A large proportion of information (books,articles) concerning the former Yugoslavia reminded me of the Yugoslavian encyclopaedias of the 1970s. The encyclopaedias were written in the same style as the '''Soviet Encyclopedia'''. They were used as a propaganda weapon to show the superiority of Titoism and the Socialist Yugoslavia to other societies and political systems. Additionally Slavicization of non Slavic regions in Yugoslavia was continued as government policy under the Communist Party of Yugoslavia after [[World War Two]]. The regime removed ethnic populations (Germans, Italians & Hungarians). This information can be sourced from reliable scholars.
A large proportion of information (books,articles) concerning the former Yugoslavia reminded me of the Yugoslavian encyclopaedias of the 1970s. The encyclopaedias were written in the same style as the '''Great Soviet Encyclopedia'''. William Benton, (publisher of the Encyclopedia Britannica), stated that: ''"about the second edition of the encyclopedia that the encyclopedia had a political bias and claimed that its purpose was a propaganda weapon"''. The Yugoslavian encyclopaedias were also used as a propaganda weapon to show the superiority of Titoism and the Socialist Yugoslavia to other societies and political systems.
Additionally Slavicization of non Slavic regions in Yugoslavia was continued as government policy under the Communist Party of Yugoslavia after [[World War Two]]. The regime removed ethnic populations (Germans, Italians & Hungarians). This information can be sourced from reliable scholars.
Information was and still is being presented to the world, an historical perspective of former communist Yugoslavia that was written by a Totalitarian political system. Now thanks to the Internet, this pseudo historical perspective that once was only know to Tito's Yugoslavia, has gone World Wide. This is truly disturbing because the former communist Yugoslavia encompassed peoples descendant of the Roman Empire, Republic of Venice, Croatia, [[Slovenia]], Serbia, Bosnia and so and so forth.
