The War led to over 100 000 individuals’ deaths, and its effects are still demonstrated today. The aftermath of World War II led to the unification of Bosnia, Croatia, Macedonia, Slovenia, Montenegro and Serbia into the People’s Republic of Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia was a communist nation that was led by Josip Broz Tito (Mirković 191). According to Damir Mirkovic, Tito held the states together and checked bot ethnic nationalism and separatism with strict jail sentences.
