built 237 days ago
The way of life in Yugoslavia was as varied as its ethnic composition, diverse histories and religions, and landscapes. The Slovenes and Croats especially were shaped by Roman Catholicism and centuries under Austrian, Hungarian, or Venetian rule. Most of the other ethnic groups, both Orthodox Christians and Muslims, had lived an equally long time under Byzantine and then Ottoman rule.
