Serbia still claims Kosovo as part of the country even though it declared itself an independent country due to the amount of Serbians that still reside in the country.

Bosnia and Herzegovina and its cultural differences The people of Bosnia and Herzegovina have had a tremendous history. The diversity of its people is not unlike that of the United States. In the United States there are many different cultures such as Hispanics, Germans, Italians, Jewish, Irish, and many more. These are the groups currently practicing in Bosnia: Bosnian Serbs, Bosnian Croats, Orthodox Catholics, and some smaller groups. A majority of the Bosnian Serbs and Bosnian Croats are

It has been said time and time again that men go to war for glory and fame, yet the First World War began a little differently. This war began with an assassination that then led countries across the globe to become involved in a revenge war. Each country that entered the war after Austria Hungary’s initial declaration on Serbia was tied to a treaty. These treaties then lead to each country turning to another ally for more men, for more power and more weaponry. Then we see each country being able

The authors of The Bridge Betrayed and The Buddhas of Bamiyan both identify a different form of cultural eradication that occurred in within the past twenty-five years. In Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Serbs and Croats wanted to destroy the Bosnian Muslim symbols, culture, and population. In Afghanistan, the Taliban destroyed the Buddhas of Bamiyan, and in turn, changed the identity of Bamiyan forever. The practice of cultural eradication is not limited to these two cases. Cultural eradication has taken

Otto von Bismarck, the chancellor of Germany, envisioned that “One day the great European War will come out of some damned foolish thing in the Balkans.” He would later be proven right when the “powder keg” in the Balkans finally blew up and affected all of Europe. The Slavic people in the Balkans wanted their own unified nation. They tried to fight Austria-Hungary to create a Pan Slavic nation, but the Slavs were only given Serbia and a few other Balkan territories. Bosnia and Herzegovina

Historians argue that there are many factors that caused World War One. It is to a significant extent that the alliances between countries were a major cause of World War One with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand contributing, as it was the spark that set off war. Other less important but still contributing factors were imperialism, nationalism and militarism. The alliance system was the main cause of World War One because it caused tension between countries and it brought more countries

The name “Macedonia” is the oldest surviving name of a European country (The History of Macedonia). Macedonia is situated in the central part of the Balkan Peninsula. It is on one of the few counties in the Balkans not situated on a sea (Nations Online). Even with a population of nearly five million people, Macedonia is one of the smallest countries in Europe (Britannica). Formerly a part of Yugoslavia, Macedonia gained its independence on September 8, 1991. It adopted its constitution on November

In the year of 1914 Europe was in chaos. Many countries were having problems. But all they needed was a spark to start war. In late 1914, the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated by a Serbian nationalist. Austro-Hungary declared war on Serbia. The countries had allies. When War broke out other countries helped and declared war on others. Russia was allied with Serbia, Germany with Austria-Hungary, France, Britain and Belgium, and Japan and Britain. Since Austria-Hungary declared

In 1919 the allies decided to blame Germany after the extreme event of World War One completely after Germany’s defeat. There were many reasons and causes that lead to war such as militarism, alliances, imperialism and nationalism. Each of these things were creating tension, however, the trigger of the war was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie. Although Germany did participate in causes of the war, many other countries did too. Therefore, Germany should not be blamed

The Causes of World War II Paper by: Margaret Raemsch The causes of World War II are the Great Depression, the Treaty of Versailles, the Japanese Expansion, fascism, appeasement, and hitler and the nazi party.

So instead of a peace treaty, it was more like a surrender document. The French wanted to weaken Germany to make it impossible for them to ever
