Bosna u Kraljevini Jugoslaviji
BOSNIA IN KINGDOM OF YUGOSLAVIA

Summary/Abstract: The defeat of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy in the First World War marks the formation of a new state in the Balkans, made up of South Slavic peoples. On October 29, 1918, The State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs was formed. In the forthcoming period, the struggle for international recognition and negotiations with the Kingdom of Serbia and Montenegro for a possible unification took place. On 1 December 1918, Serbian regent Alexander Karadjordjevic declared the unification and formation of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. The state was renamed in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1929 and as such existed until Hitler's attack on April 06, 1941, and capitulation 12 days later. In addition to Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia has included: Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia. In this country, Bosnia was in a subordinate position with an emphasis on apparent Serb hegemony. The most important events that concern Bosnia during this period were: Drawing Of the Vidovdan Constitution in 1921, the Dictatorship which King Aleksandar Karađorđević proclaimed in 1929 with the abolition of the Constitution and dissolution of the Assembly, the division of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia into nine regions, the adoption of the Forced Constitution on September 3, 1931, and the Cvetković-Maček Agreement of August 26, 1939 which envisaged division of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
