The Bosnian War: The War Between Bosnia And Herzegovina

On April 6,1992 the Bosnian War began,leading to the breakup of Yugoslavia. Serbian forces invaded Bosnia,throwing many people out of their homes and displacing them throughout the country. The actions of the soldiers traumatized the people of Bosnia in numerous ways, causing peril throughout the country.

In the year 1914, two gunshots had forever changed history. In this time, the countries of Europe had begun to rival in the topic of a greater territory. The Austro-Hungarian Empire had just won over Bosnia, causing considerable disagreement with the Bosnians (Nelson, 2015). Some Bosnian nationalists believed that Bosnia should be its own country, and not under the power of Austria-Hungary. Serbia also wanted the country of Bosnia under their rule due to the great population of Serbians living in Bosnia at the time. For this reason, Austria-Hungary disliked Serbia (Clare, 2002/2014). During this same time period, many other European countries wanted more land and began forming alliances. Serbia had allied with Russia, while Austria-Hungary was formed in alliance with Germany (Nelson, 2015). Despite all the conflict over land and the tension

The Bosnian Genocide began in April of 1992 and ended in 1995. It was a war between the Bosnian Muslims, the Croats, which are Catholics, and the Serbs, which are Orthodox Christians. It occurred in Bosnia-Herzegovina where the population was about 3.8 million. The Bosniaks made up 44 percent of the population, the Serbs 31 percent, and the Croats 17 percent. The country is only about the size of West Virginia. The Bosniaks were treated unfairly and inhumanely during this span of three years.

Throughout the years there has unfortunately been several instances of genocide and one of the most horrifying and tragic genocides was with the Nazi Holocaust that took place from 1938 until 1945. Another one of the horrifying genocides in history was the Bosnia-Herzegovina genocide that took place from 1992 until 1995. A genocide is essentially a systematic murder. Genocide is basically an attempted murder on individuals based on social or political reasons. Bosnia-Herzegovina was responsible for 200,000 deaths and the Nazi Holocaust was responsible for 6,000,000 deaths! Just because the amount of deaths between the two are drastically different does not mean that they did not both do a tremendous amount of damage and take a great deal of

The phrase became traditional in the follow-up of Serbian assaults on ethnic Bosnians during the Bosnian War. The crusade of the Bosnian War in 1992 lead the bigotry to a global dispute, as the Croats enforced ethnic cleansing protocols against the Muslim Bosnians. A number of genocides in 1994 and 1995 supported the continued entanglement of NATO air strikes in both applying a no fly zone and establishing the Serbian air force. United Nations arbitrators on the ground missed the opportunity to fix up the situation earlier. A heavy occupation force enforcing the end of the conflict brought 60,000 troops to the area. These crisis represents a criterion within the discussion about military force to avert a massive ethnic cleansing.

The Bosnian War involved three main ethnic groups, the Serbs, Croats, and Muslims. The war lasted from 1992-1995. After the death of Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito in 1980, growing nationalism among the different Yugoslav republics threatened to split their union apart. “This process intensified after the mid-1980s with the rise of the Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic, who helped foment discontent between Serbians in Bosnia and Croatia and their Croatian, Bosnian and Albanian neighbors.”

After the First World War country was united with other Slav territories to form Yugoslavia. At the time, the population of Bosnia consisted of over 1,300,000 Serbs which were Orthodox Catholic Christians, million Muslim Bosnians and around 700,000 of Croats. They all were strong attached to this land by the historical and local claims. After the death of Josip Broz Tito, elections in 1990 brought nationalists to power in Slovenia, Macedonia and Croatia, which declared independence in 1991 and were recognised internationally. The Leader of Bosnia’s, Alija Izetbegovic called for independence too, and the country was recognised as independent by the USA and the EU in 1992. However, Bosnia’s Serbs weren’t happy because they wanted to be part of “Greater Serbia”. a Serbian named Slobodan Milosevic, a former Communist responded to Bosnian’s declaration of independence by attacking and bombarding the capital city, Sarajevo. Serbs shot down civilians in the streets, including over 3,500 children.

By the divine right of kings, monarchs with blessed blood hold the right to complete reverence and subservience from their subjects. In the time of William Shakespeare, and for hundreds of years before, European monarchs justified their absolutist rules by reasoning God placed their bloodline on the throne. Encyclopedia Britannica states that, in 1603, the art-loving James VI of Scotland succeeded to the English throne (Mathew); according to Shakespeare Online, he brought Shakespeare’s acting troupe, the Chamberlain's Men, under his patronage and renamed them the King’s men (Mabillar 2000). Three years later in 1606, Shakespeare’s tragedy, Macbeth, released. Macbeth takes place in Shakespeare’s version of monarchical eleventh century Scotland.

In 1992 in the country that was once known as Yugoslavia embark (launch into) on one of the worst know genocide since World War II, the war in Bosnia. Bosnia was a human rights and humanitarian nightmare. The war was known as the Bosnia Ethnic cleansing. The targets of this ethnic cleansing operations were Bosnian Muslims. The object was to destroy and forcefully remove those of Muslim religious faith. Many Families witness unjust imprisonment, torture, killings, and some exiled. In The Bosnia List: A Memoir of War, Exile and Return, Kenan Trebincevic and his family was one of the last Muslim family in their building, and then in their town during this time of turmoil. Throughout the course of this memoir, Kenan Trebincevic and his family lost their right to vote, their freedom of religion and liberty and respect to their privacy.

They occur and we neglect to notice the unearned inequity. Even though genocide is difficult encounter as actuality it is. The Bosnian genocide was a heartbreaking event that caused misery and loss of lives to 100,000 with 80,000 being of the Bosnian culture (Bosnia-Herzegovina). March 1, 1992-December 14, 1995 35 dreadful months for the Bosnians. If you think of all the terrifying things done to them they would sometimes rather be dead than alive. Could imagine being in so much agony you would wish you were dead. The perpetrators, the Serbians were making an effort to exterminate the Bosnians. They were stopped by the Bosnians who fought for their lives. This would be recognized as genocide because it shares several characteristics with

Early on in the play, Death of a Salesman, it is evident that both of the Loman sons seem unfulfilled and lost. Biff feels lost and unfulfilled because he doesn't know what he wants out of life. He works as a farmhand, not making enough money, for most of the year then goes back home in the spring. Because he's thirty four years old and doesn't have a steady job of his own or a home, his father Willy sees him as a lazy bum and constantly expresses this. This lowers Biff’s self esteem and causes him to be lost even more. “Hap, I've had twenty or thirty jobs since I left home before the war, and it always turns out the same.” This shows what bothers Biff and why he’s so lost. On the other hand, Happy has everything he’s ever wanted. He has a

The Bosnian War was an international arms conflict that involved 2 main sides, the Republika Srpska, and Herzeg-Bosnia. The Republika Srpska would show very little sympathy towards the Non-Serb population of cities they would occupy. 1995 of the Bosnian War reached its most violent climax, Bosnian Serb Forces in occupied Srebrenica began an ethnic cleansing of the Non-Serb population, and massacred more than 8000 people. Many generals and other people of high class within the Republika Srpska were tried for their actions, but none confessed and denied everything, this is what makes the following person so significant. Dragan Obrenovic, who was the only person who admit guilt for the Genocide and it taking place. The accused, Dragan
