 * Background:**
 * Excellent history of the area**
 * Above is a map of Europe after 1918 (World War I). The great empires of Europe such as Austria-Hungary and the Ottomans had collapsed and new nations were forming. Out from the Austro-Hungarian Empire comes Yugoslavia. It is a collection of different ethnic groups, religions, and languages. Located in the Balkan Region of Europe it has always been a geographical "hot spot" for tension. Much of the tension stems from nationalism and a desire to for nation states.**

The Map above illustrates the many ethnic groups living in the area that was Yugoslavia.
 * From 1989 to 1992 the various nations of Yugoslavia begin to break apart and declare independence. While some wanted to remain a unified state other were interested in establishing a state for only "their" people. Violence and bloodshed ensued throughout the Yugoslavian Wars. Eventually groups were being targeted for elimination in what was called "ethnic cleansing." In Bosnia, the Serbs were determined to remain with Yugoslavia and planned the elimination of the Bosnian Muslims. The Leader, Slobodan Milosevic targeted groups such as the Muslims and the Albanians for elimination. He was placed of trial for genocide and war crimes but was later found dead in his prison cell.**
