Why Yugoslavia Failed to Get the Bomb
Between 1947 and 1953, Yugoslavia poured some $53 million - a staggering sum - into the pursuit of an atomic bomb. Edvard Kardelj, one of Marshal Josip Tito's closest associates, said in 1950:
"We must have the atomic bomb. We must build it even if it costs us one-half of our income for years"
Yugoslavia was uniquely positioned to achieve the bomb. But in the end, they didn’t. The bomb project in all practicality ended in 1970. In this video, we look at Tito's drive for the atomic bomb. And why it failed.
