Why was the Croatia genocide committed?
There is no official decision about who committed genocide Croats or Serbians. But Looking at it fro my point of view Serbians Committed genocide on Croatia between 1991. - 1995. So sorry misread the question. Croatia declared independence in 1991 while it was still a part of Yugoslavia. Serbians did not agree with that idea and the conflicts started and soon afterwards the war started. Croatia was loosing badly 'cause it had no professional army but over the time they got training and in 1995. Croatia gained all lost land back. During the war Serbians killed a lot of Croats just because they were Croats. Even today 20 years later the scars are still visible and the relationship between Croats and Serbians is tense. We are trying to move on but the memory of the ones who lost their lives fighting for this country remains with us and their sacrifice shall never be forgotten.
