Operation Deliberate Force

Operation Deliberate Force was a NATO military campaign conducted in 1995 during the Bosnian War, aimed at helping to end the conflict and protect civilians. It involved targeted airstrikes against the Bosnian Serb Army, which had been committing widespread atrocities, including the shelling of Sarajevo. The operation was significant as it marked a shift in NATO's role in the conflict from peacekeeping to active military engagement. Ultimately, it contributed to the negotiations that led to the Dayton Agreement, establishing peace in Bosnia and addressing the humanitarian crisis resulting from the war.
