Features: When it comes to the Balkans, people immediately associate them with the well-known term "powder keg" of Europe. If we delve deeper into the Balkans—the "powder keg" of Europe—we will undoubtedly discover that Yugoslavia is the core of this "powder keg." Looking back at the 20th century just ended, the first world-scale war of the century began here at the turn of the century. During World War II, brutal warfare and ethnic killings also occurred here. The smoke of the first large-scale hot war in Europe after the Cold War—Bosnia and Herzegovina War—has not yet dissipated, and the Kosovo War at the end of the century has become a focal point of global attention. All of this is intricately linked to the complex ethnic issues of Yugoslavia. This article conducts a comprehensive and systematic interdisciplinary study of Yugoslavia's ethnic issues.
