Following World War I, Kragujevac became a part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, later renamed the [[Kingdom of Yugoslavia]]. In the period before the Second World War, the city continued its cultural and economic development with the founding of the Gundulić Theatre and the Kragujevac Academic Theatre as well as a number of new factories.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.joakimvujic.com/english.php|title=Knjaževsko-Srpski Teatar|publisher=Joakimvujic.com|access-date=12 August 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091008095136/http://www.joakimvujic.com/english.php|archive-date=8 October 2009|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Following the Nazi [[invasion of Yugoslavia]], the city came under [[Territory of the Military Commander in Serbia|direct Nazi occupation]]. After a joint [[Yugoslav Partisans|Partisan]]-[[Chetniks|Chetnik]] attack on German forces in nearby [[Gornji Milanovac]], ''Generalfeldmarschall'' [[Wilhelm Keitel]] calculated that 50 people were to be shot for every German soldier wounded and 100 people were to be shot for every German soldier killed. [[Franz Böhme]] therefore ordered the deaths of nearly 2,800 men and boys between 19 and 21 October 1941 in the [[Kragujevac massacre]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.blic.co.rs/srbija.php?id=16913|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120730223552/http://www.blic.co.rs/srbija.php?id=16913|url-status=dead|archive-date=30 July 2012|title=Blic Online: "Engleska krvava bajka" u Kragujevcu|publisher=Blic.co.rs|access-date=16 September 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=Hitler's new disorder: the Second World War in Yugoslavia|author=Stevan K.

The city was liberated from Nazi Germany on 21 October 1944.<ref name="Politika" />

In the post-war period, Kragujevac continued to develop its industry. Its main products were passenger cars, trucks and industrial vehicles, hunting arms, industrial chains, leather, and textiles. The biggest industry was [[Zastava Automobiles]], which at one point employed tens of thousands people.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://voiceofserbia.org/serbia/node/152|title=About Zastava Kragujevac|publisher=Voice of Serbia|access-date=6 January 2016|archive-date=4 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304112730/http://voiceofserbia.org/serbia/node/152|url-status=usurped}}</ref>

The first product of the [[Zastava Automobiles]] car company, the FIAT 750, was manufactured in 1955 under a licence to [[Fiat Automobiles|Fiat Automobiles (now Fiat Serbia)]]. In the following three decades, more than five million passenger cars (FIAT 750, Zastava 1300, Zastava 101, Zastava 128, Zastava Yugo, Yugo Florida, [[Fiat 500L]]) were manufactured and marketed in 74 countries worldwide.<ref name="Welcome to Zastava-arms">{{cite web|url=http://www.zastava-arms.rs/|title=Welcome to Zastava-arms|publisher=Zastava-arms.rs|access-date=12 August 2015|archive-date=1 July 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190701085041/http://www.zastava-arms.rs/|url-status=live}}</ref> Perhaps most famous among the automobiles produced is the [[Yugo]], also marketed as the Zastava Korral.

The city's industry greatly suffered under [[Sanctions against Yugoslavia|international economic sanctions]] during the [[Slobodan Milošević|Milošević]] era in the 1990s, and some parts were reduced to rubble in the 1999 [[NATO bombing of Yugoslavia|NATO aggression against FR Yugoslavia]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.marxist.com/Europe-old/zastava.html|title="Collateral damage" and the workers of the Zastava factory|publisher=Marxist.com|access-date=12 August 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304202917/http://www.marxist.com/Europe-old/zastava.html|archive-date=4 March 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref>
