  1. Bosnian Genocide, 1992-1995 By: Aileen Genovesi, Jessica Migge, Grace Slavin, Elizabeth Dominguez, Nick Tobin

  2. The Background of the Bosnian Genocide • Bosnia was one of the countries that was created after the separation of Yugoslavia which was a multicultural country • Yugoslavia was made of religious groups that were enemies. The Serbs, Croats and Albanians. • The Serbs were the minority and were being mistreated by the Albanian majority. • After the death of Josip Tito Yugoslavia quickly went into political and economic chaos. Nick Tobin

  3. The Goals of Genocide The goal of the genocide was to kill off all of the Muslims because Karadzic, president of the illegitimate Bosnian Serb Republic, thought that Muslims and Serbs can not live together in peace. - Aileen Genovesi

  4. Foreign Interactions During this time the response was limited. At the time George Bush was President and decided not to get involved using military tactics, however recognized the independence of both Slovenia and Croatia. The US and European countries recognized the independence of Bosnia. - Elizabeth Dominguez

  5. What was the Outcome? • 200,000 Muslims civilians had been systematically murdered • 20,000 were missing and feared dead • 2,000,000 became refugees • Peace Accord- after three weeks of negotiations with NATO, Bosnia got separated into two portions known as the Bosnian Serb Republic and the Muslim Croat Federation. Grace Slavin

  6. Choices people made that allowed collective violence to happen - Serbs terrorized Muslim families into fleeing their villages by using rape as a weapon against women and girls. - The Serbs took hundreds of United Nation peacekeepers as hostages and turned them into human shields, chained to military targets such as ammo supply dumps. - In June 1991,Slovenia and Croatia declared their independence from Yugoslavia which resulted in civil war. - In the concentration camp at Jasenovac, the Jews had been slaughtered by the tens of thousands. -Jessica Migge
