The foundations of the first Kingdom of Yugoslavia were laid with the union of the kingdoms of Serbia, Montenegro, and the South Slavic area consisting of the former Austro-Hungarian territories of Slovenia, Dalmatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Vojvodina, and Croatia-Slavonia. On December 1, 1918, the establishment of the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes was formerly declared. This union came on the heels of an uneasy decade in the Balkans in the wake of the collapse of Ottoman rule in 1912-13 and the defeat of Austria Hungary in the First World War.

Union of Various Groups
The union brought together various groups of peoples, each with its own idea of what government should look like. The kingdom was divided into provinces along the boundaries of the formerly independent kingdoms, and traditional rivalries between the different groups persisted. Monarchist and nationalist sentiments both ran strong. Several years of struggle over the structure of the state, in a disunited Kingdom resulted in the establishment of a centralized state under a unitary constitutional monarchy in 1922. In order to facilitate the centralization of power the kingdom was reorganized, divided into 33 administrative oblasts, or counties, which ignored traditional boundaries. Constitutionally, power was shared between the monarchy and the Skupština, or assembly, but ultimately the balance of power lay in the hands of the King.
The Kingdom of Yugoslavia
This system of government was relatively short-lived. Traditional rivalries and political divisions manifested in the form of a number of quarreling political parties. In 1929, King Alexander I took control of a disunited state, shutting down the assembly, declaring a royal dictatorship, and renaming the kingdom Yugoslavia. With the goal of a centralized and unified state, Alexander also redefined the kingdom's internal boundaries, replacing traditional regions with nine banates, or provinces.
Alexander's attempts at unification only further aggravated the alienation felt by non-Serbs in the kingdom, and tensions continued throughout his reign. Alexander was assassinated during a state visit to France in 1934, and with the crown passing to his eleven-year-old son Peter, a regency council took the reins. Years of continuing conflict over the structure of the state finally found a potential resolution in 1939 with the formation of the autonomous province Banovina of Croatia. The province was to have a degree of self-government while remaining a part of Yugoslavia. Plans for the new province were halted by the Second World War and the Axis occupation of Yugoslavia, beginning in April 1941, which effectively broke up the country.
A Socialist Yugoslavia
Following the liberation of the country in 1944-45 King Peter II, son of Alexander, was deposed, and Yugoslavia was recast as the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Developed in a model of Soviet Russia, the federation consisted of six republics: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, Croatia, Macedonia, Serbia, and Montenegro. Serbia was further divided into the two autonomous provinces of Vojvodina and Kosovo. In 1948, Yugoslavia broke from the Soviets, becoming an independent communist state. Under the new structure, power was centralized in the hands of Tito's Communist Party of Yugoslavia, distributed across three levels of government, the communes, the republics, and the federation.
On April 7, 1963, Tito was declared president for life of the newly renamed Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Under his government, ethnic tensions persisted. The Croatian Spring movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s called for greater autonomy and self-governance for Croatia. In 1974 the creation of two new autonomous provinces of Kosovo, and Vojvodina further aggravated tensions.
Breakup
Growing ethnic tensions, the redistribution of power from the centralized control of the federal government to the autonomous provinces following the death of Tito, the economic crisis of the 1970s, and the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe ultimately combined to contribute to the collapse of Socialist Yugoslavia. Slovenia and Croatia succeeded from the federation on June 25, 1991, followed closely by Macedonia on December 19. These successions began the Yugoslavian Civil War, which lasted from 1991-1999 as provinces fought for their independence.
With the breakup of Yugoslavia, Serbia and Montenegro joined together in a new federal republic under Slobodan Milošević, the 'third Yugoslavia.' Despite deteriorating relations between the states and a growing push for Montenegrin independence in 2002, the federation persisted. In 2003, a new agreement was reached allotting greater autonomy to each state and renaming the country Serbia and Montenegro, marking the end of Yugoslavia.

Ben Affleck is reflecting on his relationship with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
The 'Argo' star, 47, spoke to the New York Times, where he discussed what led to the decline of his 10-year marriage to Garner.
'People with compulsive behavior, and I am one, have this kind of basic discomfort all the time that they're trying to make go away,' Affleck told the outlet. 'You're trying to make yourself feel better with eating or drinking or sex or gambling or shopping or whatever. But that ends up making your life worse. Then you do more of it to make that discomfort go away. Then the real pain starts. It becomes a vicious cycle you can't break.'

He added: 'That's at least what happened to me.'

Affleck then admitted that he 'drank relatively normally' for most of his marriage, but in 2015 or 2016, as issues began to bubble up in the relationship, he began to drink more heavily, which 'created more marital problems.' Affleck, who has been to rehab several times, entered rehab again in 2018, which he spoke about in an Instagram post at the time.
In 2018, Affleck and Garner, also 47, divorced after a long separation.
'The biggest regret of my life is this divorce,' revealed Affleck, explaining that while he still feels guilt over the split, he's moved beyond the shame. 'Shame is really toxic. There is no positive byproduct of shame. It's just stewing in a toxic, hideous feeling of low self-worth and self-loathing.'
Despite feeling guilty about the ordeal, Affleck said that he tries not to dwell on the past.
'It's not particularly healthy for me to obsess over the failures — the relapses — and beat myself up,' said the Oscar winner. 'I have certainly made mistakes. I have certainly done things that I regret. But you've got to pick yourself up, learn from it, learn some more, try to move forward.'
In the interview, Affleck also dishes on his now-infamous back tattoo and why he initially lied about it being fake.
In 2015, a paparazzi photo captured Affleck with his ink, a colorful phoenix covering a large portion of his back, on full display.

However, in a 2016 interview with Extra, the actor claimed it was 'fake for a movie,' but it is, in fact, real.
Why Split Brain
'I resented that somebody got a picture of it by spying on me,' explained Affleck to the Times. 'It felt invasive. ... I could have said, ‘That's none of your business.' I guess I got a kick out of messing with ‘Extra.' Is your tattoo real or not real? Of course, it's real! No, I put a fake tattoo on my back and then hid it.'

The reflections come just before his latest film, 'The Way Back,' in which he stars as a high school basketball coach that faces struggles similar to Affleck such as alcoholism and marital strife.
