26. Bosnia and Herzegovina War (1992-1995)
The Bosnia and Herzegovina War erupted amid the violent dissolution of Yugoslavia, as competing nationalist factions sought control over the new state. The war was marked by horrific acts of ethnic cleansing, mass displacement, and atrocities that shocked the world.
International intervention, including NATO air strikes and peacekeeping, eventually helped end the conflict. The war’s scars remain visible in Bosnia’s society and politics, highlighting the dangers of ethnic division and the challenges of postwar reconciliation.
