What happened during the Bosnian Genocide?

Answer 1

Bosnian War is not the Bosnian Genocide
The Bosnian War was from March 1, 1992 – December 14, 1995, which was a period of three years. However, the genocides were particular events during the war, that took place in the cities of Srebrenica and Žepa for only a few days. The Massacre at Srebrenica took place on July 11-13, 1995 and the Massacre at Žepa took place on July 25, 1995. Now, the fact that these massacres were only a few days long should not be seen to minimize the 8,489 Bosniaks who were butchered in these two massacres.

Causes of the Bosnian War
The Bosnian War was a civil war between the three major ethnic groups of Bosnians: Bosnian Serbs (who are Orthodox Christians), Bosnian Croats (who are Catholic Christians), and Bosnian Bosniaks (who are Sunni Muslims). For the most part the civil war pitted the Serbs against the Croats and Bosniaks. The underlying reason for this conflict was that, by and large, the Serbs wanted to keep Bosnia as a part of Yugoslavia and Greater Serbia whereas the Croats and Bosniaks wanted Bosnia to remain a multifaith and independent country. As a result, all of militants from all three sides engaged in small acts of ethnic cleansing. Eventually, on the Serb side, this rose to the level of genocide when Serb troops overtook the Bosniak-majority cities of Srebrenica and Žepa and executed the Bosniak civilian population.

Answer 2

During the Bosnian Genocide many people were cleaned during an ethnic cleansing campaign. 25,609 people were killed during the Bosnian Genocide which happened between 1992 and 1995.
