Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

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.
