What is the official name of Bosnia?
Bosnia is a region of SE Europe on the Balkan peninsula, which in 2010 is part of the republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Bosnia and Herzegovina were formerly a part of the federation of Yugoslavia, which was broken up by the Yugoslav conflicts (Bosnian War) beginning in May of 1992.HistoryIn the middle ages, Bosnia and Herzegovina was just called "Bosnia", or "Kingdom of Bosnia". Herzegovina is a region of Bosnia, in the middle ages it was called "Hum", but it was renamed to Herzegovina. Ottomans occupied Bosnia, and in the Ottoman empire it was called "Bosnian vilayet". After Ottomans, Austro-Hungary annexed Bosnia, and it was the first time the term "Bosnia and Herzegovina" was used. In Yugoslavia, Bosnia was one of six constituent republics. It's full name was "Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina", and when Yugoslavia broke up, it was called the "Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina.".
What are the differences between serbscroats and Muslims in Bosnia?
The 3 main populations in Bosnia are: Bosnian Muslim Bosnian Serbs Bosnian Croats Very generally speaking the Serbs are Orthodox, the Croats are Catholic and the Muslims are Muslim. The langauges these people speak are basically the same (once called 'Serbian-Croatian') but there are differences in spelling and pronunciation. Politically most Bosnian people are happy with the status quo and want to live in peace but there are still many Bosnian Serbs who want to be part of Serbia, many Bosnian Croats who want to be part of Croatia and many Bosnian Muslims who resolutely don't want their country to be divided up.
How long was the Bosnian genocide?
Bosnian Genocide is used to refer either to the genocide committed by Bosnian Serb forces in Srebrenica in 1995, or to ethnic cleansing that took place during the 1992-1995 Bosnian War. Elections in 1990 brought nationalists to power in Croatia and Slovenia, which, together with Macedonia, declared independence in 1991 and were all recognised internationally. Alija Izetbegovic, the leader of Bosnia's multi-ethnic government, called for independence for Bosnia, too; it was recognised as independent by the USA and the EU in 1992. Bosnia was the victim of one group's determined wish for political domination, which it was prepared to achieve by isolating ethnic groups and if necessary exterminating them.
What are you considered in Bosnia?
Well things after the war changed a lot. Now, if you are a Muslim you are called a Bosniak, if you are an Orthodox then they call you a Bosnian Serb and if Catholic then Bosnian Croat. But people which do not care about they're religion simply call themselves as Bosnians. Many petitons and protest arose nowadays across Bosnia because people want to declare themselves simply as Bosnians no matter of religion.
What country tried to force the Muslims out of Bosnia through brutal acts of the military?
Part of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina had seceded: the Serbian-dominated part had proclaimed the Republika Srpska. It was its army (often simply called the Bosnian Serb army) under its General Ratko Mladic that killed many Bosnian civilians. The mass murder of unarmed Muslim men in Srebrenica was a very gruesome case in point.

When did Bosnia began?
Well, what is a country? Let's say that a country is any geographical area that is fully independent from that near/surrounding it, in agreement with this country. Now that that's cleared up, we can say that the first time that Bosnia was known as a 'country' was in 1377, when the Kingdom of Bosnia became independent from both the Kingdom of Hungary and the Byzantine Empire. However, in 1463, the Bosnian Kingdom was conquered by the Ottoman Empire. Being juggled through the hands of the Ottoman empire, Austria-Hungary, and Yugoslavia, the region only re-emerged as a nation following the Yugoslav breakup of 1992. Even then, the nation was known as Bosnia and Herzegovina, and whilst commonly referred to as Bosnia, is still named as such today. So, the only time that Bosnia was: a.) independent, and b.) actually called Bosnia was between 1377 and 1463. But back to the original question: the Kingdom of Bosnia declared independence in 1377. The current nation of Bosnia and Herzegovina became independent in 1992.

What is the people of Serbia called?
Yugoslavia was a national term, not an ethnic term. It was also an umbrella category meaning "Southern Slavs" in the same way that "Hispanic" is an umbrella term referring to the vast diversity of Latin America. So when people lived in Yugoslavia, they were called "Yugoslavs", but they also retained their ethnic identities: Albanians, Bosniaks, Bulgarians*, Croats, Hungarians*, Macedonians, Montenegrins, Serbs, and Slovenes.* These are incredibly small minorities in former Yugoslavia.Since the breakup of Yugoslavia, people have preserved their ethnic identities, but taken on new national identities, which include: Bosnians, Croatians, Macedonians, Montenegrins, Serbians, and Slovenians. As a result, you have Croats who live in Croatia, e.g. Croatian Croats and Croats who live in Bosnia, e.g. Bosnian Croats. You have Bosniaks who live in Bosnia, e.g. Bosnian Bosniaks, and Bosnians who live Serbia, e.g. Serbian Bosniaks.
