JG,SC,MM - Genocide in Bosnia
1990-1991
The Croatian, Macedonian and Slovenian republics declare independence from Yugoslavia. The Bosnian leader tries to follow their lead. The ethnic Serbians living in Bosnia, who want to stay loyal to Yugoslavia, fight against the decision violently, causing the UN to prevent all buying and selling of weapons in Yugoslavia, including Bosnia.
1992
The Croat and Muslim nationalists outvote the Serbians in the decision for independence. The Serbians get mad because they believe that all big decisions have to be agreed on unanimously.
April, 1992
The war officially starts, caused by Serbians snipers attacking demonstrators in Sarajevo. Serbian soldiers living in Bosnia are discharged from the Yugoslavic army, but are allowed to keep their weapons.
May 1992
The rest of the world officially recognizes Bosnia-Herzegovina as it’s own country.
Summer 1992
This is when the “ethnic cleansing”really started in Bosnia. Serbians kill Muslims or deport them to another place so they can create an “ethnically pure” region, and even go as far as to start concentration camps. Most of it happens in the new Serbian Republic, but Muslims are also attacked in Muslim and Croatian-controlled areas. The Serbians living in Bosnia lay siege to the capital city of Sarajevo, used by Muslims as a safe haven. The Serbians now control most of Bosnia.
Winter 1992-93
The UN tries to send food and water to Muslim refugees in the “safe haven”, the city of Sarajevo in the middle of Bosnia, but are blocked by Serbian forces. There is a shortage of food, fuel and medicine in the Muslim cities that haven’t been attacked yet, and the U.S. president Clinton orders humanitarian aid to be sent to the refugees by air.
1992-1993
Cease fires are broken when the Vance-Owen peace treaty is rejected by the Bosnian Serb Parliament. Many more peace treaties are negotiated, rejected then re-negotiated. The Croatians, who were originally fighting with the Muslims against the Serbs, start a fight against the Muslims. The Muslims in Herzegovina form an alliance with Serbians against the Croatians. The conflict was caused by the destruction of an important Bosnian landmark, the Mostar Bridge.
February 4, 1994
The Market Place Massacre happened on this day, in the Markela marketplace in the city of Sarajevo. A huge bomb was dropped that killed 68 people and wounded more than 200. The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation issues an ultimatum for the Serbians to withdraw their artillery 20 km from Sarajevo.
Summer 1994
The Bosnian Government army takes back some of their territory in Bosnia’s North-East corners.
Fall 1994
NATO bombs the airport the Serbians had been using for their bombing raids. The Serbians hold 300 UN troops as hostages to make sure that no more air raids happen.
December 1994
The US president Jimmy Carter flies to Sarajevo to negotiate a 4-month cease fire.
January 28, 1995
This marks the 1000th day of the siege of Sarajevo.
February, 1995
Cease fires are staring to fall apart. The president of Croatia insists that UN peacekeepers leave Krajina, a region in Croatia mainly occupied by Serbians. Many are afraid that the fighting will become worse when they leave.
February 15, 1995
The United States tries to negotiate the Yugoslavic President into leaving Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina alone in exchange for allowing Yugoslavia to trade internationally again. Yugoslvia refuses.
July 1995
The “safe haven” city of Srebrenica gets overrun by Serbian troops. Thousands of Muslim men and boys are separated from their families and killed, despite the efforts of the UN forces to help. More than 8,000 people were killed.
November 1995
The United States sponsor peace talks in Dayton, Ohio.
December 14, 1995
This marks the end of the war and genocides, after the signing of the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The negotiations were officially over on December 21, 1995. The war in Bosnia is considered the worst genocide since the holocaust, with over 200 000 casualties.
