Click on each folder to see a more detailed description.image_header2025-01-04T11:03:21-08:00Folder 1 (30 documents) - Oct. 1964 - July 1966 Contains telegrams and notes between Washington and the US Embassy in Belgrade from Oct. 1964 - July 1966 with broad themes of US-Yugoslavia relations defined by the Non-Aligned movement, a shifting USSR government after Kruschev, and US actions in Vietnam.
Folder 2 (54 documents) - November 1963 - April 1966 Contains telegrams and notes that highlight US-Yugoslavia relations after the Kennedy assassination and amidst Yugoslav disapproval of US actions in Vietnam. These documents express a strain to uphold US aid to Yugoslavia to deter dependence on the Soviet Union and maintain a relationship that allows the US to see the inner workings of the non-alignment movement.
Folder 1 (30 documents) - Oct. 1964 - July 1966 Contains telegrams and notes between Washington and the US Embassy in Belgrade from Oct. 1964 - July 1966 with broad themes of US-Yugoslavia relations defined by the Non-Aligned movement, a shifting USSR government after Kruschev, and US actions in Vietnam. The documents follow political trends of Tito’s Yugoslavia – including increasing tensions with the US and a difficulty in "fusing the two worlds" as a non-aligned country. These shifts occured amidst a changing Soviet government that ushered in the Brezhnev era. There are several telegrams from talks in Belgrade condemning US efforts in Vietnam for their lack of a clear, sustained end goal. This folder also includes an amalgamation of documents on the US-Tito relationship, Yugoslavia’s Africa policy, and the fall of Rankovic. The final document cites a conversation between a Yugoslav journalist and a Chinese diplomat, who claimed the inevitability of a US-China war.
