I usually call period of WWI one of our brightest and darkest times in history so far.
Brightest - because we used to have one of most respected army in world, the army that hasn't executed any of its war prisoners, the army that was ordered to not harass or ask for food from Albanians during the suffering in Albania who used to ambush the starving and exhausted Serbian army and civilians that were retreating to island of Corfu in Greece to recover. The army that, thanks to its great strategists and soldier that looked at death with smile, managed to fend of three invasions of Austro-Hungarian army that was 10 times larger and 10 times better equipped than our own. These battles are still studied at military academies like West Point in USA. The army that managed to liberate its country in just 45 days after the breach of Salonika front, who crossed more than 500km faster than French cavalry. The army that hasn't committed any crimes... And there is much more to add, it wouldn't fit here
Dark - because Serbia lost about 1.2 million people, quarter of its entire population and half of its male population.
And in the end resulted having small territory, that excludes Macedonia and now Kosovo, but has Vojvodina incorporated, which they want to steal from us now. In my opinion, Serbia should have the territories that were promised in London agreement in 1915, but instead Yugoslavia was formed and then the bloody civil war happened...
On the 28th of July 1918. 4 years after the war started, the Serbian flag flew over the white house, and the American president Woodrow Wilson held speech regarding our heroic acts in war.
Please, don't be childish, you are talking about completely different period here. You heard from mass media about this "genocide", but have you heard about how many Serbs were killed in villages around Srebrenica? I bet you don't even care.
World War One: Death in Trenches.
They were hero's, every one. :')

What about the Croation inquisition that was word then that of the Spanish?
Many Serbians died in holocaust-like camps in their own country at the hands of their own brothers!
