@Tomobe03: I am totally unfamiliar with the history of the founding of Yugoslavia, so I'm struggling to understand the events described in this article. It is difficult for me to assess the article for B class, if I am confused about exactly what was going on. After reading this article, it seemed as if the Geneva Declaration was agreed upon by its participants and given a blessing by the French government. However, shortly afterward the agreement was rejected by the Serbian government and its diplomats. Exploiting the advance of the Italian Army and the chaos at the end of World War I, the Serbs pressured the diplomats representing the other groups (Croats, Slovenes, Bosnians, etc.) to agree to unification without resolving exactly how this was to occur. Is my interpretation correct? Perhaps my confusion would be cleared up if there was a brief explanation of what happened next. Did the Serbian monarchy become the dominant power? Were the other parties unhappy with the new arrangement? Did this have anything to do with the rapid collapse of Yugoslavia in the face of Nazi invasion in 1941? Thanks.
