He unified a kingdom from the wreckage of empire, then ruled it as a dictator until a bullet in Marseille ended the experiment. Alexander I pulled six fractious peoples into Yugoslavia and discovered that holding them together required more force than vision.

About this person

Born in exile after his family lost the Serbian throne, Alexander moved through Montenegro, Switzerland, and the imperial Page Corps in Russia before a 1903 coup restored the Karađorđević line. He commanded Serbian forces through the Balkan Wars and became prince regent in 1914. In 1918 he oversaw the creation of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes from Serbia and former Austrian lands, ascending the throne in 1921. When the assassination of Croat leader Stjepan Radić triggered political collapse in 1929, Alexander dissolved parliament, renamed the country Yugoslavia, and imposed a royal dictatorship formalized by the 1931 Constitution. The Depression hammered the rural economy; ethnic tensions climbed. In October 1934, during a state visit to France meant to shore up alliances against Hungary and Italy, he was shot dead in Marseille by a Bulgarian revolutionary working with Croatian separatists. His eleven-year-old son inherited the throne and the unraveling state.
