What is an example of ethnic cleansing?

Ethnic cleansing is the involuntary removal of an ethnic group from a territory, in order to create a homogenous population. Ethnic cleansing sometimes happens without much violence, but it usually entails widespread attacks on a community in order to drive them out, and it always involves at least the threat of force. Note that ethnic cleansing is somewhat different from genocide; unlike genocide, which is usually committed by a government, ethnic cleansing can be committed by small groups without much organization. More importantly, genocide has the objective of wiping out an ethnic grouping, while ethnic cleansing seeks to expel a group, by whatever means. Ethnic cleansing and related crimes were committed by many of the factions involved in the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s, by the Nazis in much of occupied Europe and the Imperial Japanese in the South Pacific during World War II, by a number of factions in the Caucasus Mountain region during the various post-Soviet conflicts there, and on a smaller scale by Israeli settlers in the Palestinian Territories in recent decades.


What is the Sarajevo effect?

"the fear of becoming entangled in ethnic and nationalist disputes". Sarajevo was besieged and effectively destroyed in the early 1990s because of ethnic cleansing actions by the Serbs in Bosnia. NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, was obligated to defend Europe from aggression, but chose to avoid taking sides in the conflict. That choice was the result of fears that bringing in outside forces to resolve internal disputes, especially fighting as the result of ethnic or racial tensions, would result in a worsening of the conflict with no real benefit to any side. This "effect" is seen today in Darfur, Burma and other nation-states that are at war with themselves endlessly. No outside country has the will to intervene.


Which phrase best describes the conditions of the territories of both the former Soviet Union and the former Yugoslavia in the late 1980s and the 1990s?
