With [[Dissolution of Austria-Hungary|the fall]] of [[Austria-Hungary]] in 1918, the city was incorporated into the new Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (later renamed to [[Kingdom of Yugoslavia]]). Dubrovnik became one of the 33 [[Oblasts of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes|oblasts]] of the Kingdom. When Yugoslavia was divided among nine [[Banovinas of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia|banovinas]] in 1929, the city became part of the [[Zeta Banovina]]. In 1939, Dubrovnik became part of the [[Cvetković–Maček Agreement|newly created]] [[Banovina of Croatia]].

During the [[World War II in Yugoslavia]], Dubrovnik became part of the [[Axis powers|Axis]] [[List of World War II puppet states|puppet state]], [[Independent State of Croatia]] (NDH), occupied by the [[Italian Army]] first, and by the [[German Army (1935–1945)|German Army]] after 8 September 1943. There were clashes between Italian and German troops in Dubrovnik when the Germans took over.<ref name=":0" /> In October 1944, [[Yugoslav Partisans]] liberated Dubrovnik, arresting more than 300 citizens and executing 53 without trial; this event came to be known, after the small island on which it occurred, as the [[Daksa executions (1944)|Daksa executions]].{{cn|reason=The Daily Star is a trash-tier tabloid, definitely not a reliable source|date=April 2022}} Communist leadership during the next several years continued political prosecutions, which culminated on 12 April 1947 with the capture and imprisonment of more than 90 citizens of Dubrovnik.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hdpz.t-com.hr/broj236/Franic.htm |title=Otpor Hrvatske Mladeži U Dubrovniku 1944–1947 |language=hr |trans-title=Croatian Youth Resistance in Dubrovnik 1944–1947 |first=Augustin |last=Franić |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120307124242/https://www.hdpz.t-com.hr/broj236/Franic.htm |archive-date=2012-03-07 |access-date=16 January 2012}}</ref> After the war the remaining members of [[Dalmatian Italians]] of Dubrovnik left Yugoslavia towards Italy ([[Istrian-Dalmatian exodus]]).<ref>{{cite book|author=E.

Under communism Dubrovnik became part of [[Socialist Republic of Croatia|SR Croatia]] within [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia|SFR Yugoslavia]]. After the World War II, the city started to attract crowds of tourists–even more after 1979, when the city joined the [[UNESCO]] list of [[World Heritage Site]]s. The growth of tourism also led to the decision to demilitarise the Dubrovnik Old Town. The income from tourism was pivotal in the post-war development of the city, including its airport.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.dubrovnik-travel.net/history/|title=A Short overview of the history of Dubrovnik|website=Dubrovnik Travel}}</ref> The [[Dubrovnik Summer Festival]] was founded in 1950.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.efa-aef.eu/en/news/efa-festival-in-focus/dubrovnik-summer-festival|title=Festival in Focus: Dubrovnik Summer Festival|website=European Festivals Association}}</ref> The [[Adriatic Highway]] (''Magistrala'') was opened in 1965 after a decade of works, connecting Dubrovnik with [[Rijeka]] along the whole coastline, and giving a boost to the tourist development of the Croatian Riviera.<ref>{{cite journal|doi=10.4074/S0338059915004039|title=The Informal Housing of Privatnici and the Question of Class Two Stories From The Post-Yugoslav Roadside|first1=Mišo|last1=Kapetanović|first2=Ivana|last2=Katurić|journal=Revue d'études comparatives Est-Ouest|year=2015|volume=46|issue=4|pages=61–91|via=Cairn.info}}</ref>
