2. Background
After a lots of problems in Yugoslavia with Croats in may 1936. Yugoslav Royal Army sends a lot soldieries to the region. Because of that move Croats and Slovenes started a big rebel with big help from Germany. Civil war in Yugoslavia didn't last long . In October of 1936 Croatian and Slovene Home Defence Army kicked out last Serbian soldier from their Croatian-Slovenian Republic.
Croatian-Slovenian Republic was founded in territory of Slovenia,Croatia,Bosnia and Vojvodina.
Hitler and Mussolini just waited for this chance . Now they are sure that in "Balkan" their will not be war.
During the war neighbors of Yugoslavia (Hungary,Bulgaria,Greece) send some military forces in Yugoslavia and occupy some parts of Serbia and Macedonia-
Hungary took part of Yugoslavia that Serbs took from them in 1918.
With Civil war in Croatia started civil war in Macedonia. But there , SW Macedonia was attacked by Greece and SE part was taken from Bulgaria. Serbs had "saved"(read took) North part of Macedonia
After that , rest of Yugoslavia (Serbia,Montenegro,N Macedonia,Kosovo) had founded Yugoslav-Serbian Kingdom. In 1937. Yugoslavia,Greece,Romania,Bulgaria (non catholic lands) founded Second Balkan League. The first thing to do for them is to retake Croatian-Slovene territory and destroy Albania as a state.
In the meantime in Rome Germany,Hungary,Albania and Croatian-Slovenian Republic signed Vatican pact that ensure Croats and Slovenes that they will stay independent .....
Serbian Generals didn't at all like that move.In the rest of Yugoslavia they gathered army and with their anti-catholic neighbors (Romania,Bulgaria, Greece) started offensive against Croatian-Slovenian Republic.
The war begins.Balkan League attacks Croatian-Slovenian Republic and Albania.
Hungarian neighbors come to aid their friends!
With help from German volunteers Vatican pact defend it self from Balkan league
