Description
The war in Yugoslavia was widely broadcast but for the most part the world did not intervene. Serbs fought Muslim Bosnians, Muslim Bosnians fought Croats and Serbs and this took place in what had been a peaceful and ethnically mixed Yugoslavia. This article briefly covers the historical background, the rise of nationalism and increasing polarisation, the Serbian Memorandum, the the move from political polarisation to mass violence, the ICTY and the Dayton Peace Accords. The article includes a list of the key figures involved, a glossary and timeline.
