The '''History of the Balkan states''' is a complex affair.  Since the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the former Yugoslavia, evidence has emerged that portrays the Communist Party of Yugoslavia and its leader Josip Broz Tito in a totally different light.

The notorious Bleiburg, Way of the Cross <ref>[http://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=27516&lang=en Hrcak Portal of Scientific Journals of Croatia] by Mr Dizdar's ''Scientific Journal'' - An Addition to the Research of the Problem of Bleiburg & Way of the Cross</ref> and Foibe massacres <ref>[http://miran.pecenik.com/ts/balkan/balkan6.htm Where The Balkans Begin (The Slovenes in Triest-The Foiba Story)] by Bernard Meares</ref> were two of these [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleiburg_massacre] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foibe_massacres].  

The notorious Bleiburg, Way of the Cross <ref>[http://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=27516&lang=en Hrcak Portal of Scientific Journals of Croatia] by Mr Dizdar's ''Scientific Journal'' - An Addition to the Research of the Problem of Bleiburg & Way of the Cross. This paper dedicated to the 60th anniversary of these tragic events represents a small step towards the elaboration of known data and brings a list of yet unknown and unpublished original documents, mostly belonging to the Yugoslavian Military and Political Government 1945-1947. Amongst those documents are those mostly relating to Croatian territory although a majority of concentration camps and execution sites were outside of Croatia, in other parts of Yugoslavia. The author hopes that the readers will receive a complete picture about events related to Bleiburg and the Way of The Cross and the suffering of numerous Croats, which is confirmed directly in many documents and is related to the execution of a person or a whole group of people and sometimes non-stop for days.</ref> and Foibe massacres <ref>[http://miran.pecenik.com/ts/balkan/balkan6.htm Where The Balkans Begin (The Slovenes in Triest-The Foiba Story)] by Bernard Meares</ref> were three of these [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleiburg_massacre] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foibe_massacres].

In Mr Dizdar's ''Scientific Journal'' he stated that Tito asked the "Croatian Home Guard" to surrender or face the consequences of not surrendering. After the war ended POWs who did not surrender were slaughter on mass, estimates are about 100 000 victims in total.

The articles that appear in Wikipedia (as of 2009) do not reflect this modern view of the former Yugoslavia.  They still adhere to and reflect the propaganda of the former '''Communist Party of Yugoslavia''' [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_Party_of_Yugoslavia].

The article about the Dictator Josip Broz Tito is written in a child-like manner, similar to a Yugoslav primary school textbook from the 1970s. From the late 1960’s to the 1970’s, economic decisions that were made by Josip Broz and the Communist Party of Yugoslavia, put the country in a disastrous political situation (none of this is mentioned). Ironically the article on Tito does not even mention the fact that he was a Dictator [http://newsnbuzz.com/world/inside-titos-luxury-playground.html] or his Cult of Personality [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_of_personality] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUZx70JDseU&feature=related]  [http://books.google.it/books?id=TjOsyebOTS8C&pg=PA152&dq=yugoslavia+tito+cult&lr=&as_brr=3#v=onepage&q=yugoslavia%20tito%20cult&f=false]. None of this information is presented in a professional encyclopedic fashion and when qualified references are presented to prove otherwise, Wikipedia Admin meets it with silence.

Since the early 90’s information concerning historical events surrounding Croatia are turning out to be similar to the history of the Soviet Union (massacres, ethnic cleansing, power struggles, political propaganda for cover ups of the truth). They are a sharp contrast to what the public of the West was feed (media wise) and taught during the Cold War. There is very little mention of Tito's notorious KGB [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KGB] police style organizations UDBA [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2v4118TV8c]  [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UDBA ] & OZNA [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OZNA].

'''Mass killings without court trials''':  

''The killings without a trial were most massive in the first months after the war in 1945 and continued until the beginning of 1946. How extensive these killings were is illustrated by the fact that 581 hidden graves of victims of post-war killings without a court trial have thus far been found in the territory of Slovenia.''

:"''Frank Waddams, a British representative who had lived outside of Belgrade, said he knew first hand of ten “concentration camps” and had talked with inmates from nearly all of them. “ The tale is always the same, he said “ Starvation, overcrowding, brutality and death condition, which make Dachau and Buchenwald mild by comparison. Many Slovenes who were released from Dachau at the end of the war came home only to find themselves in a Slovene camp within a few days. It is from these people that the news has come that the camps are worse than Dachau.” Out of a Slovene population of 1,200,000, Waddams believes that 20,000 to 30,000 were imprisoned."''
