      abstract = {During World War II, Yugoslavia was divided between the  Axis powers and their allies. Royal army soldiers, calling  themselves Cetnici (Chetniks), formed a Serbian resistance  movement, but a more determined communist resistance under  the Partisans, with Soviet and Anglo-American help,  liberated all of Yugoslavia by 1944. In an effort to avoid  Serbian domination during the post-war years, Bosnia and  Herzegovina, Macedonia, and Montenegro were given separate  and equal republican status within the new socialist  federation of Yugoslavia; Kosovo and Vojvodina were made  autonomous provinces within Yugoslavia. Despite the  attempts at a federal system of government for Yugoslavia,  Serbia played the leading role in Yugoslavia's political  life for the next 4 decades. Yugoslavia remained  independent of the U.S.S.R., as Tito broke with Stalin and  asserted Yugoslav independence. Tito went on to control  Yugoslavia for 35 years. Under communist rule, Yugoslavia  was transformed from an agrarian to an industrial society.},
