Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia

The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY)  was the Yugoslav country that existed from 1945 to 1992. It was a socialist state. It was also a federation made up of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia. 

Josip Broz Tito ruled Yugoslavia until 1980. He died at that time. In June 1991 Slovenia and Croatia declared independence, and the Yugoslav Wars began. By 1992 only Serbia and Montenegro still wanted a union. They made a new country called the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Leaders around the world didn't agree it was the same as the old Yugoslavia. Montenegro left in 2005.
