Yugoslav War

The Yugoslav Wars were a series of violent conflicts from 1991 to 2001, involving the breakup of Yugoslavia, a country in Southeast Europe. Ethnic, religious, and political differences led various groups to seek independence or control of territories, resulting in wars, ethnic cleansing, and atrocities. Key conflicts included Croatia, Bosnia, and Kosovo. The wars caused massive casualties, displacements, and international intervention. Ultimately, Yugoslavia dissolved into separate countries, with the conflicts highlighting the destructive impact of ethnic nationalism and unresolved historical tensions.
