Balkans
The war in Bosnia and Croatia from 1992-95 and that in Kosovo from 1996-99
pitted various ethnic/religious communities against each other within the
boundaries of Yugoslavia, which dissolved in the 1990s. Serbian hegemony in the
former federated state was shattered in each territory. Orthodox Christian
Serbs were forced to flee as refugees from what became the independent
countries of Catholic Croatia, Muslim-dominated Bosnia-Herzegovina, and the
fledgling state of Albanian-ethnic Muslim Kosovo. In addition to the propaganda
aspect of the wars that portrayed the Serbs as aggressors, murderers, and
rapists, the compelling Serb loss of life and territory, stature and power,
constituted the harsh political dénouement of the Balkan wars.
