If this is a homework question, I hope it is worded differently to the question you've asked. First, both Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia existed as nations before WW2, with much the same boundaries as after that war - in fact, both came into existence just after WW1, with the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian empire. Second, the phrase "Allied forces" usually refers to the Western allies (UK, US etc), whereas both Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia were liberated from Nazi occupation by the Soviet army, and then came within the Eastern bloc until the end of the Cold War - though Yugoslavia, led by Tito, broke away from the Soviet Union at an early stage. |

Further to geof-ga's point Much of that area was administered by the Turkish Empire who took over Constantinople around 1400 The Turks were pretty keen on ensuring that people were Moslem, as a result some converted and some did not, but those in the same geographical area were really the same people regardless of 'religion' or what they called themselves. Sure, on the borders, like Kosovo and Montenegro, you get Albanians, but that is just on the border. What actually happened post WWI was that large empires were carved up into smaller states, which persisted until recently, when they started breaking into even smaller states. With very few exceptions, there are not many cases 'of forcing certain populations to live too near each other' The populations are just there, occasionally there are inappropriate boundaries, Africa was carved up peculiarly, without much regard to tribes, but that was inevitable. Look at racial classification in Rwanda - the Tutsis and the Hutus were separated as 'races' when issued ID cards. http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/africa/jan-june99/hutus_tutsis.html It would probably be better to look at areas where the 'tectonic plates' of populations rub against each other - the Balkans is a classic, Turk, Teuton and Slav - Turkey and Armenia is an unpleasant example - The Northern Alliance in Italy is interesting Another is Sudan, yet another (possibly) Cyprus There are instances of 'transplantation', the best ones look like immigration in say the UK and Russian colonies in the former USSR - yet again, all was largely voluntary Go for the 'tectonic plates' angle - if not that, then enforced migration |
