See |Wikipedia for Yugoslavias involvement in WW2.

Post WW2
Following WW2 Marshal Tito was called to Moscow to talk about Yugoslavias status in the Post War world. The meeting was a complete disaster for Stalin, Without the help of the USA Stalin had belived that Yugoslavia would be happy to either become part of the USSR or one of its many satalite states. However Tito was determined the Yugoslavia would walk her own path and left the meeting aware that his relationship with Stalin was damaged beyond repair.

Without help from Stalin many felt the Yugoslavia would fall apart but Tito struck a bargin with one of the least likely allies in history, Spain. Despite Tito's support for the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War Franco was more concerned with Stalin's growing power and desperately needed an ally in Eastern Europe.
