Yep our independence war was a joke. It lasted 10 days and there were no serious fights or shit. We also sit back and watched while the rest of Yugoslavia was throwing shit at each other.
But honestly, Yugoslavia left without a big fuss because Slovenia was always the centre of communist thought in Yugoslavia. Other countries had politicians and generals, we had ideologues. Gommies knew they can only retain their influence there if they let us go independent, it was more a formality than anything else. On contrary, Croatia and Serbia had strong nationalist movements, even within the official Communist Party.
We elected the fucking Communist Party Chairman of Slovenia for our first president, and he's the leader of Forum 21, a kartel of old Communist Party members they use to shill for liberalism and to cover each other's ass in business.
So, I would say that, ironically, while Slovenia got hit the least by Yugoslav wars, we are also the only ones that never really got independent from Yugoslavia. Because Slovenia still is Yugoslavia.
