Yugoslavia
(
Serbo-Croatian
,
Macedonian
,
Slovene
:
Jugoslavija
, Југославија) was a country in
Southeast Europe
during most of the 20th century. It came into existence after
World War I
in 1918 under the name of the
Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes
by the merger of the provisional
State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs
(itself formed from territories of the former
Austro-Hungarian Empire
) with the formerly independent
Kingdom of Serbia
. The Serbian royal
House of Karađorđević
became the Yugoslav royal dynasty. Yugoslavia gained international recognition on 13 July 1922 at the
Conference of Ambassadors
in Paris. The country was named after the
South Slavic peoples
and constituted their first union, following centuries in which the territories had been part of the
Ottoman Empire
and
Austria-Hungary
.
