The civil war in Yugoslavia was fought between who?

Croatia and Slovenia declared their independence in 1991 and Serbia disagreed with that decision. At the beginning there were a few conflicts and then it grew into a war between Croatia and Serbia. Slovenia and BiH were attacked too. But Croatia suffered the most. War in Slovaenia lasted for 10 days i think but the war in BiH was the most terrible thing ever seen. Serbians were killing everyone who is not serbian - croats, mulims and bosniaks. The relationship Croatia and BiH to Serbia is still tense.


Why did Serbia invade Slovenia and Croatia?

They never did. Slovenia and Croatia declared independence from Yugoslavia first, which the Yugoslavia army opposed, starting a 8-day war in Slovenia and a war in Croatia lasting 2-3 years. Serbia didn't exist at the time. It was just a republic in Yugoslavia. Serbia became a proper country when all of the other republics of Yugoslavia had broken away and declared independence.
