Why didn't Romania balkanize while Yugoslavia did?

Maybe they spoke the same tongue, for the most part.

Romania - one religion
Yugoslavia - three.
>>
Most Romanians were the same religion, even Greek-Catholics were basically still Orthodox except a few elements
Less linguistically diverse, probably due to medieval migrations back and forth, nothing as distinct as Slovenian, Macedonian, or the Kajkavian/Chakavian/Shtokavian categories
More subjective, but despite similarities with south Slavs Romanians are more docile and less "edgy" towards other groups, except Jews.
>>
>>18659622
Because Romanians were more culturally united whereas Yugoslavs were more diverse.

>>18659622
The US and globohomo plan to fragment Yugoslavia began shortly after Tito died in 1980. It was platformed on conflict and schism. Mission Accomplished.

Meanwhile, Romania wasn't targeted until later, after the Sovs imploded. That plan was to take the country whole, as per standard globohomo methods.

>>18659653
I thought diversity was strength?

>>18659622
The globohomo doesn't fear romania, it feared the slavs.

The UN embargoed Yugoslavia. Not that anybody cared, least of all the CIA and the Germans, who pumped weapons into Croatia at will. Russia would never have sent weapons to Croat nazis, fyi.

Russia was one of the top 3 weapon importers into Croatia, they wouldn't have had an air force if not for Russia

Well, Slovenia was unter Germanic rule for over a millenium, while Croatia was part of Hungary, then Austria for many centuries. Wallachia and Moldavia, on the other hand, while vassalized by other empires for centuries, weren't completely annexed, so their cultures never drifted far apart.
The religious factor has already been mentioned - Romanian-speakers are overwhelmingly Eastern Orthodox everywhere, with even the Catholic minority still keeping the Eastern Rite.

Before the breakup, not the era being discussed.

I'm Slovene, not Serbocroatian, my native language is Slovene, not Serbocroatian. My native culture is Alpine Slovene culture, not Balkanic Serbocroatian culture. I am not a South European like Serbocroats, Italians, Macedonians and Romanians.

Lol, why do East Europeaniggers all have these enormous inferiority complexes where they have to pretend to be anything other than what they are?
(Poles are even more ridiculous about it, but this post is top cope)
>>
>>18659736
They’re right
>>
>>18660209
He's right, Slovenia is basically Austria

>>18660209
>East Europeaniggers
Slovenia is Western Europa

>>18659622
Romania DID get balkanized. Moldavia has no real reason to exist other than being a chunk of territory (Not even the whole province of Moldavia, just the eastern half) that the USSR annexed (because the Russian Empire previously annexed it from the principiality of Moldavia). It's only soviet era boomers who still claim to be a separate country from Romania.

transylvania was a hungarian state.

Nobody who is EE actually cares about ethnicity unless they have some sort of prominent brown feature. If in some way they could be misconstrued as asiatic or gypsy, however, then every possible ethnicity but their own in the region is some remnant of robust archaic hominids. It's a very simple hueristic and will help guide you through the endless Balkan grudge matches.

Croats were the first Yugoslavian Nationalists, who wanted to create a modern nation state, after they were inspired by German thought.
Serbs were oriental foreigners, who looked at Croatia and just annexed them to create a great Serbia and demanded Croats should just become Serbs like them.
Croats felt extremely betrayed by this and committed a justified genocide against Serbia to be free again, because they didn't want to live in an oppressive shithole, basically an Orthodox Christian Turkey, because their entire national pride comes from the fact that they held the Turks off from conquering them completely.

>>18659622
Romania didn't have tribes, the fact that they were the only romance speakers helped. Croats, serbs, bosniaks, slovenes, bulgars, etc all descend from different tribes, there isn't anything tying them together besides language. Serbia could never be the yugoslav piedmont because piedmontese and sicilians still viewed themselves as italians.

They out-nazied Hitler, yes.
