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.In both cases, most simply, Bosnian Serb troops overtook the Bosnian Bosniak-majority cities of Srebrenica and Žepa and executed the Bosnian Bosniak civilian population.

As for why it was not resolved by the UN soldiers that were present in Srebrenica and Žepa, this is because they were hesitant to engage the Bosnian Serb forces, both from exhaustion and disinterest.
