The Romanian figure he was based on was Count Vladimir Tepisch Dracula.  His father was called the dragon (dracul) and he was the son of the dragon (dracula).\n\nHe is considered a hero in Romanian history for his resistance to the Muslim conquest of Europe.  He was a particularly brutal man though.  After one battle he is said to have impaled 2,000 of the Muslim captives and left them to die, arrayed in the fields around his fortress.  This earned him the nickname "Vlad the impaler".

Are you asking about Serbia and Montenegro, or the recent history of the breakup of Yugoslavia?  Maybe you want to know a short history of the region?  you should try to narrow it down.  Are you asking about the funeral of Slobodan Milosevic?

The war in Yugoslavia first broke out...\nIn Slovenia on 26th 1991 (but only lasted for ten days, and I think they was only four casulties)\nThe so-called Plitvice Bloody Easter in late March 1991 was one first incidences that led to the war in Croatia. Fighting between Serbs and Croatians started on June 27th 1991 in Croatia. On December 19 Rebel Serbs declare independence in Krajina region of Croatia. \n\nIn Bosnia armed conflict took place from 6 April 1992 after Bosnian Independence was declared to 14 September 1995.\nThe first casualty in Bosnia is a point of contention between Serbs and Bosniaks. Serbs claim this was Nikola Gardovic, a groom's father who was killed at a Serb wedding procession on the first day of the referendum, on February 29, 1992 in Sarajevo's old town Bašcaršija. Bosniaks meanwhile consider the first casualty of the war to be Suada Dilberovic, who was shot during a peace march by unidentified gunmen on April 5.\n\n\n\nOK I think you want to know why too...\n\nTo answer this you must first know a little about the history of Yugoslavia.... \n\nYugoslavia only came into existence after world war 2.\nBefore that roughly the same area was called the kingdom of the Serbs, Slovenes and Croats. This only existed after the first world war.\nBefore that Serbia and Croatia, and Bosnia etc had separate histories and cultural influences. Serbia was under the Ottoman empire whilst Croatia was under the Austro-Hungarian.\nSome people say that Yugoslavia only stayed together because of Tito's firm grip. Tito died in 1980. In the 1980's Yugoslavia economy first started showing the signs of strain that had already existed but were hidden well by Tito's position in the world, and Yugoslavia prestige of not being neither West or East.\nThis was the time when nationalist tensions first became to show (they had appeared before but were dealt with efficiently by Tito -- both Tudjman and Izabegovic 1st presidents of modern Croatia and Bosnia respectively had spent time in prison for nationalism)\nBy the times of the late 80's , Yugoslavia was ready to fall apart... \nNationalism was everywhere..\nIn Serbia started by a nationalist memorandum in 1986 by intellectuals... \nBy 1989 (a then new) Milosevic had removed autonomy from Kosovo and Vojvodina...\nThrough out Europe communism was falling, and people were wanting changes of government.\nSlovenia first wanted indepence. Partly because it was the richest province in Yugoslavia and was sick of seeing it's money spent on poorer areas. Partly because it was wanted to be more democratic and was worried by Milosevic's pro Serb, and neo communistic tendencies....\n\nSo when Slovenia declared indepence it was impossible for Croatia not to as well... Croatia had a strong natioanlist history lead by it's leader Tudjman. And wanted to regain 1000 years of Croatian history.\nIf Slovenia and Croatia were both accepted as independent by the EU , which they were..\nIt was impossble for Bosnia to stay in Yugoslavia...\n\nBUT.. \n\nThey were many Serbs who lived in all areas of the former Yugoslavia especially  Croatia and Bosnia...\nThey did not want to leave Yugoslavia, and wanted to stay with Serbia...\nThey were also scared of nationalism in Croatia because during the second world many Croats were supporter of the Ustasa who were supporters of Hitler. The ustasa had massacered many Serbs in death camps such as Jasenovic.\nSome modern Croats were sympathisers with the Ustase and some of the decisions made by Tudjman gave Serbs a reason to fear living in an Independent Croatia.....\nWhilst in Bosnia alot of nationalist propganda brought to the forefront a hate of Islam, and of the Ottoman past..\n\nThis is why the civil war happened....\nOf course now relations are much better between all countries and current politicans are trying to make ammends for the past and build a future.

Bosnia played a major role in the outbreak of WWI. The main causes of WWI were the following: The assassination of archduke Franz Ferdinand, Opposing alliances, nationalism, militarism, and imperialism.\n\nBosnia played a major role as it was a Serbian nationalist group called the Black Hand who murdered the heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary.\n\nIf you want anymore help on WWI, you can email me at skaur1290@yahoo.com.

Браќата Димитар и Константин Миладинови, основачите на националната преродба во Македониjа од средината на деветнаесеттиот век, се родени во Струга, во семејството на грнчарот Ристе Миладин и неговата сопруга Султана, од осумте деца, шест синови (Димитрија Миладинов, Тане, Наум, Мате, Апостол и Константин Миладинов) и две ќерки (Ана и Крста).\n\nПостариот Димитар е роден во 1810, а помладиот Константин во 1830 година.\n\nОсновно училиште завршиле во Струга, а подоцна и гимназија во Јанина, Грција.\n\nСо диплома на учители браќата се вратиле во родниот крај каде учителствувале во повеќе места. Во училиштето во Охрид, Димитар Миладинов се сретнал со познатиот руски научник, славистот Виктор Иванович Григорович. Оваа средба била пресудна Миладиновци да почнат да се занимаваат и со собирачката дејност-собирање и запишување на македонски народни песни и други умотворби, кои подоцна ги отпечатиле во еден голем Зборник. Во таа дејност се вклучил и средниот брат Наум Миладинов. Тој ја завршил Духовната академија на патријаршискиот универзитет "Халки" во Цариград и дипломирал на отсекот музика и граматика. Во 1843 година напишал учебник по музика, прв од таков вид во Македониjа, додека при собирањето на народните песни истите ги запишувал со нотни записи, ги мелографирал, па така тој е нашиот прв музичар и мелограф.\n\nНајмалиот брат, Константин, дипломирал во 1852 година на Филозофскиот факултет во Атина, отсек грчка филологија.\n\nВо тој период Македонија била дел од Отоманската Империја. Освен тешкото турско ропство, на народот во Македониjа му се заканувала и денационализација и елинизација преку елинското просветување и црквата, кои биле во власта на грчката Цариградска патријаршија.\n\nДимитар Миладинов, кој бил целосно прословенски ориентиран, често доаѓал во судир со гркоманите во Битола, а по еден таков судир со битолскиот митрополит Венедикт, тој ја напуштил Битола и Македонија. Димитар притоа работи како учител во влашкото училиште во влашкото село Трново близу Битола, наследувајќи го дедо сѝ. Во Сремски Карловци и Нови Сад имал прилика да се запознае со животот на Србите под Австро-унгарска власт, каде уживале потполна културна автономија. Подоцна заминал во Бел

Hi Nenad you sure have an interest in Serbian politicians!\n What next who was Ivan Stambolic? :D\n\nZoran Djindjic was Serbian opposition politician and a founder of the Democratic party during 1990's. He was member of zejedno (together coalition) that overthrew Milosevic during october 5 2000 uprising (after sloba forgot how to count votes)  He became Premier of Serbia in jan 2001, and Kustunica was president , until he was assinated by gangsters in march 12 2003\n\n\nZoran Djindjic (August 1, 1952 – March 12, 2003) was Serbian prime minister, opposition politician and philosopher.\n\nDjindjic was born in Bosanski Šamac, a town on the Sava river in northern Bosnia. His father Dragomir was an officer in the Yugoslavian army. His mother Mila was a hostess. Djindjic had one older sister - Gordana. Djindjic took an interest in politics while a student at the University of Belgrade.\n\nA pro-reformist socialist, Djindjic was imprisoned for several months after he tried, along with other students from Croatia and Slovenia, to establish a non-communist student organisation. Released from jail, he continued his studies in Germany under professor Jürgen Habermas in Frankfurt. In 1979 he obtained a Ph.D. in philosophy from the university of Konstanz. He spoke fluent German. His English was of a moderate level.\n\nIn 1989 Djindjic returned to Yugoslavia to take up a teaching post at Novi Sad University, and together with other Serb dissidents he founded the Democratic Party. He became Chairman of the Executive Board of the party in 1990, and was elected to the Parliament of Serbia in the same year. In 1993 he became the President of the Democratic Party. Following the collapse of the short-lived coalition "Zajedno" (Together) with Vuk Drašković's SPO and Vesna Pešić's GSS, Djindjic registered as a separate candidate. After a massive series of public protests over rigged elections, Djindjic became Mayor of Belgrade in 1997, the first non-communist mayor to hold that post since the Second World War.\n\nDjindjic played a prominent role in the Presidential elections of Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in September 2000 and in the October 5 uprising that overthrew the Milošević's regime, and then led the broad-based 18-party Democratic Opposition of Serbia coalition to a victory at the Serbian elections of December 2000. He became Premier of Serbia on January 25, 2001.\n\nHe was received favourably by Western nations. His meetings with western leaders George Bush, Tony Blair, Jacques Chirac and others strongly indicated that the West supported his politics. Djindjic had constant disagreements with federal president Vojislav Kostunica. On the other hand, he had a close relationship with Montenegrin president Milo Djukanovic.\n\nDjindjic was assassinated in Belgrade on the stairway of the main Serbian government building on March 12, 2003, 12:23 PM. Shot once in the chest, a high-power bullet penetrated his heart and killed him instantly. According to the official government statement, Djindjic was not conscious and did not have a pulse upon arriving at the emergency ward. His bodyguard Milan Veruović was also seriously wounded in stomach by another shot. Djindjic's alleged assassin, police specialist Zvezdan Jovanović, called Zveki, had fired the bullets by sniper scope from a nearby building window.\n\nDjindjic had made many enemies for his pro-Western stance, reformist policies which had seen unemployment rise to over 30%, for arresting Milošević, for relinquishing him to The Hague, and for clamping down on organized crime. The murder was allegedly organised by Milorad Ulemek, an ex-Commander of the special police, also known as Legija, who ordered Jovanovic to carry out the assassination. \n\nDjindjic was married to Ružica and had two children with his wife. Daughter Jovana born in 1990 and son Luka born in 1992.

Moscow started out as just a village.  Who knows who founded it?  If I remember my Russian history right, I think that it was Ivan the Terrible who made Moscow the strongest city in Russia, and began to form a "Russian" nation.
