Bosnia-Herzegovina

Slobodan Milosevic seizes power in Serbia in the late 1980's and quickly reignites tensions between Serbs and Muslims. In July 1991, Serbia invades Croatia with the help of Serbian guerrillas. The first mass killings of Croatian men are carried out by the Serbians shortly after. In April 1992, Milosevic decides to attack Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia which was predominately Muslim. Serbia continues to round up Muslim men and kill them en masse until a peace agreement is reached on November 1, 1995. It is estimated that over 200,000 Muslims were killed, 20,000 were missing or feared dead and 2,000,000 became refugees as a result.
