The Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes was created by the union of the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs
with the Kingdom of Serbia
on 1 December 1918. The Kingdom was renamed the Kingdom of Yugoslavia
in 1929. All monarchs were members of the House of Karađorđević. Peter I, previously King of Serbia, was proclaimed King by representatives of South Slav states. The royal family continued through his son and his grandson.
, the Communist-led government on 29 November 1945 declared King Petar II deposed and proclaimed the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia. In 1963, the state was renamed Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
Since 1974, Yugoslavia was headed by a collective presidency, consisting of representatives of the six republics, the two autonomous provinces within Serbia and (until 1988) the President of the League of Communists. The collective was first chaired by Tito, who was President for life. After his death in 1980, one member was annually elected Chairman of the Presidency and acted as head of state. For other leading officials of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, see List of leaders of SFR Yugoslavia.
In 1963 the new Constitution renamed the state as Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and divided the office of the President from the Presidency of the Federal Council, even if the President of the Republic retained the power to preside over the Government when it met, on the French model. In 1974, a new Constitution planned a collective presidency, consisting of representatives of the six republics, the two autonomous provinces within Serbia and (until 1988) the President of the League of Communists, with a Chairman in rotation. Notwithstanding, this constitutional provision was suspended because Tito was declared President for life. After his death in 1980, one member was annually elected President of the Presidency and acted as head of state. For other leading officials of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, see List of leaders of SFR Yugoslavia.
