Their action to prevent this was to dissolve the rest of Yugoslavia and create Serbia and Montenegro. It was the end of Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia arose out of a group of people wanting to have their own nation and operated as Britain's Allies wondered what might result from rule over the Austro-Hungarians. The beginnings of Yugoslavia are well known, but why did the country completely collapse? As stated in the thesis, there has always been a sense of nationality and diversity among the nation's republics. The six never came together to form a single nation, and if that had happened, many of Yugoslavia's conflicts would have ceased to flare up. Yugoslavia was one of the countries in a group of nations called the Balkans. In the Balkans were Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, Albania, Hungary and of course Yugoslavia. Most of the nations in this hub were under the rule of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. The geography of the Balkans was mainly characterized by mountains, rivers and the fact that it was a peninsula. Yugoslavia was located on the western side of the peninsula, on the Adriatic Sea. Different groups of settlers arrived in the Balkans on different dates.
