If we are talking specifically about the Balkans then I suggest you read up on the individual ethnicities and their struggles in that region. Their civil war would not happen with the Soviet Union around but once it all fell apart nobody cared if they slaughtered each other. Start here and also about the fateful football match between Dinamo Zagreb and Red Star Belgrade.
That all happened after the communist regimes fell, they were given freedom and decided that Civil War was their best option, that is their problem.
I see.. they all had a meeting and "decided".. Just like in Venezuela.
Brilliant logic!
