One?

Here are several.

Croatia (and Slovenia) had been under foreign rulers for centuries. After WW1 they finally managed to get independence but for a very short time and then forced (because of Secret London contract from WW1 between Italy and UK) to join with Serbs.

Serbs wanted to be the main nation and to mix with Croats and Slovenians who were minority. Finally, following global changes (fall of Berlin Wall, killing dictators in Romania, colaps of Soviet Union) Croatians and other nations didn't want to be under Serbian agression and so we come to independence.

What was the yuoslavian civil war about?

Croatia and Slovenia declared independence in 1991, Serbia disagreed with that decision and decided to keep Croatia and Slovenia in Yugoslavia at any cost. War lasted for a few years and then conciliation was signed in Paris in 1995. There was a lot of victims, mostly innocent and the relationship Croatia and Slovenia to Serbia is still tense. The reason for the declarations of independence by Slovenia, Croatia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina had a lot to do with the rise of Serb nationalism, and the fears of each of the republics of Yugoslavia were that they were going to exist in a Yugoslavia which was completed Serb-dominated. The fears of what that could lead to were brought to light during the war, by the Serbs, by the Croats, and by the Albanian Kosovars.
