  1. Regardless if it did, the wars in this area were certainly a drain on other fronts.

  2. Caveat to Yugoslavia: It's the state that formed when Serbia got way more than they asked for in WWI with the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Croats were largely the children of people that had fought the Serbs in that war and were almost a big a state as Serbia.

  3.  @robrob9050  did you just deny the existence of historic antisemitism across all Europe?

  5.  @boskodelic8907  Oh, so they meant to annex Slovenia? Serbia's goal was all the turfs that had either been formally part of Serbia or where ethnic Serbs lived.

  7. They anticipated a 1-month campaign and minimal occupation burden. They got an 11-day campaign with geurrilla wars that produced bodies just as fast as the campaign.

  10. @Rob Rob  dude, it's WWII Europe. Anti-Semitism is a matter of degrees. While I haven't heard of any major pogroms there, it's not plausible this junk didn't exist in A FORMER OTTOMAN PROVINCE. Let me do the fact checking... The Ottomans arbitrarily deported several Jewish neighborhoods in the 19th century. Upon independence, Jews faced discriminatory taxes and restrictions on where they could live. See? Not the worst in Europe, but it was there.

  11. @Boško Delić  Russia gave Constantinople annexation as a war aim, and you mean to tell me that inferred potential annexations should be treated the same as defined casus belli?

  12.  @cakaekv  All the war aims contradicted each other, and you can cherry pick all you like but you'll notice what ended up happening did not adhere to any of them

  17. @Riftrender  even so, propaganda and rhetoric does nothing for no one and doesn’t count as "backing." Backing coups is what the US did in the Barbary Wars when they lent US marines to one sultan in order to oust another sultan who was sponsoring piracy.

  22. Hitler grew up in Austria during a time when Serbia was Austria's enemy #1. Of course he was personally hostile.
