Europe 1992: Bosnian War

By 1992 Yugoslavia and Croatia were ready to accept a UN-backed ceasefire. Although this didn't end all fighting in Croatia, it helped shift the battle to newly independent Bosnia-Herzegovina, whose ethnic divisions now triggered a civil war between Serb, Croat, and Bosniak factions. The Serb-dominated rump state of Yugoslavia promptly backed the Bosnian Serbs, giving them a strong advantage over their opponents.
