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.
Extensive ethnic cleansing occurred in the Balkans during the late 1990s, particularly during the Kosovo War from 1998 to 1999. The conflict involved the Yugoslav government and Serbian forces targeting the ethnic Albanian population in Kosovo, resulting in widespread violence, displacement, and atrocities. This campaign led to a significant humanitarian crisis, with hundreds of thousands of people fleeing to neighboring countries. The situation drew international attention and ultimately prompted NATO intervention.
The two republics that suffered brutal wars after independence are Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia, both of which experienced intense conflict during the Yugoslav Wars in the 1990s. Following the breakup of Yugoslavia, these regions faced ethnic tensions that escalated into violence, leading to significant loss of life, widespread displacement, and severe humanitarian crises. The wars were marked by ethnic cleansing, particularly against Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims) and Croats, fundamentally reshaping the political landscape of the Balkans.

The nation in question is Yugoslavia, whose disintegration in the 1990s led to bloody civil wars in the region. These wars resulted in ethnic cleansing efforts targeted at Bosnian Muslims, particularly during the Bosnian War of the early 1990s.
