The violence in the Balkans in the 1990s was primarily caused by a combination of historical ethnic and religious tensions, the breakup of Yugoslavia, and the desire for self-determination among various ethnic groups. Nationalism, political manipulation, and the legacy of past conflicts also played significant roles in fueling the violence.
The Balkans is separated into numerous ethnoreligious nationalistic countries. Bosniaks, Croats, and Serbs are separated predominantly by religion: Muslim, Catholics, and Orthodox Christians respectively. Serbs and Kosovars are similarly separated by religion (Orthodox v. Muslim) but are also split by language (Serbo-Croatian v. Albanian). Slovenes and Croats are both Catholics but are separated by language (Slovenian v. Serbo-Croatian). Macedonians and Serbs are both Orthodox but are separated by language (Macedonian and Serbo-Croatian).
The Balkans had numerous different ethnic groups that were inspired by the waves of romanticism and nationalism at the beginning of the 19th century. This led to numerous revolts across the Balkans, from Romania to Bulgaria to Greece and throughout Yugoslavia, all of which were Ottoman territories. The Ottomans proved both socially and militarily incapable or restraining these revolts.
The Balkans were guaranteed to explode in the early 1900s. Different ethnic groups abounded in the region and were all vying for a country of their own. The area had been controlled by empires for the previous centuries and was starting to gain independence in some places and lose it in others. The dispute between powerful neighbors over influence in the Balkans wasn't helping either.
The river Danube separates Bulgaria and Romania. Bulgarian language is Slavic like Russian. Romanian is in the same language group as Italian. The main religion in both counties is Eastern Orthodox.
In Northern Ireland it would have been between Catholics and Protestants. Many individuals were shot for being one or other of those religions. Many wider atrocities were carried out too. In the Balkans there were conflicts between Christians and Muslims and also between different races. Many major atrocities occurred, with many instances of attempts at ethnic cleansing.
The Balkans became home to a diverse mix of people due to its strategic location at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. Throughout history, various empires and civilizations, such as the Roman, Ottoman, and Austro-Hungarian empires, controlled the region, leading to the blending of different cultures, languages, and ethnic groups. Additionally, factors like migration, trade, and invasions contributed to the ethnic and cultural diversity of the Balkans.
There is no such thing as an ethnic "Yugoslavian." Please specify: Bosnian, Macedonian, Croatian, Serbian, or Slovenian.
