The Ten-Day War was a brief conflict that took place in June 1991, marking the beginning of Slovenia's struggle for independence from Yugoslavia. The war began after Slovenia declared independence, leading to a military response from the Yugoslav People's Army. The conflict was characterized by limited fighting, primarily involving skirmishes and blockades. Despite the short duration, the war resulted in significant casualties and damage. By the end of the conflict, Slovenia successfully established its independence, which was later recognized by the international community. The Ten-Day War is often seen as a pivotal moment in the breakup of Yugoslavia.
