Summary/Abstract: The time from the unification of the country to the end of 1920 represents a period, a stage of the latest history of the Yugoslav peoples. New power organs were established and stabilized in that period, uniform political and other organizations were formed for the whole country, and the revolutionizing of the progressive forces had its culmination. Uniform political organizations of the working class were also founded: The Communist Party of Yugoslavia and the United revolutionary Trade Unions. At the same time the period from April 1919 to the end of December 1920 is the time of legal activities of those organizations, and that is one of the reasons that this period is taken as a separate unit in the division of the history of Yugoslavia into periods. The majority of the Yugoslav proletariat, animated by the unification of the country and influenced by the revolutionary movements in Europe and in the world, in the very first days of establishing of the United Trade Unions and of political party of the working class, joined the former or the latter, so that those organizations had permanent success both as regards the number of the members and even more as regards the economic state owing to the successful strikes and tariff actions.
