Post-Yugoslav Wars
The Post-Yugoslav Wars refer to a series of conflicts that occurred in the 1990s following the breakup of Yugoslavia. These wars involved several republics, including Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Kosovo, and were marked by ethnic tensions and territorial disputes. The conflicts resulted in significant loss of life, displacement of populations, and widespread destruction.
The wars concluded with various peace agreements, such as the Dayton Agreement in 1995, which ended the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The aftermath has led to ongoing political and social challenges in the region, including issues related to reconciliation, war crimes, and the integration of the former Yugoslav republics into European structures.
