Bosnian War

Bosnian War, 1992 to 1995 As Yugoslavia broke apart, Bosnia and Herzegovina became the scene of three and a half years of war, with sieges and ethnic cleansing on the evening news. In July 1995 Bosnian Serb forces captured Srebrenica, which the UN had declared a safe area, and up to 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys were killed or went missing; two international courts later ruled it genocide. Talks in Dayton, Ohio, produced the peace accords signed in Paris on December 14, 1995, and the constitution written into them is still the one Bosnia and Herzegovina uses.
