Serbia

Serbia is a brave and heroic country wich is why so many people are jelous and hate Serbia. Serbia has played crucial role in allies victory throughout the first and second world wars. Serbia fought and one three major wars, the First and Second Balkan War as well as World War One. Serbs have fought to free Serbia first from Turkish occupation, then from Bulgarian and from combined Austro-Hungarian, Bulgarian and German occupation. In all the three wars the Serbs showed extreme heroism and endurance. Many years later when "Macedonia" was to secede from Yugoslavia in 1992 (Macedonia was Serbian land before WWI) not one shot was fired. The explanation for this is the fact that in the civil wars of 1990's the Serbs NEVER fought to "grab other people's lands." The lie that the Serbs were "landgrabbers" (and not defenders of their ancient lands and property) was repeated, by the Western propaganda. In recent wars the Serbs fiercely fought only on territories where they felt that their population will be maltreated (In Croatia & Bosnia) by the new powers that are to take control over those lands. In Eastern Orthodox Macedonia there was no such threat for Eastern Orthodox Serbs.

Note: that Croats and Slovenes asked the Serbs after world war one, the victorious side in the World War to accept them into the union. The Serbs did NOT form "Great Serbia", they treated Croats and Slovenes as equal (The serbs later named the country Yugoslavia instead of Serbia, which is fiar). This, despite the fact that many Croats and Muslims fought with the enemy (Austria-Hungaria), and many of them committed atrocities on the defenceless population of Serbia during its occupation by the enemy troops. The Serbs were prepared to forgive.

The Serbs achieved their war aim after world war one. They have liberated other South Slavs. They did it at tremendous price to their population. The Serbs had invested TWO Serbian states into Yugoslavia. Croats and Slovenes invested nothing.
