I’m writing a piece for a school project on the reasons behind the collapse of Yugoslavia and I understand part of it was due to the ethnic tensions in the region but I’m struggling to find any sources on where the hatred for different ethnicities came from, especially since the idea was to have a state for the southern Slavs to protect themselves from anyone threatening their language, culture, etc.
I’m currently looking at the Ustase and the independent state of Croatia and the crimes they committed against the Serbs. What was the root cause of their ideology, was there any reason in particular why they wanted a “pure” Croatia?
If anyone knows any good sources or books, just anything on the topic that’d be awesome.
