I didn’t leave it out - it has nothing to do with it. The Serb population in Kosovo was dropping already a hundred years ago. In between the world wars the Muslims outnumbered Serbs by more than three to one according to Yugoslavian census reports. A few years after WWII the numbers were rather similar - according to the Yugoslavian government. The genocide you complain I didn’t cite clearly had little or nothing to do with the actual numbers of Serbs in Kosovo. Nice try. Wikipedia may not always be most reliable but this does rely on better sources: http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:NskbHxkC6_0J:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic_history_of_Kosovo+serb+population+in+kosovo&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us&client=firefox-a&safe=on
“No, the result would not have been the same. Without the Western backstabbing, absent the Communist policy of homogenizing the Yugoslav population, the Serb historical affinity for their ancient homeland with its monasteries and churches, combined with the resolve to push back against Muslim terrorists, would have re-Serbianized the population of Kosovo.”
What evidence do you have for that? Apparently none.
The Serb population was being eliminated hundreds of years ago. The Turkish Sultan issued a decree to his Albanian Muslim subjects to stop killing Christians as soon there would no one left to pay the taxes.
The Wikipedia entry you link to says there were 12,985 Serbian dwellings and 46 Albanian dwellings in the Kosovo area based on the 1455 Turkish census.
Despite two major migrations, in 1871 an Austro-Hungarian army study found the Serbs still had a 2 to 1 superiority over the Albanians.
So the Albanians stepped up their genocide... "It is estimated that around 400,000 Serbs were cleansed out of the Vilayet of Kosovo [an area including and extending outside the current Kosovo] between 1876 and 1912 , especially during the Greek-Ottoman War in 1897." The 1871 study showed 318,000 Serbs and 161,000 Albanians. By 1899 the Albanians had reduced the serb population to 166,700 while the Albanian population grew to 182,650.
It succeeded since by 1921 Albanians had about a 2.5 to 1 margin over the Serbs.
During WWII, massacres of some 10,000 Serbs and ethnic cleansing of about 80 to 100,000. The Serb that were cleansed were not permitted to return By Tito. But he did permit the settling of 100,000 Albanians from Albania.
With the recent deceleration, the Albanians will step up their ethnic cleansing, Albanization and genocide against non-Albanians, and the extermination of Albanians that don't toe the UCK line!
I don't point this out for you, since you already know this, but for those that are not driven by an Ustasha like hatred of Serbs!
And here you are again, cheering on the Jihadists against the Christian Serbs.
Your pattern had been proved.
Case closed.
