Yugoslavia was fabricated in the year of 1918. Located near the country of Italy, the territory is now broken up into six independent countries. The nation started to fall apart in the late 1980 's, following the World War II victory for the Allies. While some countries can benefit from diversity, there was just too much for Yugoslavia to survive. Yugoslavia as a nation failed because of too much autonomy between the six nations that came to be, too many different cultures in one nation, and simply
for WWI actually took place in Sarajevo, Bosnia, when a group of insubordinate Serbs assassinated Archduke Francis Ferdinand (heir to Austria-Hungary). In the ashes of the Austria-Hungarian Empire, the Baltic countries formed the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes in 1918. The Kingdom united as the country of Yugoslavia in 1929, of which Bosnia was a constituent republic until Nazi Germany invaded in 1941. After Nazi Germany fell, President Marshall Tito took over the country and controlled it
place in Bosnia and Herzegovina between 6 April 1992 and 14 December 1995. The war involved several factions. The main belligerents were the forces of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina and those of the self-proclaimed Bosnian Serb and Bosnian Croat entities within Bosnia and Herzegovina. There was also a very brave man named Bozo Stegic who has save about 200 innocent lives. He is currently 86 years old and lives in Prijedor, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Serbia. Milosevic envisioned a pure Serb dominated state. He soon started encouraging violent uprisings against the Bosniaks, Muslims, and Croats from the Serbs. Slobodan Milosevic started the Bosnian Genocide because he imagined a pure Serb dominated state. Milosevic had much pride and arrogance in having power that he started this war. He didn’t want Croats, Bosniaks, or anyone but Serbs to be in their state. Once the Cold War ended, the Socialist Federal of Yugoslavia was led by Josip Broz Tito
between the three main ethnic groups, the Serbs, Croats, and Muslims, resulted in genocide committed by the Serbs against the Muslims in Bosnia. Bosnia is one of several small countries that emerged from the break-up of Yugoslavia, a multicultural country created after World War I by the Western Allies. Yugoslavia was composed of ethnic and religious groups that had been historical rivals, even bitter enemies, including the Serbs (Orthodox Christians), Croats (Catholics) and ethnic Albanians (Muslims)

Imagination plays a crucial role in creating communities and its identity. Fiction, in this case will cover both absolute fabrications and biases in the discourse of history's narration. History can be malleable in the hands of narrators, which they use to unite their audience into a common interpretation of their history. Alicia Barber, The author of the essay, Local Places, National Spaces: Public Memory, Community Identity and Landscape at Scotts Bluff National Monument, talks about two community's
“A deeply divided society, is one where violence or the threat of violence keeps it divided. (Adrian Guelke, 2012, p) Usually there are many elements as to why a society contains differences or even divisions but this does not always result in the society being “deeply” divided. A society being considered as deeply divided is often the result of numerous, overlapping, significant differences between at least two communities or groups. The most important overlapping elements of difference which lead
Europe, Yugoslavia was created after World War I as a homeland for several different rival ethnic groups. The country was put together mostly from remnants of the collapsed Ottoman Empire and Austria-Hungary. Demands for self-determination by Slovenes, Croats, Serbs, and others were ignored. Yugoslavia thus became an uneasy association of peoples conditioned by centuries of ethnic and religious hatreds. World War II aggravated these rivalries, but Communist dictatorship after the war controlled them for
country which had just been formed after the disintegration of Yugoslavia. Three groups fought for control of the region, the Bosnians, the Croats, and the Serbs There has been much discussion over whether the war was a civil war or a war of aggression, the Serbs view it as a civil war while the Bosniaks viewed it as a war of aggression caused by the Serbs and Croats.
of Bamiyan explore dimensions of cultural eradication in forms of genocide, destruction of buildings and art, and the demolition of key symbols. In The Bridge Betrayed, Michael Sells discusses the religious nationalism exemplified by the Serbs and Croats in Bosnia and their attempts to destroy the Bosnian Muslim culture. Similarly, less than ten years later, the Taliban destroyed components of Bamiyan culture. Llewelyn Morgan analyzes this cultural devastation in his book, The Buddhas of Bamiyan.
in Southeastern Europe, specifically those states in the Western Balkans fought in a war between their fellow bordering states. The conflict began due to Bosnia’s interracial mixture of people specifically in relation to Bosnian Muslims, Serbs, and Croats. The war was mainly between Serbians, Croatians, and Bosnians as the Serbian motives to participate in the war were focused around ethnic differences. This investigation will determine the extent to which Serbia’s involvement in the Bosnian War was
The Bosnian Genocide: It was Completely Preventable Imagine if today there was an attempt by a major military power to violently slaughter and exile the native people of a neighboring country, using the same tactics the Nazis used in the Holocaust. Surely there would be a worldwide uproar, and powerful nations would organize to stop the violent annexation and genocide, right? Unfortunately, such an event has already happened, practically within the last twenty years. Despite the fact that many people
of WW II a man named Josip Tito, a Croatian Communist created a pact between the two fighting sides. This lasted until 1960 when Tito granted Muslims a distinct ethnic status in society as an effort to put them on equal grounds with the Serbs and Croats. After Tito's death conditions got bad. The Serbs gained most of the power and began killing off the weaker non-Serb peoples. The situations between Germany and Bosnia are quite different, however, there is a strong resemblance as well. It is highly
imbue them with the nationalist ideologies (Rogel 45). The Serb death count at Jasenovac was a wildly varying number, grossly overinflated by the Serbs and downplayed by the Croats. The Serbs even asserted that the Bosnia was just an administrative creation of Tito, designed to thwart the rights of the Serbs (Rogel 43). The Croats countered that the whole Yugoslav system under the communists had been run for the benefit of the Serbs, and Croatia had borne the economic brunt of it. All of this propaganda
loosely means duke. The Bosnians control the northern regions. It is the flatlands and plateaus where most of the farming is done. Herzegovina is a mountainous region where very little farming can occur. It is controlled by the Serbs and the Croats. The Croats are mostly in the central regions but fall within the southern overall region. (The northern region of Hervigovina). The Bosnians are Muslims, the Serbs are Eastern Orthodox Christian, and the Croatians are primarily Catholic. Until recently
The United Nations was formed on October 24, 1945, after the Holocaust, to prevent genocide from ever happening again. A cartoon depicted by Michael Sutherland illustrated the unsuccessful intent of the United Nations. The United Nations is pictured standing over many graves of countries and groups that have suffered from genocide. However, many genocides have taken place since the formation of the United Nations (i.e. the Bosnian genocide). Both genocides began as simple misconception or dislike
War. However the disintegration was a war of recognised nations, involving ethnic Croats; they were in the main protesting the nationalistic policies of President Trudjman. Ethnic Serbs were opposing Slobodan Milosevic. The case of Bosnia is slightly more complex with both ethnic Serbs and ethnic Croats identifying themselves as Bosnians as opposed to those who saw themselves as Bosnian Serbs or Bosnian Croats.[2] These nations were members of Yugoslavia, later to become the independent states
Brenda Katten who is the chairman of the Zionist Federation said that, “As Jews, we are quite horrified at what is going on: we lost a lot of our people in the 1930s because the gates were closed on us- What is sad, is that we don’t learn from our history.” (3) This seems to be the recurring theme about genocides: They happen and are an immense tragedy but yet they continue to happen throughout time and all over the world. In the Bosnian genocide in 1992-1998, another group was was exterminate by
