About Yugoslavia
For earlier issues, see Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes. On 29 October 1918, at the end of World War I, Slovenes, Croats, and Serbs residing in what were the southernmost parts of the Austro-Hungarian Empire proclaimed themselves the State of Slovenes, Croats, and Serbs. The Serbs referenced in the name where those resident in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia-Slavonia, Dalmatia, and Syrmia, although the new national council aspired to create an even larger Pan-Slavic state. On 1 December 1918, Prince Regent Aleksandar Karadjordjevic of the Kingdom of Serbia proclaimed its unification with the State to form the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, and assumed the title King Alexander I. On 6 January 1929, in an effort to combat local nationalism, King Alexander I of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes proclaimed a royal dictatorship under the new name of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. He was determined that Serbian, Croatian, or Slovene nationalism would be replaced by a wider loyalty, Yugoslav (“South Slav”) patriotism.
