History of Bosnia and Herzegovina

The history of Bosnia was full of violence, anger and war. Bosnia was once the epicenter of former Yugoslavia. The state of Bosnia dates back to the Second Century and was quite different from current Bosnia. Second Century Bosnia consisted of Latin speaking settlers from Roman Empire and they were also Christians. (History of Bosnia and Herzegovina). The first ruler of Bosnia, in the high middle ages, was Ban Boric. The second ruler was Ban Kulin and he ruled in the late 1100’s. Ban Kulin

The Bosnian Genocide: 1992-1995 From 1992 to 1995, Bosnia experienced an extended period of turbulence due to a Serbian nationalist movement that resulted in violent upheaval. After many years of being part of an empire or another country, Bosnia finally gained the opportunity to be independent in 1992. Yet there was little reason to rejoice independence when many non-Serbs were dispossessed of their home in Bosnia. Although this genocide was coined “ethnic cleansing,” in the early stages

Genocide in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kosovo Abstract As a criminal investigator, I choose to view the genocide that occurred in Bosnia -Herzegovina and Kosovo as plain ordinary murder, albeit murder on a massive scale and murder that has many different types of victims. In this paper I tried to outline some of the background of the country and its people attempting to show these events as a crime scene. Introduction The purpose of this paper was to inform of the genocides that took

genocide in Bosnia, also known as The Bosnian War started in 1992 after Bosnian government declared independence from Yugoslavia. Bosnian Serbs did not like the idea of a free nation with majority of the citizens being Muslim. Serbs killed approximately 100,000 croats and muslims. The Genocide in Bosnia-Herzegovina is similar to the Holocaust because both involved the murders of certain cultures. This was the largest massacre in Europe since the Holocaust (Bosnia-Herzegovina).

and tragic genocides was with the Nazi Holocaust that took place from 1938 until 1945. Another one of the horrifying genocides in history was the Bosnia-Herzegovina genocide that took place from 1992 until 1995. A genocide is essentially a systematic murder. Genocide is basically an attempted murder on individuals based on social or political reasons. Bosnia-Herzegovina was responsible for 200,000 deaths and the Nazi Holocaust was responsible for 6,000,000 deaths! Just because the amount of deaths

been many assassinations throughout history, but not all of them have sparked a huge piece in the history of war, World War I. Archduke Francis (Franz) Ferdinand, the Archduke of Austria-Hungary, was assassinated on June 28 of 1914 by a Serbian nationalist group that was called “Unity or Death”, more commonly known as the Black Hand, due to the symbol they used. Some Serbians were unhappy with the Austrian Empire because of the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina to Austria-Hungary which the Serbs

Bosnian conflict are both life altering events. The two had differing death totals, public’s response, and purpose. The Holocaust is the most recognizable genocide in history. The Bosnian conflict and the Holocaust occurred at different times in history. The Bosnian genocide lasted from 11 July 1995 to 13 July 1995. (Bosnia-Herzegovina). The Holocaust started on 30 January 1933 and lasted until 8 May 1945 (Holocaust). The Holocaust and the Bosnian conflicts’ death totals are unlike by the millions

disassembled over what historians would argue was “The bloodiest war in Europe since World War II” (Multi-Ethnic Conflict: Yugoslavia.). Yugoslavia was a country composed of six republics- The socialist republic of Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, and Slovenia. The country was created after world war one in 1929 and was under the control of the Soviet Union up until 1991 when the Soviet Union broke apart. With the fall of the Soviet Union came the inevitable turmoil, violence

Austria-Hungary to create a Pan Slavic nation, but the Slavs were only given Serbia and a few other Balkan territories. Bosnia and Herzegovina, however, were annexed by Austria-Hungary. This takeover by Austria-Hungary ultimately led to a nineteen year old Bosnian Serb firing two gunshots that would end the lives of the Habsburg successor along with his wife, and change European history forever. Serbia’s role in World War I included forming a deep-rooted rivalry with Austria-Hungary, assassinating
