Summary/Abstract: At the start of WWI, Serbia legitimized its participation in the war through an anti-imperialist South Slavic pan-nationalism, by opposing the unison of Serbs, Croats and Slovenians within the Hapsburg Empire. Yugoslavia was founded in 1918 and in the interbellum period, European pan-nationalism was strengthened. However, after 1945, the process of European integration did not result in a grand political, economic and military entity with pan-nationalist legitimacy, but the formation of an imperial constellation under the hegemony of the United State of America. After the year 2000, Germany has stri ved to become the imperial headquarters of Europe. In such a Europe, a hundred years after 1914, it is undesirable to celebrate Serbia’s anti-imperialist South Slavic pan-nationalism tendencies from WWI.
