Slovenia was newer truly a part of the Balkans
Not if you live near Jesenice

jokes aside, politically and mentally Slovenia was more a part of central Europe than the balkans. We were a part of Yugoslavia because the slovenian nation was under the italians and austrians and we were always pretty much the undedog for them, peons if I may say so. But the world was still ruled then by imperialist nations and complete independence was imposible. The country of SHS, predecesor of Yugoslavia was a joint venture with the croats and serbians. But culturaly there were great differences, and still are.

And yes, our war was NOT a civil war. It was an independence war. One faction fought the rulling faction for independence. The bosnian war was a civil war, two factions were fighting eachother in one country for control, influenced by outside powers.

You want to be very careful bringing Neals morals into question....you have been cut a considerable amount of slack in recent times.

This is the second time that I am aware of in which you have accused members of this community of being racist.

So the American civil war was not a civil war either as it was states that declared they were leaving the federal state.

If the confederates won it would have been know as the war of independence.
It's a point of view, if Yugoslavia managed to supress Slovenia then it would have been known as a civil war
