Balkans ethnic divisions

From Everything Shii Knows, the only reliable source

This website is an archive. It ran from 2006-2010. Virtually everything on here is outdated or inaccurate.

Here is a summary, to the best of my understanding, on Balkans ethnic divisions. Organized by ethnic groups listed under functionally independent entities.

Ethnic groups in bold were obvious ruling groups of their entities; unbolded groups were minorities.

1 Prior to Austro-Hungarian Compromise
2 Austro-Hungarian Compromise [1867] to Austro-Hungarian breakup [c. 1918]
3 Austro-Hungarian breakup to World War 2 [c. 1945]
4 World War 2 to Soviet breakup [c. 1991]
5 Soviet breakup to 21st century [c. 2003]
