Who knows what the fate of Yugoslavia would be if, in any case, little known to the public, the plan of Josip Broz Tito would come true.
Some today remember Yugoslavia with nostalgia and think that life was much better then today and it was much safer, others believe that Yugoslavia was an artificially created one that had been gathering strength for decades to unite nations that could not be united.
But who knows what the fate of Yugoslavia would be if Tito's plan was realized, a plan that the public does not know.
Some historians believe that Tito wanted an even bigger, more powerful Yugoslavia that would not only be a regional power but also a world power and certainly one of the largest in Europe.
Historian Sabrina Ramer told the media last year that SFRY and Tito wanted to create an integral Yugoslavia that would include coastal areas around Yugoslavia: Greece, Albania, Bulgaria and the entire province of Gjurlija.
Among the conservatives of Yugoslav irredentism were the monarchists and the republicans in the time before the creation of Yugoslavia in 1918.
However, it is said that Zvevno's political movement in Bulgaria has sparked the idea of including Albania and Bulgaria in a common state with the Southern Slavs. Zvno's movement also participated in the 1934 Bulgarian coup. They demanded an alliance with France and the inclusion of Bulgaria in Yugoslavia. Even the British government during World War II supported the idea of creating a Greater Yugoslavia.
In World War II, Tito declared that Yugoslavia was entitled to Trieste and all of Korushka, including above all, Austrian Korushka.
"We liberated Kurushka, but international conditions were such that we had to leave temporarily. "Korushka is ours and we will fight for it," Tito said.
An interesting map has also emerged that predicts what the SFRY would look like if Tito's plans were realized, in two cases:
- Marshall's vision has included Albania and parts of Romania, Greece and Thessaloniki
- The Bled compromise between Tito and Dimitrov would include the integration of Bulgaria into the community of Yugoslav countries.
The author of the unusual map points out that in some "parallel universe" the communist revolution in Greece would at least partially succeed in securing some parts of the country and joining Yugoslavia.
