My answer why:  because the destruction of independent Yugoslavia was 
the last action in a protracted civil war in Europe, that began with 
the division of the Socialist Parties over the issues of the First 
World War, and ended (for the time being) with the victory of those 
who inherited the tradition of the pro-war credits fraction.

This is why.
