War: Bosnian War
In 1992 there was a communist nation called Yugoslavia made up of more ethnic cultures than a multicultural Germany. In this nation we had Serbs, Croats and Bosnians. Now the reason they all went to war, basically, was because Croats and Serbs living in Bosnia wanted to annex land for Croatia and Serbia.
The war started in 1992 following the breakup of Yugoslavia, and when this happened, the city of Sarajevo was put under siege. This was the longest siege of modern warfare. It was under siege for 1,425 days from April 5th, 1992 to the 29th of February 1996. It was initially under siege by the Yugoslav People's Army, until disbanded which was then under sieged by the Army of Republika Srpska. To be clear those were Bosnian Serbs

Heavy fighting damaged a lot of the infrastructure for many buildings in the land.

Now this was a war of attrition. Everyone was a potential target, whether you were Serb, Croat, Bosnian muslim, there was always danger you were going to die. There was genocide, mass rape and extermination amount the people.
Here is the Serb leader Ratko Mladic, saluting troops. He sanctioned most of the atrocities committed by the Serb Army.

Now the UN being the worthless bunch they are got involved early on and were pretty much useless, like almost always. They set up "safe zones" for muslim living in bosnian and under resolution 824 sent peacekeepers to defend them. Let's just say yeah, they weren't safe.

Now ya'll know this sexy son of a bitch. Now there were a few genocides during this war, and they were mostly against muslim bosnians. He partook in them, and essentially "removed kebab" or kill muslims.

Downtown Grbavica, a suburb of Sarajevo. Total mess and war torn, much like sweden will be in a few years.
Now let's get to the war crimes. Mass extermination, when they said remove kebab, they really meant it.

Some more muslims mass graves
Now there were some concentration camps and they also held prisoners and helped exterminate some muslims and bosnians. *angry muffled Oy vey in the distance screaming about the 6 million*
There were mass rapings of civilians done by the military, huge amounts of women raped, mostly muslim women.
More war crimes committed against the bosnians.
Mass graves used by the Serbs to hide the bodies. If you haven't already, watch behind enemy lines with Owen Wilson, it's loosely based of the Bosnian war and an incident were an F-16 was shot down.

UN vehicle passing "sniper valley" as it was called due to all the snipers.
How did the war end? Former president Jimmy Carter beings brokering peace talks to all the participants of the war. He eventually succeeds and the Dayton Accords are signed. This allows for peacekeeping troops to enter and well, keep the peace. There were some bombings from NATO because Serbia didn't remove heavy weapons but it all worked out eventually.
In 1995 UN troops hand over peacekeeping operations to NATO, which president Bill Clinton sends in 20,000 US troops as peacekeepers, the US still has a peacekeeping force in Kosovo and Bosnia.
Just cuz it's so catchy. remember remove kebab
"Freedom is not empowerment. Empowerment is what the Serbs have in Bosnia. Anybody can grab a gun and be empowered."
