The Jugoslavs. The Jugoslav question constitutes an integral part of the formidable European problem which will have to be solved by the future peace. Even if she wished it, Great Britain could not withdraw her interest from the Jugoslavs. Every Serb soldier, every Croat orS lovene volunteer, who dies a heros death in defence of Serbia, sheds his blood not only for his own national cause, but also for that of Great Britain just as the splendid Tommy is not only fighting for the sacred soil of his own native land, but also for ours as well. We are all fighting for common aims, and we are all expecting our victory to bring forth a better future. Now, what is the Jugoslav question? A nd, first of all, who are the Jugoslavs, and what do they want? The Jugoslavs are theS outhern Slavs. Jug is the word forS outh in theS lav languages. In history the Jugoslavs appear under three names Croats, Serbs andS lovenes. But these are not three different nationalities. Sprung from the same origin, speaking the siame language, inhabiting a continuous territory, having identical customs and, above all, identical national aspirations, theS erbs, the Croats and theS lovenes are one single nation, designated by one common name the Jugoslav.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the part Yugoslavs will play in post-war Europe. The author was driven to write this book by the ethnic strife he saw in his home country. He begins by describing the history of the Slavic people and emphasizes the strength of their national identity and longing for unification, and then explores the hostile policies that Austria and Hungary used to suppress Yugoslav unity around the turn of the twentieth century. The author suggests that the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand was a welcome event for Austria and Germany because it provided them with a pretext for attacking Serbia and halting the growth of Yugoslav nationalism. He argues that this power grab illustrates the threat that Pan-Germanism poses to world peace. The author concludes by proposing that a restructuring of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is vital to preventing another world war and that the best way to accomplish this is to ensure the self-determination of the various ethnic groups under Austrian rule.
