| Abstract: | Elementary-school history textbooks dealing with the Middle Ages in Yugoslav (1945–1991) and post-Yugoslav republics were examined, with a focus on the history of each republic or state. The treatment of medieval domestic history was compared both across contexts and over time. Our interest lay in the nationalisation of history, which can also generate contradictions among textbooks. Such contradictions may concern claims to territories, historical figures, peoples and events; however, we did not examine possible portrayals of golden ages. Contradictory claims were already present within socialist Yugoslavia, not only after its dissolution, when the successor states enthusiastically pursued their nation-building projects. |
