They came to the Balkan Pen- insula from Asia in the time be- tween the 6th and 8th centuries, A.D.. intruded upon the sparsely settled countries without much resistance from the weak Roman gai-risons. and settled down. They came as far west as the valley of the River Oran-Corinthia today. They didn't form any great states -there was no obvious need for lt. The two Roman empires of

ihose times, the Eastern-with its seat at Constantinople and the West at Rome, were too weak to endanger them. '

So there developed three tribes. which lived differently according to the climatic and geographical circumstances of the land-they populated. The most western part -the Slovcncs of today-lived on mountainous and hilly land. and accordingly became a tough and poor people. The" Creates. lived mostly in the central plains-,-so they, became more easy-going (and richer). The Serbs again lived partly in hill country, but had some few extremely rich pla-ins along the Danube.

Subsequent History

In expanding into Southern Europe the Franks inflicted a ter- rible defeat upon the Slovenes from which it fuck them nearly 3. thousand years to recover. The Croates were lesser affected and the Serbs were saved by being farther to the East. when the I-lapsburz Monarchy was founded in the Middle Ages, again the Slovene: and Croates were over- run and became part oi the Em- pi-re, but the Serbs escaped and retained their independence until the Turks occupied the whole of Serbia in the 15th century. The- oniy part of the Yugoslav people who were never Sulbdllcd are the Mon-tenogrlns. a tiny kingdom in the Black Mountains.

Toward the end of the 19th cen- tury the Serbs regained their freedom with the help of Russia and in 1912 they felt so wrong that with the licl-p of Bulgaria, Montenegro and Romania they declared war onTiirkey and prac- tically drovc them out of Europe.

The First World War found Yugoslavia still split; the West- ern half was with the Austro- Hurigary Mon-a-rcliy and the East- ern independent of the alliance. The defeat of the Monarchy gave the Yugoslavs a chance to unite and they seized the opportunity. The first few years were not happy politically because the dif- ferent parties each had thcir own ideas on how to make everything right and each failed with the exception of ihc Communists; they did not fall because they never did get into power.

After the defeat of France in World War II, Germany put in- creasing pressure on the Yugo- slavs and in 1911 forced the Gov- ernment to sign a pact with Ger- many. Italy and Japan, but the garrison at Belgrade promDilY jailed the cntirc Yugoslav Gov- ernment. On the 6th of April the Germans retaliated by attacking and heavily bonibardin; Belgrade. causing m,000 deaths the first day. There was no possibility of holding out. The King and Gov- ernment left the country for Lon- don and Yugoslavia. was occupied again.

Stiff Resistance

Though all organized resistance was destroyed. the remnants of the armed forces lied and under the leadership or Mikhailovitch became so troublesome. that the Germans put a tremendous price upon his head. Still there was little action among the people because of the advice or the Gov- ernment over the BBC to hold on and wait awh-ilc.

It was not until Germany at- tacked Russia that the Partisans first showed up and were grad- ually accepted because oi their leadership. Not that the Yugo- slave wanted Communism. but they did waritaaction and that is what the Partisans offered. and the Mikhailovitch group gradual- ly lost its influence and became

I purely local Serbian movement. The end of the war found the partisans and their leader Tito in power. The people accepted I totalitarian governvment becnusc they wanted industrialization and such was impossible bccause it

was not a natural but artificial industrialization and could never come about under free enterprise. Russia did not approve. and although Tito was the represent- ative of Russia, he was not able to properly interpret the Yugo- alavs to Russia. without appear- ing to have failed. and the Com- inform had a way with men who failed. He therefore chose to rc- main with the Yugoslavs and defy Russia. The Comin-form at first failed to-recognize or be- lieve the ”break", in fact were so stunned that they failed to act and missed their opportunity to oust Tito. Then followed the dry years for Yugoslavia. Russia and her satel- lites broke off trade and up to

thcn there had been no trade with the West. On top of that it became vitally necessary to intro- duce a huge defence budget. but they did get aid from Britain and later from the United States as the West began to understand that Yugoslavia was a valuable ally which would defend ilaelf against any aggressor.

"The imost frequent question today." said Mr. Rozman. "is where will Yugoslavia stand in the event of war bctween Russia and the Western Democracies."

The answer requires 9. prophet. But this I know. If Tito makes an agreement with the West that is indicative of the will of the people, and I don't think Tito would dare

to enter an agree-

iment otherwise. then the Yugo-

slavs will abide by that agree- ment even if it means bad times."
