▲[[File:Panslav.svg|thumb|250px|Red, White and Blue are considered to be the 'pan-Slavic colours' as they are found on the majority of flags of Slavic countries, and at least one of them is found in every Slavic flag. The specific flag seen on the picture was approved as the Pan-Slavic flag by Prague Slavic Congress of 1848 and was later adapted as the flag of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia as well as Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, which later became the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro. A variant with a red star was later used by the [[File:Tito.png]] [[Titoism|Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia]].]]
'''Pan-Slavism '''is a movement that emerged in the mid-19th century and a political ideology that promotes the integrity and unity of the Slavic peoples. Its main influence occurred in the Balkans, where non-Slavic empires ruled the southern Slavs for centuries. These were mainly the [[File:Cball-Byzantine.png]] Byzantine Empire, [[File:Cball-AustriaHungary.png]] Austria-Hungary and [[File:Ottoman.png]] the Ottoman Empire.

In the Balkans, Pan-slavists would often turn to [[File:Cball-Russian Empire.png]] [[Absolute Monarchism|Russia]] for support. The southern Slavic movement advocated for the independence of the Slavic peoples within the [[File:Cball-AustriaHungary.png]] Austro-Hungarian Empire [[File:Austroslavism.png]], the Republic of Venice and [[File:Ottoman.png]] the Ottoman Empire. Some Serbian intellectuals tried to unite all the southern Balkan slavs, whether they were Catholic ([[File:Cball-Croatia.png]] Croats and [[File:Cball-Slovenia.png]] Slovenes), Orthodox ([[File:Cball-Serbia.png]] Serbs, [[File:Cball-Bulgaria.png]] Bulgarians,
After the creation of the [[File:Cball-Yugoslavia-old.png]] '''Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes''' in 1918, '''Yugoslavism''' gained a new political and state dimension. However, a key step towards the political redefinition of Yugoslavism was made only in 1929, when the official name of the state was changed to the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. From that moment on, all the inhabitants of Yugoslavia became Yugoslavs on the basis of their citizenship. At the same time, in addition to the national state, Yugoslavia gained a special ethno-national significance in the form of the ideology of '''Integral Yugoslavism''', which was based on the thesis of the existence of a single nation. Integral Yugoslavism was based on the denial of the existence of separate ethnicities, which were reduced to a subnational level and declared as mere tribes within a single Yugoslav nation. The policy of Integral Yugoslavism was actively pursued in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia from the introduction of the [[File:Abmon.png]] [[Absolute Monarchism|6 January dictatorship in 1929]], until the assassination of King Alexander I in 1934, after which it fell into crisis, and experienced a complete collapse between 1939 and 1941.
During the Second World War, the [[File:LCY.png]] [[Marxism-Leninism|Communist Party of Yugoslavia]] propagated a special form of federalist Yugoslavia which, after 1945, under the slogan of ''brotherhood and unity'', became the backbone of state policy in the [[File:Cball-Yugoslavia.png]] [[Titoism|new socialist Yugoslavia]]
Yugoslavia suffered a heavy blow during the political crisis that led to the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990's, which permanently compromised the concept of any political unity of the Yugoslav peoples. Serbia and Montenegro's attempt to preserve a narrow Yugoslavia after 1992 through the creation of the [[File:Cball-Yugoslavia-old.png]] '''Federal Republic of Yugoslavia''' ended in failure. The narrowed political concept of Yugoslavia was formally abandoned in 2003, when the FRY was reorganized into a state union called [[File:Cball-Yugoslavia-old.png]] [[Confederalism|Serbia and Montenegro]]. Eventually, both [[File:Cball-Serbia.png]] Serbia and [[File:Cball-Montenegro.png]] Montenegro became their own separate

19th century Pan-Slavism has influenced [[File:Polandball.png]] Poland. It inspired sympathy for other oppressed Slavic peoples seeking to restore independence. While Pan-Slavism fought against [[File:Cball-AustriaHungary.png]] Austria-Hungary for the freedom of the South Slavs, the Poles inspired other Slavic peoples for the liberation struggle with their insubordination. It was the melody and motive of the Polish national liberation song called ''Mazurka Dobrowski'' that served as the basis for the creation of a number of Slavic hymns and the pan-Slavic anthem ''"Hey, Slavs!"''
