The Kingdom of Yugoslavia (Serbo-Croatian: Краљевина Југославија / Kraljevina

Jugoslavija;[4] Slovene: Kraljevina Jugoslavija) was a state in Southeast


Europe and Central Europe that existed from 1918 until 1941, during the interwar
period and beginning of World War II. From 1918 to 1929, it was officially called
the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (Serbo-Croatian: Краљевина Срба,
Хрвата и Словенаца / Kraljevina Srba, Hrvata i Slovenaca; Slovene: Kraljevina Srbov,
Hrvatov in Slovencev), but the term "Yugoslavia" (literally "Land of Southern Slavs") was
its colloquial name since its origins.[5] The official name of the state was changed to
"Kingdom of Yugoslavia" by King Alexander I on 3 October 1929.[5]
The preliminary kingdom was formed in 1918 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 Kingdom of
Montenegro had united with Serbia five days previously, whereas the regions
of Kosovo, Vojvodina, Vardar Macedonia and most of Bosnia were parts of Serbia prior
to the unification.
The state was ruled by the Serb dynasty of Karađorđević, which previously ruled
the Kingdom of Serbia under Peter I from 1903 (after the May Overthrow) onward. Peter
I became the first king of Yugoslavia until his death in 1921. He was succeeded by his
son Alexander I, who had been regent for his father. He was known as "Alexander the
Unifier" and he renamed the kingdom "Yugoslavia" in 1929. He was assassinated
in Marseille by Vlado Chernozemski, a member of the Internal Macedonian
Revolutionary Organization(IMRO), during his visit to France in 1934. The crown passed
to his then-still under-aged son Peter. Alexander's cousin Paul ruled as Prince
regent until 1941, when Peter II came of age.[6] The royal family flew to London the same
year, prior to the country being invaded by the Axis powers.
In April 1941, the country was occupied and partitioned by the Axis powers. A
royal government-in-exile, recognized by the United Kingdom and, later, by all the Allies,
was established in London. In 1944, after pressure from the British Prime
Minister Winston Churchill, the King recognized the government of Democratic Federal
Yugoslavia as the legitimate government. This was established on 2 November following
the signing of the Treaty of Vis by Ivan Šubašić (on behalf of the Kingdom) and Josip
Broz Tito (on behalf of the Yugoslav Partisans).[7]
