In March 1992, Bosnia-Hercegovina declared its independence from the former Yugoslav federation. The Serbs who lived in this ethnically diverse area feared the idea of being controlled by the Muslim Slavs who formed the majority of the population. The Serbs soon armed themselves and began to fight the Muslims. Most of the towns in Bosnia-Hercegovina fell, except for Sarajevo. On April 6, 1992, Serb militants opened fire on thousands of peace demonstrators in Sarajevo, killing at least five and wounding 30. This began a siege that has been termed "the worst in Europe since the end of World War II".
The Bosnian War (1992-1995) involved multiple factions, but the primary perpetrators of war crimes were the Bosnian Serb forces, which sought to create a Greater Serbia, and the Bosnian Croat forces, who also engaged in ethnic cleansing against Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims). The conflict was marked by horrific acts, including mass killings, sexual violence, and the siege of cities like Sarajevo. While all sides committed atrocities, the actions of the Bosnian Serb Army, particularly under leaders like Radovan Karadžić and Ratko Mladić, drew significant international condemnation. Overall, the war was deeply complex, characterized by shifting alliances and a brutal struggle for control and ethnic dominance.
