Answer 2

D. THE FALL OF THE COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT IN YUGOSLAVIA led directly to separatist movements in Easter Europe in the 1990s.

The absence of a Soviet threat to the integrity and unity of Yugoslavia and its constituent parts meant that a powerful incentive for unity and cooperation was removed.

European states united because they all faced one enemy; the Soviet. However, when the threat of Soviet attacks diminished, European states wanted to wean themselves from each other and become independent.
