Abstract
Nationalist wars in post-Communist Yugoslavia republics are more than they seem to be at first glance. Rather than analyzing nationalism as a wholly autonomous force in the conflicts, it must be considered within the context of the decades-long battle of communists to achieve state power before and during World War II, and then to hold onto power thereafter. Communists strategically used nationalism to achieve their goals and to battle against the power of their "traditional nationalist" opponents. In this paper I will briefly consider the tension and alliance between Marxist and nationalist claims historically in Europe before turning to the 20th century case posed by Yugoslavia and its post-Communist republics.
