruled what is now Serbia from the 15th to 19th
centuries, and that is evident by some of the architecture and cultural influences that
they left behind.
World War I was started after a Serb nationalist assassinated Archduke
Francis Ferdinand of Austria and his wife, Czech Countess Sophie Chotek, in Sarajevo; then a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The disintegration of the Austo-Hungarian Empire towards the end of
World War I inspired the South Slav independence movement.
King Alexander I of Serbia tried to rule the Land of South Slavs, but
was himself assassinated, while in France on a diplomatic mission, by a Macedonian
terrorist connected with Croatian separatist groups, in 1934.
