Aleksandar is one of the worst Serbian leaders in history, he shouldn’t have been king.

King Alexander basically made enemies everywhere he went. No surprise he was put down.

Yugoslavia should never have been attempted and the Serbian army should have let the Croatian lands go to anarchy as was the case after WWI. I know hindsight is 20/20, but it would have been much better had Serbia just kept its wins from WWI and absorbed the other Serbian regions into Serbia. This “union” thing was a mess from the start.
