When, What, Who it was

In 1990 the Berlin Wall was torn down. This had been the end of major communist rule in much of Europe. Thus many countries that were under communist rule lost much order and many ethnic groups were trying to become independet nations. In Bosnia there were two main religious groups. They were the Serbian Orthadox Christians and the Bosnian Muslims. In 1990 peace between these two groups had failed and the Muslims were simply mistreating the Christians. This is when Bosnia tried to secede from Serbia, but Serbia did not want that. Instead Serbia invaded saying it was to free the serbian christians from the mistreatment of the muslims. Later on in Between April of 1992 and November 1995 Serbia went into Bosnia to ethnically "clean" Bosnia of muslims. This is when the genocide in Bosnia/Serbia began. After the who thing was over with there had been about 200,000 systematicaly killed. This was the first European genocide since the Holocaust in World War II.
