History[edit | edit source]
Bosnian War (1992–1995)[edit | edit source]
Radovan Karadžić, the first president of Srpska, proposed allowing majority Serb areas of Bosnia to stay in Yugoslavia.[1]
Sarajevo was besieged from 1992 to 1995, making it the longest siege in modern warfare. Numerous massacres were committed, especially the massacres in Markale in 1994 and 1995. Serbian paramilitaries claimed that these were "false flags".[2]
In July 1995, Dutch "peacekeeping" troops allowed for Chetnik paramilitaries to kill over 8,000 Muslims in Srebrenica despite it being a "safe zone". However, a court in the Netherlands downplayed it and claimed that only "350 were killed" as a result of the failure.[3]
