    If there is ever a movie about him I hope he is played by Ralph Fiennes. The two are practically twins!

    He didn't live long to see the balkanization of Yugoslavia.

    King Peter had a sad life. He was brought back to Serbia where he rests in peace alongside his family.

    Shame he wasn't as great as his dad. He should've went back to Serbia and served his nation.
    His father would've been ashamed.

      He came back, but was exiled by Tito, and Tito threatened to execute him if he ever came back. Only after the fall of communism and breakup of Yugoslavia was his family allowed to come back.

      He was literally kicked out at a very young age. He couldn't do much about it.

    Oh, come on now! This guy is calling Tito "the Dictator". But hey, at least he didn't ran away as a chicken when Hitler and Moussolini attacked your country. It was your responsability to defend your land, not Tito's. Tito heroically fought the evil, while you were sipping tea in a cozy corner, all having great time in a safe country.
    About Tito's era - 50 years of peace, my friend. That's a record-breaker in the Balkans! No wars, nada. Meanwhile, under your royal rule, what did we get? Let's just say it was a bit more... chaotic, with a couple of bloody World Wars right in our yard.
    So before you criticize Tito, maybe check your own history books. Dictator or not, the man brought peace, prosperity and a whole lot more to the table.

      Oh yes the standard regurgitation of Tito’s 50 years of bliss, I’m sure it was for some, it just wasn’t for the Serbs, maybe you should read up on that. 🇷🇸❤️🇷🇸

      Tito is a communist dictator with nothing of value left behind. We can only thank the global fear of nuclear weapons for the peace during the Cold War in Europe. In the end, democracy and human rights won in Europe, which was the ideal of King Peter. Nazism and communism are totalitarian societies and have no justification as for your idol Tito

      I was giving a comparation of the time between the Royal Yugoslavia and Tito's Yugoslavia. While Tito's Yugoslavia might not be that perfect, but it was much better than Royal Yugoslavia and Milosevic Yugoslavia.

      @@DenH-hq4dd No democracy, secret police, murder of political opponents and repression, creating a constitution and laws by himself. This is what a dictator does.
      The king was 17 when the war started, it wasn't even a decision he could legally make to stay. Yugoslavia would have fallen even if he stayed, but this time Germany would've had a puppet king to legitimize their dominion of what's left of Yugoslavia. Him creating a government in exile gave legitimacy for the resistance. Yugoslavia fell in like a weak because of an underequiped army and because Croats welcomed the Germans as liberators, making a third of the country basically useless from the start of the war. After the death of king Alexander of Yugoslavia, Peter's father, Yugoslavia was starting to improve, with the restoration of democracy and federalization of the country, as well as improved economic stability. Meanwhile, socialist Yugoslavia was riding the IMF loan wave, which came back to bite them, resulting in a horrible inflation and insane unemployment rates, due to the abuse of the workplace democracy system. Tito thought that capitalism would fail, so he kept taking out IMF loans and used those funds to artificially inflate the standard of living, as the loans were used to pay for the social spending and subsidize worker wages. The foreign capital of the West and the East was used for this purpose as well. But the moment the foreign capital stopped pouring in, the economy crashed and the currency became worthless. All because of one man: Tito. He even created a constitution which further decentralized Yugoslavia, made the president of Yugoslavia useless, gave more power to socialist republics, which resulted in them acting more independent, refusing to aid each other in the economic crisis (Slovenia and Croatia refused to give aid to Montenegro and Macedonia, opting to instead save themselves). All of this was made possible by your beloved dictator, who basically lived like and acted like a king, but was giving a spiel about brotherhood, unity, power of the workers. In the end, the only winner in Yugoslavia was Tito, while everone else suffered because of his terrible statecraft and economic decisions. If a country relies on one person to be stable, then it's a failure of a country to begin with. And the person who created such a country was a failure himself - Tito. Sure, people of Yugoslavia lived a few decades in bliss and decadence. But that's what happens when you are short-sighted and rely on a failure of an ideology and economic system.

    You can hear his alcoholism here. He wouldn't live past 1970.

    nikako se ne slažem sa onim, što ste rekli o komunizmu. Teta Zofija je prokockala četverosobni stan na Knez Mihajlovi.
