Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia

The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was the Yugoslav state that existed from the end of World War II (1945) until it was formally dissolved in 1992 (de facto dissolved in 1991 with no leaders representing it) amid the Yugoslav wars. It was a Communist state that comprised the area of the present-day independent states of Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia and the self-declared, partially recognised Kosovo. In 1992, the two remaining states still committed to a union, Serbia & Montenegro, formed the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, which had not been recognized as the successor of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia by international leaders.
