[edit] Dates

It seems to me that the date given - April 1941, is rather POV. The Allies continued to recognize the royal government after the German invasion, and I believe that officially the Kingdom lasts until Tito abolishes it in December 1945. I'm going to change it. john k 17:04, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

You are right but then so are your dates. Maybe it should say that it ended defacto in 41 and dejure in 45.Dejvid 19:36, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Reversal?

Why is the order of the nations reversed from the state? 203.218.88.120 14:13, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Because numerality was decided to be the crucial definition: first Serbs, then Croats and finally Slovenes; the state simply named the nations without any order of definition. --HolyRomanEmperor 22:09, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Huh? john k 06:08, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

• Serbs - 44,57%
• Croats - 23,5 %
• Slovenes - 8,51%

From the most numerious to the least. --HolyRomanEmperor 14:05, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Parliamentary Community

From Early Politics, paragraph 3, third last line: "As the opposition continued their boycott the government decided it had no alternative but to rule by decree. This was denounced by the opposition who began to style themselves as the Pa[r]liamentary Community. " as of 29th June, 2006.

What is this? Does this mean the opposition maintained that only they were true supporters of parliamentary system?--User:Fitzwilliam 08:40, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Origin of "Yugoslavia"

I am curious as to when the word "Yugoslavia" began to be used to refer to the kingdom. The article states when the name was officially changed, but the name "Yugoslavia" was used at least sometimes on an unofficial basis before then (for instance, the kingdom is referred to as Yugoslavia in the reports of the 1924 and 1928 Olympic Games). Was the term used since the creation of the kingdom? -- Jonel | Speak 12:22, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Officially since 1929, but the name "Yugoslavia" was common, even before its creation in 1918 ("Pan-Yugoslavism", everyone expecting establishing a "Yugoslav unified state"). --PaxEquilibrium 17:15, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Split?

In the Yug-timeline template at the bottom of this article, it has Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (1918-1929) and Kingdom of Yugoslavia (1929-1945) separately, while this article deals with both together. Wouldn't it make sense to create a separate article for the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes? - 52 Pickup 15:47, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
