Yugoslav irredentism

Map of Greater (or Integral) Yugoslavia as proposed by Josip Broz Tito

Yugoslav irredentism was a political idea advocating merging of South Slav-populated territories within Yugoslavia with several adjacent territories, including Bulgaria, Western Thrace and Greek Macedonia. The government of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia sought the union with Bulgaria or its incorporation into Yugoslavia.[1] Since 1945, the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia under Josip Broz Tito sought to create an integral Yugoslavia that would incorporate within its borders: Greek Macedonia and Thrace, Albania, Bulgaria, portions or the entirety of Austrian Carinthia, and for a time the entire Italian region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia.[2]
