The general school of thought is that the Mongol empire broke up due to the death of the last of the Khan's. Others believe it was simply because the feuding had gone on for too many years.
The United States originally pursued a policy of isolationism, avoiding conflict while trying to broker a peace, when World War I broke out. That changed when they learned of the Zimmerman Telegraph.

Essentially, it was an ethnic and religious conflict that occurred following a referendum that was held in 1992 that came out in support of independence. Yugoslavia began to disintegrate at the end of 1990, when Slovenia and Croatia declared independence from the rest of the Federation. Slovenia achieved independence with little trouble, but Croatia was engaged in a short but bloody war with Serbia in '91, which ended when the European Union officially recognised Croatia as a separate state and help to broker a diplomatic end to the fighting. Bosnia, however, was a different case- it is inhabited by ethnic Serbs, ethnic Croats, and indigenous Bosnian Muslims, each one of whom had different aspirations for Bosnia. The Serbs wanted it to remain as part of a rump Federation with Serbia, the Croats wanted it to be annexed to Croatia, and the Bosnian Muslims wanted it to be a completely independent state in it's own right. In addition, there were intolerant religious tensions between the Muslims on one hand, and the Christian Croats and Serbs on the other. A referendum on Independence was held on 1st March '92, during which the Croats voted with the Muslims in favour as a means of prising the country away from Serb control- they had already seen Croatia and Slovenia going their own ways, and were determined not to be left behind. The combined votes of the Croats and Muslims resulted in a 'Yes' vote, whereas most Bosnian Serbs had voted 'No'. After that, all hell broke loose- the Serbs, desperate to retain Bosnia as their own, took up arms against the other two groups, supported by Serbia proper- the Croats were equally keen to break away and ally Bosnia with Croatia; they also turned against the Muslims, who were stuck in the middle demanding a seprate Bosnia independent of either of it's two Slavic neighbours. The poor Muslims were very much the jam in the sandwich, with BOTH of the other nations hostile to them, and were forced to take up arms as much in self-defence as anything else. So this is how the war began- it ended in early '96 following the brokering of the Deighton Peace Agreement in the USA. Since then, the remaining parts of the Yugoslav Federation (Serbia itself, Montenegro and Macedonia) have also achieved independence, and there has been fighting within Serbia's own provinces (i.e. Kosovo) which have sought to break away from Serbia.
Mongolia and Kiev..... They broke away and smoked a crap ton of ganja and then got taked back and never smoked ganja again.
The Bulgarians and the Arabs were the 2 main enemies of the byzantine empire.
The decline of Communism led to the return of an old danger - Nationalism. Throughout the communist bloc, many people were not satisfied with democracy; they wanted their own independent nation too. In former USSR, fighting broke out as a number of areas tried to win independence. Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania all became independent again in 1991 and joined the United Nations (After spending many years absorbed into the USSR). On Jan 1st, 1993, Czechoslovakia peacefully split to become two separate states of the Czech Republic and Slovakia. However, the worst violence occurred in Yugoslavia. Tito had held together an explosive mixture of Serbs, Croats and Muslims but communist control collapsed in 1990. In the following year, the Serbs refused to accept a Croat as leader and both Slovenia and Croatia declared independence.

Kosovo is the province of Serbia,like Bavaria is the province of Germany.Kosovo is still a part of Serbia, but Albanians from Kosovo want Kosovo to become a republic...This problem started during 80's and 90's of XX century...At begining there were equal Serbs and Albanians on Kosovo, but Albanians started buying land from Serbians, and gave them much more money than in reality the land costs...So many Serbs left Kosovo to live in capitol Belgrade...When Serbian population fell off Albanians started attacking some Serbs in minority, and they had support of US and NATO...Today tensions are big, since Kosovars, or Kosovo Albanians want etnic clean Kosovo from Serbs...Problem for Serbs is they don't look in reality, they think of Kosovo as Holy land or Serbian Jerusalem, becuse there was battle between Turks and Serbs in Middle ages, that was begining of destruction of Serbian Medevill state, while for Albanians Kosovo is strategic important...That tension did not existed during Yugoslavia, but started when Yugoslavia broke apart, with revision of nationalism in every state of former country...Problem that nobody looks is, for Serbians Kosovo should not be important as Holy land, but as a land where part of their people live, a living people, and Albanians should not be so agresive and secesionistic...They all should live normal lives...
