The decline of Communism led to the return of an old danger - Nationalism. Throughout the communist bloc, many people were not satisfied with democracy; they wanted their own independent nation too.

In former USSR, fighting broke out as a number of areas tried to win independence.

Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania all became independent again in 1991 and joined the United Nations (After spending many years absorbed into the USSR).

On Jan 1st, 1993, Czechoslovakia peacefully split to become two separate states of the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

However, the worst violence occurred in Yugoslavia. Tito had held together an explosive mixture of Serbs, Croats and Muslims but communist control collapsed in 1990. In the following year, the Serbs refused to accept a Croat as leader and both Slovenia and Croatia declared independence.
