Description:

  • In 1941, Southeast Europe was facing a global war, which was already being fought in Europe and a part of Southeast Europe. Greece and Albania have already experienced war, Yugoslavia was on the brink of war and facing great challenges. Various negotiations on the reorganization of Yugoslavia lasted for a long time (ended in 1939 with the Cvetković-Maček’s Agreement), and then Yugoslavia faced German pressure. The negotiations between Germany and Yugoslavia went through various stages, they had certain dynamics, and there were different offers on the table. Did these negotiations lead to peace or war?
