ABOUT THE GENOCIDE
What is the Bosnian Genocide?
In the aftermath of the Second World War, the Balkan states of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia and Macedonia became part of the Federal People’s Republic of Yugoslavia. The Bosnian genocide was considered to have started when the Serbian government rejected Bosnia’s declaration of independence from Yugoslav state. After the death of Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito in 1980, growing nationalism within the different areas threatened to split their union apart. Slobodan Milosevic, Serbian leader, intensified the threat and aided the discontent between Serbians in Bosnia and Croatia and their Croatian/Albanian neighbors. In 1991, Slovenia, Croatia and Macedonia declared their independence. The genocide and war took place during the time of when people were getting brutally murdered and killed for being Muslim. The conflict sprouted from land and territory disagreements, but dragged out to be a war about every flaw within each country.
