Post-war Yugoslavia refers to the period following the end of the Yugoslav Wars in the 1990s, which resulted in the breakup of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. This era was marked by significant political, social, and economic changes as the former republics sought independence and established their own governments. The aftermath of the wars led to the emergence of several new countries, including Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia. The region faced challenges such as ethnic tensions, economic instability, and the need for reconciliation among diverse communities, shaping the trajectory of Southeast Europe in the years that followed.
