CROATIA
The lands that today comprise Croatia were part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until the close of World War I. In 1918, the Croats, Serbs, and Slovenes formed a kingdom known after 1929 as Yugoslavia. Following World War II, Yugoslavia became a federal independent Communist state under the strong hand of Marshal TITO. Although Croatia declared its independence from Yugoslavia in 1991, it took four years of sporadic, but often bitter, fighting before occupying Serb armies were mostly cleared from Croatian lands. Under UN supervision, the last Serb-held enclave in eastern Slavonia was returned to Croatia in 1998.

Great teaser, but number 6 stumped me
I'd suggest changing #5 to start with "pertaining to . . ." to suggest the adjective form used. Good teaser tho!
I still feel I learn something everytime I do one of your teasers. Thanks!!
Very fun! After the first few I started thinking #6 was going to be "Tripoli"...I was like, that's not Europe... but then I was like, "Ohh." Oh well, no teaser correction points today
