What was Yugoslavia?

From the podcast History for Kids / History's Not Boring: The Kids History Podcast

·12:14
Did you know there was once a giant European country that just... disappeared? It didn’t sink into the ocean or float into space—it actually broke apart like a giant puzzle! Join Mira and Finn as they uncover the amazing, beautiful, and sometimes tricky story of Yugoslavia! For over seventy years, Yugoslavia was a massive country made of six different republics where people of many languages and religions lived side by side. You'll hear all about the epic 1984 Winter Olympics featuring a cute skiing wolf mascot, the hilariously terrible Yugo car, and dark underground caves filled with what people thought were real baby dragons! But what happens when the pieces of a puzzle stop fitting together? We’ll learn about the difficult times when the country split apart in the 1990s, and the incredibly inspiring true story of scuba divers and brave neighbors teaming up to rebuild a destroyed 400-year-old stone bridge! Grab your passport and get ready for a history adventure full of cascading waterfalls, freezing rivers, and the amazing power of peace!
