MONTENEGRO | How Did It Win Back Independence?

In June 2006, after almost 90 years, Montenegro split from neighbouring Serbia and regained its independence. However, few know the extraordinary story of what happened to the country in between. In this video, I explore Montenegro's journey from an independent kingdom to an independent sovereign republic through five different countries - including several different variants of Yugoslavia.

Montenegro is one of the smallest countries in Europe, and yet it has a truly fascinating history. Indeed, as I argue in this video, I am not aware of any other country that has undergone such a wide range of transformations over the course of the past century - if not over the entire history of its existence. This is a story of how this tiny, mountainous South East European state, a former part of Yugoslavia, went from being principality to becoming a kingdom and eventually achieving independence again as a sovereign state when, in 2006, it became the 192nd member of the United Nations.

By the way, one quick clarification: although the country declared independence as the 'Republic of Montenegro', since 2007 it has been formally and simply known as 'Montenegro'.
