80 years later? Tito begged West German government to accept workers from Yugoslavia already in the 1960s. 20 years after the war.

@@nemanjaras Begging is the wrong word, it was a economic pact. Yugoslavs had work and Germany had workers in sectors where workers were missing

@@felsachat7931 And mind you, many were high quality engineers and technicians. Yugoslav engineers practically built Egypt, Libya, Iraq..

@@nemanjaras Yes, because Germany haveb`t payed for all damages in Yugoslavi during WW2.

I don't see why you call 'begging for labor'. They have economic pact, on a fair negotiation, within the jurisdiction of int'l law. The labors are paid and protected by the economic deal. They work in sectors where they got comparative advantage (cheaper wage) and got paid - simply supply and demand. They're not forced labor. The economic deals are the results of having sovereignty, results of successfully pushing the Germans out. I swear I don't know why people are this stupid to recognize the difference. I feel so bad when people use this narration to talk about Eastern European workers. They work hard and legitimately and still being called 'begging for jobs' by some lazy ass Westerners.

😂😂

LOL

Well, yes but mainly because chetniks couldn’t recive equipment and ammunition from communists because partisans did and they were not in the greatest relaitons with the allies (despite the yugoslav goverment being pro allied) so the didn’t recieve equipment from them either, because of this they were “collaborating” with the axis to keep their units supplied and well equiped and simply waited for allies to invade balkan. They would use that as a perfect time to revolt and aid allies in driving axis out of the balkans. Also Chetniks weren’t a single resistance group. They were different groups that were remanants of the Yugoslav army and some chetnik groups collaborated with the Axis, others were fighting against the axis, but the most famous and largest chetnik movement was one led bi Draža Mihajlović (as his name is spelled that way in my country) that was the only chetnik movement that was collaborating to keep itself alive while in the same time waiting for perfect opportuniti to revolt. I am croatian so I know something about this since it is related to our history in the 20th century.

You either die with Empire or long live to see yourself became that empire but even worse.

Except people didn’t kill each other under the Austro Hungarian empire but they did under Yugoslav rule.

Yugoslavia wasn't the only failed "Frankenstein monster" of a nation pieced together from random parts by the victors after WW1. Czechoslovakia was ruled over by Czechs, even though they were actually less than 50% of the population, which included Slovaks, Germans, Poles, Hungarians, and Ukrainians. Likewise, the newly formed Poland had large minorities of Germans, Ukrainians, Russians, and Lithuanians. None of these nations had secure borders that were respected and agreed to by their neighbors, and all included large segments of the population that hated being part of the country and wanted out. Ironically, when Germany took the ethnic German Sudentenland from Czechoslovakia in 1938, Poland availed itself of the opportunity to snatch an ethnic Polish area for itself, seemingly unaware that they would soon be next on Germany's list of victims.

You cant compare the ideology of the Cetniks and that of the Ustase. Ustase were brutal and held many concentration camps including those for Children. The Cetniks were for the Kingdom of Jugoslavia, for Freedom of Religion and Freedom in General. They were the legitimate army of Jugoslavia before the Terroism of the Communists came around. Ustase were Fasist Neo Nazis who slaughtered entire populations of other nationalities based on Nationality and Religious beliefs. They were Monsters.The Cetniks also had bad people in their rank, but their core ideology was not about destroying all other nationalities. In contrast it was about keeping them together.

Yugoslavia was the biggest mistake in the history of Europe. Why anyone believed such a state could possibly function is beyond me.

So he was a soldier with soldier skills, but unable to enact his vengeance on those who wronged him, and instead never left his village? The problem we still have to this day.

Many Partizani had done the same in Lika. Majority of them quickly fell for the partizans due to communist forces betraying cetnici. It was commonplace back then, and my own family had to join the cetnici as they were on a list of influential serbs to be killed by the communists when the war first started.

Because they used guerrilla tactics in environment where you have a lot of hiding places and would make hit and run style of warfare, while hiding in mountain regions. They would use propaganda machine to it's fullest and had their spyes in every city and village that would correspond whit their headquarters, so in regard to that even it there were any anti communist base among the civilian populus they could soner or later capture them and execute them. When it comes to captives from German army based in territory of former Independent State of Croatia or Croatian armed forces fighting for independence of their country any of the following surrendering to partisan guerrillas would get executed also. So in that regard like Stalin said " No person, No problem" they exterminated everything and there was no more opposition. Best regards. If you need reference to any real documented events from that era feel free to ask.

It's simple - we had no choice...:)

Mountains.

Partisans were a non factor before 1942, and even sympatized with new ustashe regime for a while. After the breakup of Ribbentrop-Molotov pact their attitude changes and they ran to woods. Their 'success' was conditioned by the fact that Italians were not cooperative with Ustashe due to Italian pretensions on Croatian territory. After predictable Italian capitulation partisans benefited from their logistics and armed themselves, plus the tyde of the war started to change, and Germans soon went into a full retreat mode, while at the same time allies started to support partisans as legitimate resistance movement. Their track record was pretty pathetic however, they had huge lossess, and often were heavily defeated even when they had nummerical superiority

@@kkkkkkkkkkkkkkjable That is only partially throu, because to properly understand the support they had at a beginning and later in war we have to understand the point of view of civilians. Looking from the point of view of local people present in Dalmatia they enjoyed their support at the beginning because of numerous executions and opression done by the italian troops in cordination whit chetniks in many cases, and German persecutions of local people ather the retreat of the Italian troops. Afther those events local civilians had mixed feelings considering Independent State of Croatia which in their eyes did not protect them from the persecutions from Germans operating in the region and Italian military present In the region before their retreat however afther the realisation that partisans will stop at nothing when it comes to winning including executions of large number of civilians that were not affiliated whit joining any side it was mostly a disarray of persecutions that caused a lot of smaller group of fighters called "green scene" ( mostly compromise d of civilians not bounding to any regime but simply trying to survive the war alongside many deserters) to start fighting and ultimately lossing. While if we take other parts like northern Croatia the Independent State Croatia had huge support based on the fact that people living in those regions had only fear of partisan guerrillas causing terrorist attacks in their city's which later on in war occurred alongside mass genocide of Croatian people and military personnel. Situation in modern day Bosnia and Hertsegovina past Independent State of Croatia was again different. Croatian Muslims and Christians living made a fierce resistance to partisans and in many situations fight to the death. It is important to note that afther the ultimate defeat of Croat forces in Bosnia for the first time in long history of brotherly relations between Muslims and Christians living there strong differences based on partisan propaganda had been established alongside burning of holy Mosques and Churches. To summerize it a bit what I wrote here is the sortest version missing a lot of crutial things yust so general public can try to understand mentality behind the conflict.

Tito was a self-obsessed jerk who wasted millions of taxpayers' money on advancing his personality cult. Also, he was a ruthless Stalinist immediately after the war (and during it, of course) and only backed out after Stalin started perceiving him as threat, he then needed to cozy up to the Americans. Despite not having to follow the Kremlin's botched economic policies, unlike Poland, Czechoslovakia or Hungary, he still drove the country to the ground and had to save the public funds by allowing hundreds of thousands of people to emigrate to Austria and West Germany just so they could send back remittances. And he died having done nothing in the way of securing a smooth transfer of power.

He moved a shit ton of Albanians to Kosovo which lead to further ethnic tension in the region which caused another war filled to the brim with warcrimes 5.5 He abused his wife and was a pedophile tho I wont count this one as a full point since it isn't related to leadership 6. His party was so full of oligarchs and red princes that when he finally died (good riddance) the shitstorm of a "government" he left behind started plundering each and every corner of what was left of Yugoslavia. Those oligarchs are also largely responsible for the Yugoslav wars. Their successors rule Serbia to this day (and until recently Montenegro) Oh yeah, did I mention that he was fighting for the enemy during WW1 and quite has possibly participated in some of numerous war crimes in Voivodina (including gangrape, mass murder stc.)

@@Devedesetdva I mean technically you're right. He's still just on an average when it comes to politicians in the Balkans, though.

@@groerhahn225 Yeah, in the context of Balkan politics he's doing alright

One of the best hiatorical comedies i watched

You should do some search on De Gaulle, Moulin, Aubrac, Brossolette, Tillon, Frenay, Malraux. Yeah the French Resistance was the most important. It prepared the D day in Normandy and the ones in Provence. It did a lot of spying activities.

the Brits really shown us in tha show how the "brave" French were fighting the war

Why you living in the past

@Red Obama in the base they collaborated because they've seen nazis and their extreme nationalism as opportunity to make their own countries greater than they are. croats wanted independent croatia thats includes parts of today's bosnia and herzegovina. while serbs wanted great serbia to tokyo across milwaukee. anyway both sides collaborated with nazis nazis just wanted yugoslavia out of the picture so they collaborated with both sides so that we kill each other. they suceeded.

@@spatrk6634 Chetniks first of werent a united group. Ustase wanted Greater Croatia that featured the entirety of modern day Bosnia and Herzegovina and parts of todays Serbia and Montenegro. They based their claim off of medival Kingdom of Croatia that had those borders for extremely short period of time. The most extreme Chetnik group was the one of Dimitrije Ljotic who wanted to do to Croats what Croats did to Serbs and he was just as bad as the Ustase. What Mihajlovic's Chetniks wanted(most of the Chetniks) was to recreate Serbia and to unite all the Serbs as self determination was quite popular at the time. You also make an absolute laughable statement that Croats were guided by self determination as Croats made up less than half of "Greater" Croatia while Serbs were actually the majority in their own "Greater" country(during WW2 that is). What would be equivalent to WW2 Ustase would be Serbs claiming Tzar Dusans Empire. Those people do exist, but noone takes them seriously. What the idea of last centuries Chetniks would be equivalent is the idea of Croatia getting west Herzegovina today. You struggle to understand WW2 Chetniks, who mostly werent fascists(barring Ljotic and his followers) and 90s "Chetniks"(who were lead by idiots like Karadzic and Milosevic who were horrible).

That is 0% truth. Not all chetniks were involved in Axis-Ustashe movement. Some chetniks fought until they ran out of supplies and died protecting their own. Partisans were made out of "Opeartion Barbadossa" and Soviets were supplying Tito for being communist. So that is not true and Mihailovic chetniks were not traitors and kept killing Axis and Ustase. But without supplies Chetniks could not stand against Partisans Ustase and Axis killing them. Research more.
