I was an American soldier with the first amored division in Germany, we were the first ones over the Sava River late 1995. After spending most of a year in Bosnia and seeing what happened there I never looked at human beings the same again
That makes sense, because Serbs and Russians, pretty much the same people, following the bloodthirsty Russian Orthodox Church, absolutely hate Catholics.
I am a child of this war, i am living but i am not so inside, i haven't been the same since and i spent time with my family in refugee camps. I know alot of people wont understand me, they never did, they said they cared for us but i fell thru the cracks. It did not end there, back in america i was told to go back to my country , but my country no longer exsisted the way i knew it. I was now "damaged goods" its been a very long time and im slowly starting to live again but i cant lie, I'm terrified! i never asked for this, all i ask is for some grace, and even thats hard for some people. Hopefully i can thrive, but people of war are never the same, just people hide alot of that pain. I wish peace to the people of the world, even to the serbian people who unalived my family and burned our homes i wish peace even for you❤ i dont hate anyone, i just wish people would be kind to eachother 🙏 be well world and open your eyes to the children of war❤️
I ja sam isto kao ti.Samo sto sam ja ostala u svome selu,nisam bila izbjeglica kao ti u kampovima tim.Tesko jeste,ali onaj gore vidi i cuje sve.Izvini ako sam nesto pogresno rekla, ali me je tvoj komenat dirnuo duboko😢😢😢😢
This is the entire reason we created birders in the first place. To keep "diversity" apart so we don't kill each other. You'd think this war would've reminded people of that. But nope, we've imported a future of guaranteed bloodshed. Idiots.
My understanding is that the Ottoman Empire's occupation of the Balkans for a long time but being preceded by a very long stretch of Europe as a whole being predominantly Catholic and the Byzantine culture out of Greece being noticeably not Roman means that..... That demographics are hard to do for the region which is probably why they are war torn and full of strife. I think one should say "they are not predominantly anything anymore" But that what is more objectively clear is that Hitler and the Ottomans were aggressors, so if we're looking for people to blame for breaking whatever they used to be, there's as good a start as any I suppose. And that's before getting into Communists and anything else that might have once had a chance at flourishing and had older roots before all these waves starting crashing into them. "Are Ukrainians more French or more Russian?" If you're being forced to answer that question obviously Russian, but that technically true answer may be analyzed as not a very useful or helpful answer to decide more real and serious issues. The Balkans surely have to have a very significant Muslim population. Well.....yeah.....but.....how did that happen.....
Forgotten .. by whom? Everyone who was alive at the time remembered the Yugoslav wars … just because it predated the internet doesn’t mean it didn’t exist !
if you asked the modern American they probably wouldn't even know about this war. I read one book in HS about it, Zlata's Diary- in lit class. Not even history. The only reason I am keenly aware of this war is because my parents drove through Yugoslavia in 91 and my mom mentions it often.
@@cornpop6969 American leftist in the 70s hailed Yugoslavia as a successful example of a multicultural nation for others to follow. Of course the same people now don't want to discuss the failures of multiculturalism. Same people don't discuss Rwanda genocide or Black on Black crime. It doesn't fit their narrative.
Forgotten by the Anglosphere that doesn't take interest in anything than doesn't pertain directly to them. And when I think about it why wouldn't they. It's just a bunch of tribes bickering on the other side of the world.
I was a peace keeper in BiH around 2004, ~10 years after the war ended. And the hatred between people was like the war just ended yesterday. This was a bad war.
Agreed. I was there 2000-2001 under SFOR, it was such a tragic landscape/ environment. Where people held on to their hate, for generations. The ruthlessness with which they fought each other was the result. 😢
It's a Balcan war and the US and UN did not understand what was going on, the people living the the former Yugoslavia (like me) just knew after president Tito died it was a matter of time and another balcan war was on. It did not surprise us that the many peace treaties that were signed with the Serbian government were not respected. When president Clinton visited Bosnia an old lady asked him to stay for another 100 years.

As a surviror of the Sarajevo siege,(I was only 5 when war started)I can only tell one thing.Dont ever wish upon anyone those things to happen again.No one wants war,none of us in the Balkans,(except few dogs of that war that still try to poison minds of all 3 nationalities)rest of us....well...we're fed up with it.Just wanna live our lifes.
Sarajevo was not under siege. The Serbs only protected their parts of it from ethnic cleansing by the muslim forces. The Hrasnica camp is one of a series of concentration camp systems that existed on the territory of the City of Sarajevo in the early nineties of the 20th century. This casemate existed since June 1992, that is, for more than 30 months. The camp was founded by members of the so-called Muslim First Corps of the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina, more precisely the chiefs of the 4th Armored and Mechanized Brigade from Ilijah. The managers of this casemate were Fikret Prevljak and Husein Mutanov. The number of Serbs who went through the hell of this camp is around 350-400, they were mostly brought from Sarajevo settlements, and the largest part of them were civilians. More than fifty of them have been killed or are being taken as if gone. By the way, in the area of Sarajevo field, which is controlled by Muslim forces, at least 126 camps were recorded in which thousands of people, civilians of Serbian nationality, were imprisoned during the four years of the war. The camp was closed at the end of 1994 under the pressure of international observers, so the remaining prisoners were transferred to the "Silos" camp, Hacihi municipality. Today, in the area of the former camp in Hrasnica, there is no sign or any sign that there used to be a death case, because the city authorities do not allow such a thing. The truth about the suffering of the Serbs would change the mosaic of the war in Bosnia.
I was also a 5 year old boy when it all started like you Adnan, and I do remember many parts of the war... it was hell of all of us, regardless or the religion or nation. I just wish this never happens again to anyone, and call me naive, but I think the situation nowadays is getting better and better, especially among educated people. I feel like there is no more hatred or intolerance towards other 2 nations like there was some years following the war. Cheerz all!
I worked with a beautiful man from Yugoslavia called Mick Milosovich..He came over after world war 2 and was a brilliant engineer..I learned a lot about life from Mick..R.I.P my friend you are missed ❤
At a military camp during medic training I was called to calm down a soldier who had PTSD from this conflict. He told me a terrible story about going to a village to declare a death of a child nailed to the door inside a hut.
I was in Sarajevo during the war and the seige. I left in 2004, years after the war and I never went back. I'm still traumatized from everything I saw there. It's hard to explain what kind of evil takes over humans to do such things.
What kind of things did you see during that war? Im simply just interested in this war and i know it doesnt get spoken about enough compared to other conflicts. Of course, you do not have to answer about what you saw. I hope youre living a good life now 🙏
@Sunderland95FTM I saw a lot of suffering, starvation, and killings. One of the worst memories is the day I was sick and didn't go to school. It was November 1993. That day a tank granade killed 3 of my classmates and my teacher. Someone put the plywood sheets to cover the windows so the inside is not visible. I climed up to see inside. I saw my classmate's brain on our desk were we sit. I saw other body parts and blood all over the classroom from my other classmates and friends. That feeling and that smell is hard to describe. I witnessed many more massacres but that one gives me chills even 30 years later it feels like it just happened. Wars are dirty but that war was something else.
@NorthWestAutos thankyou for the reply, I'm sorry that you had to witness that. That is something that will be with a person forever. And I agree, war is dirty. Nobody wins in war
@@Sunderland95FTM Now hear some non muslim propaganda : SARAJEVO GOLGOTHA 1996 (FEBRUARY Exodus) The Sarajevo Golgotha or the Sarajevo Exodus is the name for the mass exodus of about 120,000 Serbs from the eastern parts of the city of Sarajevo, which began at the beginning of 1996 and lasted for two and a half months, until March 1996. This exodus came as a result of the betrayal of national interests by the Serbian delegation that went to the USA for the signing of the Dayton Peace Treaty in December 1995. The eastern parts of Sarajevo, which were inhabited mainly by the Serbian population, were sacrificed in North America, for the sake of "peace" and international recognition of the Republic of Serbia. That is, two entities were created in Bosnia and Herzegovina, according to the ratio of 51-49%. At the beginning of the 21st century, Sarajevo became a purely Muslim city (with over 97% in which the Serbs are besieged and where the historical existence of the Serbs is being erased every day, in full view of non-national representatives. Twenty years after this exodus, it was the first time that it was publicly commemorated with an appropriate program in Bijel'inI. Everything up to that point was at the local level, where the people of Sarajevo fled: Zvornik, Bratunac, Vlasenica, Brčko, Višegrad...
@@NorthWestAutosWhen I arrived in Bosnia , I mean in capital Sarajevo in December 1999 the war already was over but you could see a lot of of houses destroyed and abandoned without owners, and some walls on streets still the trace of bullets , anyway I met my fellow citizen a country man who spoke very fluently Bosnian language ( by this day I have no idea how he had learnt that difficult language and when? ) and as I was watching all Day to day Bosnian war in my own country during the war and I am a curious person I asked that country man is that true Serbs committed war crimes and killed innocent civilians? He said something to me in which by this time still I am shaking! He showed me through the window a graveyard and said look at there, the Serbs militia tear a pregnant woman’s belly by knife and took the baby from the womb and not only mother and baby killed in the most horrific and barbaric way but they also took the unborn baby and nailed him/her to a wall 😢😢😔 this was one the many horrible crimes they committed during the bloody war in Bosnia and Herzegovina at that time unfortunately
Narration made with AI software/program. But yes, at time mark 0:02 i decided this so called documentary is not worth my time. Even more, i did reported it for unprofessional treatment of an subject mater. Cheers from Slovenia!
I did a 6 month UN operation in Bosnia in mid 1993 not long after the war started and we as medics just had to stand back and watch, we felt useless…🇬🇧🇺🇳
I enlisted in the USMC 2016, but my good buddy says he was deployed there watching innocent people get butchered while command told them to sit still and do nothing. Just stand back and watch. He has horrible PTSD from his deployment and HE DID NOT EVEN fight.

Im Croatian war vetran 1991-1995 so very familiar to the subject. After watching first 10 minutes finding some mistakes in intrudoction to the war itself. Statemant that after 1974 constitution Serbs didnt like that because of large population that live outside Serbia is true, but to say that in Bosnia and Croatia are muslim population are majority is not true...Croatia is over 80% roman catholic, maybe 12% othodox christian ( mostly Serbs) and muslims under 1% in 1990 before the war...even in Bosnia before the war muslims was under 50%... Serbs and Croats combined , as a christias was over 50%...
As a Croatian living in the USA, the leftist media in the USA has no idea what are Christian nations of Eastern Europe. Many journalist in the USA are young, failed history, any only consider Non White Non Christians as victims, therefore Croatia, a White Christian nation cant be a victim of aggression. They dont even mention that Croatia voted to be independent in 1991 from Jugoslavia.

My co worker at my workplace Milan, was under the command of Dragon Vikic. He told me how during the beginning of the siege he weighed 210 lb and when he reunited with his wife in Germany she couldn't recognize him because he said he was 94 lbs and he was too skinny and almost unrecognizable. When he finally reunited with his son, his son didn't recognize him and was 6 at the time when they reunited. He explained how he stayed behind to watch over his house in Sarajevo he told me that he had to smear candle wax on his finger tips fingers on his fingertips just to have light. He told me stories of how snipers would shoot at when he would go to fill his water jugs but they wouldn't shoot him, instead the would aim for the water jugs so that all of the water would leak out. He told me how spent many sleepless nights during the shelling and how he spent nearly all of four years in darkness from no electricity in his building. He suffered many years of PTSD and he told me how the sight of steak made him lose his temper. I don't know why, I'm assuming it was the sight of dead flesh and blood. He said he just got so used to not eating. He often tells me stories of Tito and how life used to be. He is very calm and I enjoy learning Bosnian-Serb words. He's now living happily and he's always a joy to be around. It's men like him who are a good role model to live around 🇺🇸🤝🏻🇧🇦
Sarajevo was a miserable place starting from March 1992 until Dayton. I was a huge advocate for American intervention, living 600 miles away in Germany I knew that we could stop it. I would read about the misery it was horrible
@@Liam_Mercer every person that fought in the war, or was under siege looks different on world than other people...sometimes its funny to see people who are always nervous because of small, normal life situation...I put a smile and think life now is wonderfull
Although I was also a US soldier at this time I did not deploy to this region, rather other foreign lands. Have studied this war since we first became aware of the escalation of conflict and am of the opinion this is the most complicated open declaration of hostilities in post WWII times, and the ineptest involvement of superpowers seeking to intervene. One could research every detail of the painstakingly collected history and still not understand it completely, nor be left with the impression that the global community learned lasting lessons from this epic tragedy.
I will tell what I know. I worked with a man who had a funny name Sajo for the longest time I thought his name was pronounced with j like joe and he let me keep going like this for probably about a week. And then I learned how to pronounce his name he was a great guy very personable very popular. And he told me his story he had an older brother who had moved here along with his sister his older brother owned a taxi cab company. He asked me if I knew who slobodan milosevic I told him that I did that I understood the Sarajevo war a little bit. He proceeded to tell me that his his family was put in a line his mother father and grandparents were all directed to go to the left or the right I don't remember . What I do remember is that the three young children went the opposite direction they never saw their family ever again just like in the concentration camps of world war II. They were brought to the United States and they live a good life now but every once in awhile I think about this guy that I couldn't pronounce his name and he must still think about that day. If you see this you know who I am you remember my son my son was very interested in your BMW thank you for taking great care of my son when he would go to visit you on his bicycle I'll never forget you or your great friendship.

I was at the largest NATO command in Germany at Heidelberg (when NATO still had all its combat power). When the war broke out, everyone began working on a plan to go in and stop the war. Sadly and tragically, the United Nations went in instead. They allowed themselves to be stopped trying to get aid in, they stood by when their own peacekeepers were taken hostage, and they stood by when paramilitary units walked past "peacekeepers" and slaughtered everyone in their "safe havens" and they stood by while Sarajevo was being shelled relentlessly. I have had nothing but contempt for the UN ever since. They have never kept the peace ANYWHERE they have been deployed, most recently in Lebanon where they allow Hezbollah to repeatedly attack Israel. They are the most useless organization to have ever been created, and why the nations of the world continue to keep funding them goes beyond insanity. We should kick the UN out of New York-let them go to Europe and fail there. Again.
I heard the same from a RAF senior officer who was at NATO HQ at the time. The European armies were prepared to go in with NATO logistics and were stopped by Clinton . Then in his second term he decided to go in , and say only the US would save the situation . Said RAF officer was very bitter about this and was convinced they could have stopped the war years earlier.
It has been "The Useless Nations" from Day 1. Allowing Stalin/Russia a permanent seat on the Security Council where 1 vote stopped every motion. The Human Rights Council is mostly staffed with the WORST violators of humans and human rights in the world.
@@captainbligh3894 I know from US Army officers and NCO's who've been sent there at any time, all say there is zero reason for the US to be involved. There is nothing in that land that is worth losing one American or NATO military life over.

Let them get it out of their system. Muslim provoked issues are swept under the rug of political correctness.
I am Pole, moved to US in 2004. I had worked for 4 years with a Bosnian man, he lost in that war two little children killed by Serbs. They (him and his wife) decided they didnt want to live where their kids were killed. Moved to Chicago for x number of years, she was a shell of a human being, stayed home, depressed, didnt have a job, blaming herself (I never had an audacity how their children died, somebody speculated by a bomb). Obviously they never got over it, over that terrible loss, she decided she wanted to move back to their "old country" to be closer to kids' graves around 2008 or so. He went with her...
Im sure when they got back to Bosnia it only got worse. Just as dead then as they were when they left. Idk.how to put it, but i imagine it was a last resort to find some kind of relief and it must have been awful when they didnt find it. I imagine even worse than the US, considering how so many war criminals were being released. Places like Mostar, you go a few streets over and see a croat who executed men women and children
@@jeremylamovsky9868 Croat? Well, you see Serbian, Croat and Muslim perpetrators. Especially Serbian - they were the most prolific perpetrators of atrocities (Srebrenica), every second house in Republika Srpska houses a family with a war criminal. They all participated in crimes, but Serbs outdone them since they were most numerous and well equipped by JNA and Serbia, fact.
@@ivan00001983 dunno wtf made you think I didn’t know this, the whole thing really kicked off when a Muslim killed the groom in a nonmuslim wedding. Merely speaking from the perspective of the people in the story
Look up Serbian victims massacred by muslim forces in Kravica, Tuzla, Sarajevo where the wedding couple was shot by muslim sniper and the actual cause of the war which was their (bosnian muslim) separatism. You won't find a single documentary (except in Serbian language) about Serbian victims because the narrative that Serbs are aggressors has to be kept at all costs.
I had a neighbour, middle-aged man, who served the Dutch militairy in Bosnia. He recently ended his own life. He was always asking for favours and begging for money, but suffering from ptsd and alcoholism and some other stuff might have you end up that way I guess. I still feel sorry I didn't do more for him but he was kind of self indulgent.
My brother was a peacekeeper in this war. He never came back. He's alive, but my brother never came back. A shell of his former self did. Broken but hardened by the grim reality of what happened. He told me a story of how he had to go clean up a building that had been hit with grenades. When he got there it was a nursery and he had to clean up the bodies of babies from the walls and ceiling. He also told me about how he befriended a child who would visit him daily. He would give him sweets and whatever he had. One day he didn't turn up. He knew he was dead. From that time on I never knew my brother. I knew a soldier, hardened to protect his own emotional breakdown.
Its interesting to watch, i was 12-16 yr old American girl 🇺🇲 i do remember hearing of this war and occasionally would catch newspaper articles, i had no idea what was going on, only that people were dying. There really was A Lot going on in the world during those years. I very much remember reading about the Rwandan Genocide (94) as well.
The UN did not establish the tunnel under the Sarajevo Airport runway. The Army of BiH did. The reason the Bosnian Serbs couldn’t stop the traffic through it was because the UN controlled the runway.
Stopped watching 10 mins in as there were so many mistakes and inconsistencies in the beginning, it definitely means the whole video is flawed. I have no bias for any side and came here just to see if i can pick up on any additional details I didnt know. The first 10 mins of absolutely butchering history with incorrect info is a crime against humanity. I dont know if it was intentional or not but this is uneducational and missinformative.
I started watching the rest after I've heard in documentary everything was said the way it was. As Veteran VRS being in this war specially in Sarajevo 1992. Truth
We got lodes of Bosnian refugees on my grandmother's coal board estate in Yorkshire. They stuck together and caused havoc until the locals ran them out. That was back when refugees eventually went home and Britons had a fighting spirit. You said it was a positive time in the west but the early 90s weren't that positive for us at times
The lesson here is never let the UN or any government disarm you for your own safety. The UN has proven over and over they're less than useless, they're often obstructive.
I went to Yugoslavia when I was a little kid, to place called Rabac and it was a beautiful place. Our hotel was on a clifftop with stairs down to the water. The people were really friendly at the hotel. A woman named Maria or Marian looked after me and my sister sometimes and often wonder what happened to her and the people at that hotel. Hope they all made it through the war.🙏
Was in rehab with a guy from serbia. His dad was serbian special forces. One day during group therapy he broke down an let out that when he was 5 he opened the front door an found both them both beheaded on the porch. The anount of pain he was letting out was indescribable mmm,,,
I remember watching this on the news about this war as a child in primary school in the 80's , feels like we have been watching conflict on tv for a very long time.
This video has a "Muslim" and "Eastern" bent to it. Yugoslavia was made up of almost entirely white, CHRISTIAN people! Slovenes and Croats are Catholic, while Serbs are Orthodox. The only Muslims were the Kosovars and Bosniaks. This isn't prejudice, it's just fact.
"Almost entirely" is a term i would use for maybe Japanese people in Japan, nearing 98% of the population. Where as Yugoslavia was nearly 10% Muslim, and in parts of Bosnia they made up nearly half the population. They also made up large minorities in Montenegro and Macedonia. So to say Yugoslavia was "almost entirely" Christian?? Lol. You wouldn't happen to be Serbian, ayyy???
Hold up a second. You're telling me the UN conducted the largest airlift operation in history to Sarajevo? Are you SURE it was bigger than the Berlin airlift conducted by the US and UK?
Great documentary, thank you! I think an animated map every now and again would really help, there are a lot of different groups, regions and enclaves it would make things easier to follow.
It's sad that you have to say the Bosnian war is forgotten, but your probably right .I remember watching this on the news and being sickened and frustrated watching it all happening.
That was epic I was only a child growing up in Scotland when this war was taking place so I didn't understand it at the time but watching this I now realize how brutal it was thank you for this awesome documentary and education on this epic battle
I was in the SAS, the Saturday and Sunday club @ our local Church; and recall some of the horrors I witnessed whilst watching the news updates on our projection room display. Back then, most TVs were, on usual, 32 inch TVs. One cannot truly grasp the depravity of humanity unless you've seen those news clips on the large projection screen. Imagine a regular 24inch or even 32inch being equivalent to a 9mm round and our equipment screen being like 75 inch, such as the 7.62×51mm NATO round.... It changed me forever; and even us in the SAS were deeply affected by it, it was hard to watch our usual film afternoons. Hope you all stay safe and God bless
This was so confusing with all the groups and names & stuff. I clicked this video to try to figure out how so many Bosnians ended up in Des Moines Iowa
Serbia had the Greater Serbia of all Serbs in one state. It wasn’t enough. They wanted total domination of all others, worse yet, they couldn’t stomach people they perceived as inferior such as Bosniaks and Albanians to rule over Serbs in their respective territories that Serbs were in minority. In Kosovo, after Milosevic removed the autonomy, Serbs were no more than 15% of the population but accounted for 95% of state employees, managers, police etc. Once Slovenia and Croatia saw what it was done, they saw the writing in the wall and moved full force towards independence. Bosnia followed suit.
And now mention all the things eastern and Russian media NEVER mentions, like the genocides under Stalin and Mao which are still ignored by those nations? Go away with all this “west bad” crap, at this point only Russian bots and traitors care about that stuff, the west is literally so much better than the alternative it’s wild.
Im Serb that had to leave Croatia because fascism there. My life was hell there. Many Serbs were killed such as Zec family in Zagreb. My grandparents escaped horrors of Medak where Croats massacred Serbs. Their house was looted and destroyed by Croats. My other grandma also had to flee and her house was destroyed too. Serbs were cleansed in 1995 and many were killed. Serbia accepted refugees from Krajina, Bosnia, south 🇷🇸.
The Croatians did nothing to calm the fears of their Serb minority population. Just the opposite in fact. And where was the west and their human rights that they love so much.
@@DConnectEmpire I am not an expert on the subject but as far as i know Serbs had the same constitutional standing as Croatian people , Tudjman changed that and proclaimed that Serbs are a minority so that he could separate from Serbia , that is what caused the war ( especially because of historic reasons , from shootings in the parliament and killings of prominent Croatian politicians before WW2 to horrors during WW2 ) , and i am in no way defending the genocidal insane politics of Milosevic
Right from the start ,i have to corect you.That war did NOT dragged in the western pwers,it was started by the west to remove miloshevich from power.The real reason for that war is the fact the Miloshovich did NOT obbey the western (usa/uk) orders and didn't sold his country.
My uncle was a peacekeeper in Sarajevo and found a rape dungeon with Swiss(I believe) peacekeepers who trapped Croats in the back of the cellar who were caught in the act of assaulting young girls and the proceeded to lock the soldiers in but not before throwing grenades in. He took pictures of the aftermath and the dungeon. I’ve never seen flies so big and black
Basically, NATO was on any side that was supporting decoupling foreign countries. From one economic giant (Yugoslavia), NATO (Read: USA) created couple small weak countries and their resources are exploited by Western Corporations. Bravo!
I absolutely love this channel. As a combat veteran of tGWOT I’ve been a student of history especially military history as far back as I can remember. I would sit at age 5 and listen all day to Grandpa’s stories of the war in the pacific during WWII. From island hopping and storming Iwo Jima. That’s likely when my love for military history & my country began. The facts and history this channel provides is second to none. Keep killing it guys!
While this was noted quickly at the beginning, I think further emphasis and time should have been invested into explaining how it was the Serbians who were the victims of their neighbors, who sided with the Nazis, in WWII, to the point of there being a whole death camp there that was just as bad as anything in Poland, and barely ever mentioned in Western media. It's just a little strange to me that the first time in this piece that the concept of "thinking of their differently ethnic neighbors as sub-human" comes up is in reference to Serbians in Bosnia in the 90's... it's not like the same or much worse happened to their parents/grandparents within living memory. That doesn't excuse anything of course, but it is rather vital context also. There's also a very clear pattern with NATO in Europe: Did you collaborate or ally with the Nazis in WWII? Then NATO will back you up, support you, potentially get the intelligence agencies involved if you can't legitimately win an election in your country (See Ukraine in 2014! Or Italy in the 70's lol), because Nazi collaboration means you HATE Russia and/or Communism, and how funny those happen to also be the USA's biggest obsessions.
It’s not has if the Serbs didn’t take their own brutal revenge on the Croats after 1945. The communists oversaw the massacre of 300.000 Croats during the first years of communist rule in Yugoslavia. But that part wasn’t convenient to your anti Western rant, was it? And you have the gall to talk about the importance of context.
The Ustashe concentration camp in Croatia, Jasenovac, was actually worse than anything in Poland or elsewhere under German control in WW2, to such an extent that top nazis were disgusted by what was done there!
I never really got into this part of history until I learned more about my family and our heritage since my grandfather passed away. You could say I was a Croat but didn't know it
Sooooo many inaccuracies in this video - Croatians are not predominantly Muslim, they are Roman Catholic, There are hardly any Albanians in Vojvodina (0.12% of the population) yet Vojvodina and Kosovo i Metohija are described as both having Albanian majorities. The biggest piece of history which was overlooked was the genocide of the Serbs (350,000+dead) by the Puppet Independent State of Croatia (the ruling ustasha) during WW2, with only a passing reference to Jews (30,000) and Roma gypsys (26-29,000). This fact was still in living memory for older Serbs living in Croatia (all 581,663 of them) when Croatia declared independence in 1991 - so legitimately a lot of Serbs were worried about history repeating, those in Bosnia and indeed Serbia too.
Serbs were always claiming to be victims even when they are killing women and children as they did in Eastern Bosnia when they were filling houses full of pregnant women and small children and burning them all down.
I suggest you look up the long list of Serbian Chetnik war crimes during WW2 which includes among other things the bayonetting of Croatian babies and small Croatian children as what happened in the "Gata Massacre" which happened on the 1st of October 1942.
@@Chetnik1978 The Serbs directly created the Ustasha organisation after murdering the Croatia leadership in 1928 and after 20 years of terror and brutal Serbian dictatorship before WW2.
I don’t want to justify Serbs because they did a lot of crimes as well as Croats and Muslims but the fact USA destroyed Yugoslavia and even made Kosovo independent with their military base proves that US demolished the only one Russian ally in Europe. Today Russia fights against NATO expansion which started from Yugoslavia war and Kosovo precedent.
Really interesting ! I was born in 1984 so I was just a kid/young teenager when these events happen but still was aware of the war . I needed a little explanation ! Thank you
I'm a Serb/Montenegrin-American and while visiting Yugoslavia in 1990 I stayed with a Serbian family in Sarajevo's suburb of Ilidza. Previously I befriended three Bosnian families from Sarajevo who were vacationing together in popular Croatian resort-island of Hvar. One family was Muslim, one Croatian and one Serbian. I spent the entire summer in Serbia, Bosnia and Croatia and saw no indication of any ethnic hatred as everyone got along great. Then the war started! Serbs were eventually expelled from Ilidza as whole Hell broke loose in Bosnia. For the uninformed, the Norwegian documentary ("Srebrenica the town betrayed") could shed some light on situation in Bosnia at that time!? It's unfortunately for Yugoslavia to fall apart as united we could have finally beat the United States in Basketball at the Olympics in Paris this year! p.s. I absolutely don't believe in "rape hotels" as military and police wouldn't allow such thing - pure propaganda!
During the intro you made a statement essentially saying that the atrocities that occurred in the Yugoslavian wars of the 90’s hadn’t been seen since the 3rd Reich…or something to that effect? What about all of the atrocities which led to the torture and deaths of millions of People throughout the Soviet Union, East Bloc Communist countries, and all of the satellite puppets for the CCCP, CCP, North Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, African countries and Latin countries, between May 8, 1945 and the end of the 20th century?
The crime in Bosanski Brod refers to the murders of ethnic Serbian civilians from March to October 1992 in Bosanski Brod (in the north of Bosnia and Herzegovina), which were committed by the Croatian armed forces in cooperation with members of Muslim paramilitary groups, and later by Muslim so-called Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Due to its monstrosity, this crime against Serb civilians was one of the most horrific scenes seen in war-torn Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 1990s. Crimes against Serbian CIVILIANS have never been adequately prosecuted, farces have been made since the beginning of the year, and the sentences imposed by the courts on the victims were small, which confirms the fact that the State Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina mocks both justice and the victims.The Hague Tribunal was not interested in prosecuting the Criminals, and the Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina deliberately delayed these cases for years. Even the representatives of the European Union in Bosnia and Herzegovina are not pressuring the authorities in Saratov to prosecute the criminals, even though the directives on which the EU was created have that obligation. In the area of Bosanski Brod, Croatian paramilitary formations had 10 camps, where less than 2,000 Serbs were imprisoned. That is, in the eight months of occupation in Bosanski Brod, at least 500 Serbs were killed. There are also well-founded suspicions that criminals removed organs from Serbian victims and sold them on the black market throughout Europe, especially in Germany.
How many people have gone trough Manjaca , Omarska i others? How many people were killed in bombardment of Dubrovnikl? How many people have been killed in siege of Vukovar? How many people were killed in western Slavonia? This Balkan war can't be viewed as a separate war in Slovenia and separate war in Croatia and separate war in Bosnia. Common link in all of those was Serbian Government trying to enlarge Serbia within a confusion within of a break up of a country. They promoted minority serbs in those republics to establish their own regions and that resulted with balvan revolution in 91, in Krajina and Borovo/Vukovar area. And, just one interesting information...percentage of serbian population in Vukovar right now, 30 years after, is roughly the same as it was before the war. So much about the claim that they are being discriminated against.
@@LunarWolf-H8 Now it is Bosanski Brod? As far as I know, after occupied by the Yugoslav army, it have become Srpski Brod. Serb nationalists , through wisdom of Yugoslav army tanks nad artillery, tried to completely erase bosnian national identity. Court in Dusseldorf ( case against Nikola Jorgic, serbian soladier ) decleared him guilty formGenicide over Bosniaks in Grapska - Doboj, just south from Bosanski Brod. Genocide was not reserved for Srebrrenica only, it was all over Bosnia and Herzegovina .
@@LunarWolf-H8 Your ridiculous propaganda and falsification of history is no longer going anywhere! Who are you to deny identity to us Bosnians??? Because of your poor propaganda and falsification of history, you committed genocide. You found yourself denying the country, people and history that is older than you! Thank God we have historical writings, especially of the Bosnian Franciscans. There were no Serbs in Bosnia until the Turks settled you when they conquered the Balkans. Until then, all the inhabitants of Bosnia were called Bosnians. Bosnia existed as a medieval kingdom. During Tito's time, we only restored statehood.
This documentary didn't say that Croatian army liberated huge parts of Croatia and Bosnia,thus forcing the Serbs to sign the Dayton agreement.They were NATO's boots on the ground,but USA stopped the Croatian offensive,beacause they were affraid that refugees would destabilize Serbia.
@@Kumyarever since the original voice actor left, this channel has gone downhill in quality and it’s also lost its charm. The original VA is what made this channel what it is; or rather, what it was.
Never forget Srebrenica. A genocide conducted by Serbs July 1995 9000 Bosnians men from the age of 16 to 80 slaughtered in 2 weeks while the Dutch UN soldiers stood by
They where helpless and hopeless it sure is Not forgotten by the Dutch that's for sure. 😢 due to Dutchbat who had to surrender the enclave of Srebrenica, they tried to organise an refuge arrangement and fix them an escort to a save zone. But failed miserably and over 8.000 Bosnian civilians got murdered by the ethnic cleansing of Mladic. He got life sentence by the war tribunal from the international court of justice in the Hague, enforced by the Dutch government he is in jail since 2011 and currently in the national prison hospital due to old age. In 2017 Slobodan Praljak who executed Mladic commands committed suicide after 13 years of imprisonment. The Dutch government paid a retribution to all survivors and had to pay 30% of the war damage, 450 people relatives of the victims still get social security. And the international court has sentenced the Dutch military top and Dutchbat command responsible same as the command of the whole unprofor mission. The fall of Srebrenica is remembered every year on the 11th of July at the monument in the Hague with an 2hr state ceremony. Many Bosnian, Dutch people, and veterans tend to this every year.
Brilliant video for those of us who've never heard about it, i must say though i never wanted MAPS to pop up on my screen more than this. It just would've been great to see where each country is and where things were divided and taking place.
Keep it simple ..Tito’s Yugoslavia was the best during the time ..the only ones that didn’t like Tito’s Yugoslavia were ustashe (Croatian Nazis) & Cetniks (Serbian Nazis) ..that’s the main reason war broke out , however , I love all Yugoslavian people no matter the religion , unfortunately, people of our country are not at fault , its politicians who are
Tito's Yugoslavia and the Yugoslav communist party created the "muslim nation" in 1968 ( later renamed to Bosnian muslims), as before 1968 the muslims had only been a religious community in Yugoslavia ( mainly converted Croats, Serbs and also a minority of Turks). So of course the muslims in Bosnia liked communist Yugoslavia that is why they were holding up Tito's portrait in Sarajevo in 1992 while the Serbs were planning to wipe them out.
This clip has way too many pop up ads, I watched the Death ofYugoslavia (thank you All for recommending it). I watched over two nights and was glued to. It. It really explains the timeline and events and causes for an outsider to this really confusing series of conflicts that occurred. The strange thing is that many of these ethnic groups who became refugees in the US settled in the same neighborhoods. There was even a criminal gang in the Bronx who had the acronym YACS, (Yugoslavians, Albanians, Croatians).
At school in 1985 Australia we were taught Gavrillo Princip belonged to a separatist group called "The black hand". Some 20 years later a Bosnian friend told me the name of the group was "Vlada Bosna" or in English Young Bosnia. Perfect example of the victor recording history.
Actually according to any historical source he was member of "Young Bosnia". Written correctly as "Mlada Bosna", Vlada is a male name/nickname. Princip was linked with members of "The black hand" who agreed on assassination attempt, provided weapons for it, and smuggle it in Bosnia. "Young Bosnia" was a small separatist group that crafted assassination plan, Princip was one of the six assassins on that day, who was at the righ spot at right time. "The black hand" (formal name was "Unification or death") was a small group consisted of memebers of the Kingdom of Serbia officers core, who participated in coup d'état in 1903. Because of threats to the king in 1917, leaders of "The black hand" were put on military trial and were shot, and that organization was disbanded.
Another good documentary on the topic is "Srebrenica A Town Betrayed (60 min. made by Norway) not seen at CNN." It gives a different perspective with real journalism
The death of Karim Zaimovic was the worse that happen to Bosnia because he was a writer genius that die in the last month of the war.His postumus book "The secret of Raspberry Jam" is a master piece. It was so sad.😢
I grew up between Germany and (then) Yugoslavia, my father being a Donauschwabe born in Slavonia (not Slovenia). This video tries to shed light on these horrible wars but aside from a captivating voice it does not capture the horrific atrocities and all but white washes UNPROFOR, who still today are called Smurfs (for their blue helmets, being cute and doing nothing). Especially what would happen to the refugees of Srebrenica once the Smurfs were gone was at least obvious and quite possibly known by the Dutch forces and certainly by Phillipe Morrillon, the commander of UNPROFOR.
Fact check #1 Gavrillo Princep never intended to kill the Archduke’s wife Sofie. He stated many times that he felt bad that she was killed but she was between him and his target.
The crime in Bashcharshiya (Baščaršija) took place on March 1, 1992, during a wedding in front of the Old Orthodox Church in Baščaršija and in Sarajevo, when Ramiz Delalić, known as Ćelo, a pre-war criminal and member of the Muslim paramilitary unit "Green Berets", killed the groom's father, Serb Nikola, with a pistol. Gardović and wounded Serbian Orthodox priest Radenko Miković. The Muslim authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina did not want to prosecute Ramiz Delalić and his aiders, because for them it was a patriotic act. As a result, the police in Sarajevo disbanded in the following days. Delalić even became a national idol regardless of his criminal past. In almost all the American media, this event is faked, that is, presented as if the Serbs allegedly shot at the Muslim wedding guests. The propaganda machine has done its job. The murder of Baščaršija was one of the reasons for the war on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the early nineties of the 20th century. Thus, this crime is sung in Serbian modern music as "Blood Wedding".
Love this video. There was so much going on in the world at this time that most large media outlets didn’t cover it properly therefore there’s much misinformation abound surrounding this conflict. I myself was stationed in Somalia with the US armed forces in 93/94 and when I rotated home, I had enough of death and war and got lost in myself for a year or so. Therefore I didn’t pay much attention to the Balkan war. Thank you for posting this informative content

My understanding is that the Ottoman Empire's occupation of the Balkans for a long time but being preceded by a very long stretch of Europe as a whole being predominantly Catholic and the Byzantine culture out of Greece being noticeably not Roman means that.....
That demographics are hard to do for the region which is probably why they are war torn and full of strife.
I think one should say "they are not predominantly anything anymore"
But that what is more objectively clear is that Hitler and the Ottomans were aggressors, so if we're looking for people to blame for breaking whatever they used to be, there's as good a start as any I suppose.
And that's before getting into Communists and anything else that might have once had a chance at flourishing and had older roots before all these waves starting crashing into them.
"Are Ukrainians more French or more Russian?"
If you're being forced to answer that question obviously Russian, but that technically true answer may be analyzed as not a very useful or helpful answer to decide more real and serious issues.
The Balkans surely have to have a very significant Muslim population.
Well.....yeah.....but.....how did that happen.....

Wars are never wanted by any except the evil. Sane people never want war.
Unfortunately it’s coming back.
Sarajevo was not under siege. The Serbs only protected their parts of it from ethnic cleansing by the muslim forces. The Hrasnica camp is one of a series of concentration camp systems that existed on the territory of the City of Sarajevo in the early nineties of the 20th century. This casemate existed since June 1992, that is, for more than 30 months. The camp was founded by members of the so-called Muslim First Corps of the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina, more precisely the chiefs of the 4th Armored and Mechanized Brigade from Ilijah. The managers of this casemate were Fikret Prevljak and Husein Mutanov. The number of Serbs who went through the hell of this camp is around 350-400, they were mostly brought from Sarajevo settlements, and the largest part of them were civilians. More than fifty of them have been killed or are being taken as if gone. By the way, in the area of Sarajevo field, which is controlled by Muslim forces, at least 126 camps were recorded in which thousands of people, civilians of Serbian nationality, were imprisoned during the four years of the war. The camp was closed at the end of 1994 under the pressure of international observers, so the remaining prisoners were transferred to the "Silos" camp, Hacihi municipality. Today, in the area of the former camp in Hrasnica, there is no sign or any sign that there used to be a death case, because the city authorities do not allow such a thing. The truth about the suffering of the Serbs would change the mosaic of the war in Bosnia.
At that time I was 7vears old when i read about this horrific war on news paper. I will never forget that day.
I was also a 5 year old boy when it all started like you Adnan, and I do remember many parts of the war... it was hell of all of us, regardless or the religion or nation. I just wish this never happens again to anyone, and call me naive, but I think the situation nowadays is getting better and better, especially among educated people. I feel like there is no more hatred or intolerance towards other 2 nations like there was some years following the war.

I was in Sarajevo during the war and the seige. I left in 2004, years after the war and I never went back. I'm still traumatized from everything I saw there. It's hard to explain what kind of evil takes over humans to do such things.

@Sunderland95FTM I saw a lot of suffering, starvation, and killings. One of the worst memories is the day I was sick and didn't go to school. It was November 1993. That day a tank granade killed 3 of my classmates and my teacher. Someone put the plywood sheets to cover the windows so the inside is not visible. I climed up to see inside. I saw my classmate's brain on our desk were we sit. I saw other body parts and blood all over the classroom from my other classmates and friends. That feeling and that smell is hard to describe. I witnessed many more massacres but that one gives me chills even 30 years later it feels like it just happened. Wars are dirty but that war was something else.

@@Sunderland95FTM Now hear some non muslim propaganda : SARAJEVO GOLGOTHA 1996 (FEBRUARY Exodus)
The Sarajevo Golgotha or the Sarajevo Exodus is the name for the mass exodus of about 120,000 Serbs from the eastern parts of the city of Sarajevo, which began at the beginning of 1996 and lasted for two and a half months, until March 1996. This exodus came as a result of the betrayal of national interests by the Serbian delegation that went to the USA for the signing of the Dayton Peace Treaty in December 1995. The eastern parts of Sarajevo, which were inhabited mainly by the Serbian population, were sacrificed in North America, for the sake of "peace" and international recognition of the Republic of Serbia. That is, two entities were created in Bosnia and Herzegovina, according to the ratio of 51-49%.
At the beginning of the 21st century, Sarajevo became a purely Muslim city (with over 97% in which the Serbs are besieged and where the historical existence of the Serbs is being erased every day, in full view of non-national representatives. Twenty years after this exodus, it was the first time that it was publicly commemorated with an appropriate program in Bijel'inI. Everything up to that point was at the local level, where the people of Sarajevo fled: Zvornik, Bratunac, Vlasenica, Brčko, Višegrad...

My co worker at my workplace Milan, was under the command of Dragon Vikic. He told me how during the beginning of the siege he weighed 210 lb and when he reunited with his wife in Germany she couldn't recognize him because he said he was 94 lbs and he was too skinny and almost unrecognizable. When he finally reunited with his son, his son didn't recognize him and was 6 at the time when they reunited. He explained how he stayed behind to watch over his house in Sarajevo he told me that he had to smear candle wax on his finger tips fingers on his fingertips just to have light. He told me stories of how snipers would shoot at when he would go to fill his water jugs but they wouldn't shoot him, instead the would aim for the water jugs so that all of the water would leak out. He told me how spent many sleepless nights during the shelling and how he spent nearly all of four years in darkness from no electricity in his building. He suffered many years of PTSD and he told me how the sight of steak made him lose his temper. I don't know why, I'm assuming it was the sight of dead flesh and blood. He said he just got so used to not eating. He often tells me stories of Tito and how life used to be. He is very calm and I enjoy learning Bosnian-Serb words. He's now living happily and he's always a joy to be around. It's men like him who are a good role model to live around 🇺🇸🤝🏻🇧🇦

Although I was also a US soldier at this time I did not deploy to this region, rather other foreign lands. Have studied this war since we first became aware of the escalation of conflict and am of the opinion this is the most complicated open declaration of hostilities in post WWII times, and the ineptest involvement of superpowers seeking to intervene. One could research every detail of the painstakingly collected history and still not understand it completely, nor be left with the impression that the global community learned lasting lessons from this epic tragedy.

I will tell what I know. I worked with a man who had a funny name Sajo for the longest time I thought his name was pronounced with j like joe and he let me keep going like this for probably about a week. And then I learned how to pronounce his name he was a great guy very personable very popular. And he told me his story he had an older brother who had moved here along with his sister his older brother owned a taxi cab company. He asked me if I knew who slobodan milosevic I told him that I did that I understood the Sarajevo war a little bit. He proceeded to tell me that his his family was put in a line his mother father and grandparents were all directed to go to the left or the right I don't remember . What I do remember is that the three young children went the opposite direction they never saw their family ever again just like in the concentration camps of world war II. They were brought to the United States and they live a good life now but every once in awhile I think about this guy that I couldn't pronounce his name and he must still think about that day. If you see this you know who I am you remember my son my son was very interested in your BMW thank you for taking great care of my son when he would go to visit you on his bicycle I'll never forget you or your great friendship.

The Hrasnica camp is one of a series of concentration camp systems that existed on the territory of the City of Sarajevo in the early nineties of the 20th century. This casemate existed since June 1992, that is, for more than 30 months. The camp was founded by members of the so-called Muslim First Corps of the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina, more precisely the chiefs of the 4th Armored and Mechanized Brigade from Ilijah. The managers of this casemate were Fikret Prevljak and Husein Mutanov. The number of Serbs who went through the hell of this camp is around 350-400, they were mostly brought from Sarajevo settlements, and the largest part of them were civilians. More than fifty of them have been killed or are being taken as if gone. By the way, in the area of Sarajevo field, which is controlled by Muslim forces, at least 126 camps were recorded in which thousands of people, civilians of Serbian nationality, were imprisoned during the four years of the war. The camp was closed at the end of 1994 under the pressure of international observers, so the remaining prisoners were transferred to the "Silos" camp, Hacihi municipality. Today, in the area of the former camp in Hrasnica, there is no sign or any sign that there used to be a death case, because the city authorities do not allow such a thing. The truth about the suffering of the Serbs would change the mosaic of the war in Bosnia.
SARAJEVO GOLGOTHA 1996 (FEBRUARY Exodus)
The Sarajevo Golgotha or the Sarajevo Exodus is the name for the mass exodus of about 120,000 Serbs from the eastern parts of the city of Sarajevo, which began at the beginning of 1996 and lasted for two and a half months, until March 1996. This exodus came as a result of the betrayal of national interests by the Serbian delegation that went to the USA for the signing of the Dayton Peace Treaty in December 1995. The eastern parts of Sarajevo, which were inhabited mainly by the Serbian population, were sacrificed in North America, for the sake of "peace" and international recognition of the Republic of Serbia. That is, two entities were created in Bosnia and Herzegovina, according to the ratio of 51-49%.
At the beginning of the 21st century, Sarajevo became a purely Muslim city (with over 97% in which the Serbs are besieged and where the historical existence of the Serbs is being erased every day, in full view of non-national representatives. Twenty years after this exodus, it was the first time that it was publicly commemorated with an appropriate program in Bijel'inI. Everything up to that point was at the local level, where the people of Sarajevo fled: Zvornik, Bratunac, Vlasenica, Brčko, Višegrad...
I was at the largest NATO command in Germany at Heidelberg (when NATO still had all its combat power). When the war broke out, everyone began working on a plan to go in and stop the war. Sadly and tragically, the United Nations went in instead. They allowed themselves to be stopped trying to get aid in, they stood by when their own peacekeepers were taken hostage, and they stood by when paramilitary units walked past "peacekeepers" and slaughtered everyone in their "safe havens" and they stood by while Sarajevo was being shelled relentlessly. I have had nothing but contempt for the UN ever since. They have never kept the peace ANYWHERE they have been deployed, most recently in Lebanon where they allow Hezbollah to repeatedly attack Israel. They are the most useless organization to have ever been created, and why the nations of the world continue to keep funding them goes beyond insanity. We should kick the UN out of New York-let them go to Europe and fail there. Again.
Or maybe thats what they were created to do ?
What’s the difference between hezbollah and Bosnian mujahideen again Mr peacekeeper?
I heard the same from a RAF senior officer who was at NATO HQ at the time. The European armies were prepared to go in with NATO logistics and were stopped by Clinton . Then in his second term he decided to go in , and say only the US would save the situation . Said RAF officer was very bitter about this and was convinced they could have stopped the war years earlier.

I am Pole, moved to US in 2004. I had worked for 4 years with a Bosnian man, he lost in that war two little children killed by Serbs. They (him and his wife) decided they didnt want to live where their kids were killed. Moved to Chicago for x number of years, she was a shell of a human being, stayed home, depressed, didnt have a job, blaming herself (I never had an audacity how their children died, somebody speculated by a bomb). Obviously they never got over it, over that terrible loss, she decided she wanted to move back to their "old country" to be closer to kids' graves around 2008 or so. He went with her...
Im sure when they got back to Bosnia it only got worse. Just as dead then as they were when they left. Idk.how to put it, but i imagine it was a last resort to find some kind of relief and it must have been awful when they didnt find it. I imagine even worse than the US, considering how so many war criminals were being released. Places like Mostar, you go a few streets over and see a croat who executed men women and children

I had a neighbour, middle-aged man, who served the Dutch militairy in Bosnia. He recently ended his own life. He was always asking for favours and begging for money, but suffering from ptsd and alcoholism and some other stuff might have you end up that way I guess.

He told me a story of how he had to go clean up a building that had been hit with grenades. When he got there it was a nursery and he had to clean up the bodies of babies from the walls and ceiling. He also told me about how he befriended a child who would visit him daily. He would give him sweets and whatever he had. One day he didn't turn up. He knew he was dead. From that time on I never knew my brother. I knew a soldier, hardened to protect his own emotional breakdown.

This video has a "Muslim" and "Eastern" bent to it. Yugoslavia was made up of almost entirely white, CHRISTIAN people! Slovenes and Croats are Catholic, while Serbs are Orthodox. The only Muslims were the Kosovars and Bosniaks. This isn't prejudice, it's just fact.
Yugoslavia had White Muslims too.Muslims can be white too.
The very same ingredients are stirring in modern UK. History will always repeat itself!
"Almost entirely" is a term i would use for maybe Japanese people in Japan, nearing 98% of the population. Where as Yugoslavia was nearly 10% Muslim, and in parts of Bosnia they made up nearly half the population. They also made up large minorities in Montenegro and Macedonia. So to say Yugoslavia was "almost entirely" Christian?? Lol. You wouldn't happen to be Serbian, ayyy???
And those so cold Muslim are just Serbs and Croats thet ottomans made Muslim on fors when thet rule Balkans
Yugoslavia had a huge Muslim population
None of this has been forgotten mate, also Croatia was never a muslic country.

Serbia had the Greater Serbia of all Serbs in one state. It wasn’t enough. They wanted total domination of all others, worse yet, they couldn’t stomach people they perceived as inferior such as Bosniaks and Albanians to rule over Serbs in their respective territories that Serbs were in minority. In Kosovo, after Milosevic removed the autonomy, Serbs were no more than 15% of the population but accounted for 95% of state employees, managers, police etc. Once Slovenia and Croatia saw what it was done, they saw the writing in the wall and moved full force towards independence. Bosnia followed suit.

Thank you for providing this video
While this was noted quickly at the beginning, I think further emphasis and time should have been invested into explaining how it was the Serbians who were the victims of their neighbors, who sided with the Nazis, in WWII, to the point of there being a whole death camp there that was just as bad as anything in Poland, and barely ever mentioned in Western media. It's just a little strange to me that the first time in this piece that the concept of "thinking of their differently ethnic neighbors as sub-human" comes up is in reference to Serbians in Bosnia in the 90's... it's not like the same or much worse happened to their parents/grandparents within living memory. That doesn't excuse anything of course, but it is rather vital context also.
There's also a very clear pattern with NATO in Europe: Did you collaborate or ally with the Nazis in WWII? Then NATO will back you up, support you, potentially get the intelligence agencies involved if you can't legitimately win an election in your country (See Ukraine in 2014! Or Italy in the 70's lol), because Nazi collaboration means you HATE Russia and/or Communism, and how funny those happen to also be the USA's biggest obsessions.
Well said.

It’s not has if the Serbs didn’t take their own brutal revenge on the Croats after 1945. The communists oversaw the massacre of 300.000 Croats during the first years of communist rule in Yugoslavia.

Sooooo many inaccuracies in this video - Croatians are not predominantly Muslim, they are Roman Catholic, There are hardly any Albanians in Vojvodina (0.12% of the population) yet Vojvodina and Kosovo i Metohija are described as both having Albanian majorities. The biggest piece of history which was overlooked was the genocide of the Serbs (350,000+dead) by the Puppet Independent State of Croatia (the ruling ustasha) during WW2, with only a passing reference to Jews (30,000) and Roma gypsys (26-29,000). This fact was still in living memory for older Serbs living in Croatia (all 581,663 of them) when Croatia declared independence in 1991 - so legitimately a lot of Serbs were worried about history repeating, those in Bosnia and indeed Serbia too.
Serbs were always claiming to be victims even when they are killing women and children as they did in Eastern Bosnia when they were filling houses full of pregnant women and small children and burning them all down.
I suggest you look up the long list of Serbian Chetnik war crimes during WW2 which includes among other things the bayonetting of Croatian babies and small Croatian children as what happened in the "Gata Massacre" which happened on the 1st of October 1942.
@@TheSouth-j7f two wrongs doesn’t make a right. Atrocities occurred on all sides but the economy of scales do not equate.
@@Chetnik1978 The Serbs directly created the Ustasha organisation after murdering the Croatia leadership in 1928 and after 20 years of terror and brutal Serbian dictatorship before WW2.
I don’t want to justify Serbs because they did a lot of crimes as well as Croats and Muslims but the fact USA destroyed Yugoslavia and even made Kosovo independent with their military base proves that US demolished the only one Russian ally in Europe. Today Russia fights against NATO expansion which started from Yugoslavia war and Kosovo precedent.
The US did not destroy Yugoslavia. By the time the US got involved Yugoslavia was already dead.

Really interesting ! I was born in 1984 so I was just a kid/young teenager when these events happen but still was aware of the war . I needed a little explanation ! Thank you
I'm a Serb/Montenegrin-American and while visiting Yugoslavia in 1990 I stayed with a Serbian family in Sarajevo's suburb of Ilidza. Previously I befriended three Bosnian families from Sarajevo who were vacationing together in popular Croatian resort-island of Hvar. One family was Muslim, one Croatian and one Serbian. I spent the entire summer in Serbia, Bosnia and Croatia and saw no indication of any ethnic hatred as everyone got along great. Then the war started! Serbs were eventually expelled from Ilidza as whole Hell broke loose in Bosnia. For the uninformed, the Norwegian documentary ("Srebrenica the town betrayed") could shed some light on situation in Bosnia at that time!? It's unfortunately for Yugoslavia to fall apart as united we could have finally beat the United States in Basketball at the Olympics in Paris this year!
p.s. I absolutely don't believe in "rape hotels" as military and police wouldn't allow such thing - pure propaganda!
During the intro you made a statement essentially saying that the atrocities that occurred in the Yugoslavian wars of the 90’s hadn’t been seen since the 3rd Reich…or something to that effect?
What about all of the atrocities which led to the torture and deaths of millions of
People throughout the Soviet Union, East Bloc Communist countries, and all of the satellite puppets for the CCCP, CCP, North Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, African countries and Latin countries, between May 8, 1945 and the end of the 20th century?
The war was forgotten, but who brought the Mujahedin to Bosnia and Herzegovina was not forgotten
The crime in Bosanski Brod refers to the murders of ethnic Serbian civilians from March to October 1992 in Bosanski Brod (in the north of Bosnia and Herzegovina), which were committed by the Croatian armed forces in cooperation with members of Muslim paramilitary groups, and later by Muslim so-called Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Due to its monstrosity, this crime against Serb civilians was one of the most horrific scenes seen in war-torn Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 1990s. Crimes against Serbian CIVILIANS have never been adequately prosecuted, farces have been made since the beginning of the year, and the sentences imposed by the courts on the victims were small, which confirms the fact that the State Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina mocks both justice and the victims.The Hague Tribunal was not interested in prosecuting the Criminals, and the Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina deliberately delayed these cases for years.
Even the representatives of the European Union in Bosnia and Herzegovina are not pressuring the authorities in Saratov to prosecute the criminals, even though the directives on which the EU was created have that obligation. In the area of Bosanski Brod, Croatian paramilitary formations had 10 camps, where less than 2,000 Serbs were imprisoned. That is, in the eight months of occupation in Bosanski Brod, at least 500 Serbs were killed. There are also well-founded suspicions that criminals removed organs from Serbian victims and sold them on the black market throughout Europe, especially in Germany.
How many people have gone trough Manjaca , Omarska i others? How many people were killed in bombardment of Dubrovnikl? How many people have been killed in siege of Vukovar? How many people were killed in western Slavonia? This Balkan war can't be viewed as a separate war in Slovenia and separate war in Croatia and separate war in Bosnia. Common link in all of those was Serbian Government trying to enlarge Serbia within a confusion within of a break up of a country. They promoted minority serbs in those republics to establish their own regions and that resulted with balvan revolution in 91, in Krajina and Borovo/Vukovar area. And, just one interesting information...percentage of serbian population in Vukovar right now, 30 years after, is roughly the same as it was before the war. So much about the claim that they are being discriminated against.

@@LunarWolf-H8 Now it is Bosanski Brod? As far as I know, after occupied by the Yugoslav army, it have become Srpski Brod. Serb nationalists , through wisdom of Yugoslav army tanks nad artillery, tried to completely erase bosnian national identity. Court in Dusseldorf ( case against Nikola Jorgic, serbian soladier ) decleared him guilty formGenicide over Bosniaks in Grapska - Doboj, just south from Bosanski Brod. Genocide was not reserved for Srebrrenica only, it was all over Bosnia and Herzegovina .
@@adnanbehrem7132 no such thing as bosnian identity. You are Serbs who converted to islam and gained a nation thanks to Tito
@@LunarWolf-H8 Your ridiculous propaganda and falsification of history is no longer going anywhere! Who are you to deny identity to us Bosnians??? Because of your poor propaganda and falsification of history, you committed genocide. You found yourself denying the country, people and history that is older than you! Thank God we have historical writings, especially of the Bosnian Franciscans. There were no Serbs in Bosnia until the Turks settled you when they conquered the Balkans. Until then, all the inhabitants of Bosnia were called Bosnians. Bosnia existed as a medieval kingdom. During Tito's time, we only restored statehood.
Man this was BRIEF! There's so muchidsing from this. Why not, with the excellent work this channel does, do a long form documentary??
This documentary didn't say that Croatian army liberated huge parts of Croatia and Bosnia,thus forcing the Serbs to sign the Dayton agreement.They were NATO's boots on the ground,but USA stopped the Croatian offensive,beacause they were affraid that refugees would destabilize Serbia.

Thanks for making this.
very brutal and very forgotten
To all the Peacekeepers that served in Bosnia thank you for your service if it wasn't for your sacrifice this comment probably wouldn't exist.
Especially those smuggling coffee in UN vehicles

Hmm, I like how the video is really low volume, then an ad plays and attempts to blow out your eardrums 😅
Finally some good content!
Its full of mistakes tho. Wouldnt recommend watching this.
@@Kumyarever since the original voice actor left, this channel has gone downhill in quality and it’s also lost its charm. The original VA is what made this channel what it is; or rather, what it was.
Keep these vids coming, love them and the commentator.
It''s an Ai narrator and this video is most likely written by AI and it has no important info Seek better sources.

Never forget Srebrenica. A genocide conducted by Serbs July 1995 9000 Bosnians men from the age of 16 to 80 slaughtered in 2 weeks while the Dutch UN soldiers stood by
Yes, but genocide in Potočari happened before Srebrenica where 10000 Serbs were killed
@@antebratincevic6764Serbs are liars! That never happened, just accept the truth.
They where helpless and hopeless it sure is Not forgotten by the Dutch that's for sure. 😢 due to Dutchbat who had to surrender the enclave of Srebrenica, they tried to organise an refuge arrangement and fix them an escort to a save zone.
But failed miserably and over 8.000 Bosnian civilians got murdered by the ethnic cleansing of Mladic. He got life sentence by the war tribunal from the international court of justice in the Hague, enforced by the Dutch government he is in jail since 2011 and currently in the national prison hospital due to old age. In 2017 Slobodan Praljak who executed Mladic commands committed suicide after 13 years of imprisonment.
The Dutch government paid a retribution to all survivors and had to pay 30% of the war damage, 450 people relatives of the victims still get social security. And the international court has sentenced the Dutch military top and Dutchbat command responsible same as the command of the whole unprofor mission.
The fall of Srebrenica is remembered every year on the 11th of July at the monument in the Hague with an 2hr state ceremony. Many Bosnian, Dutch people, and veterans tend to this every year.
Brilliant video for those of us who've never heard about it, i must say though i never wanted MAPS to pop up on my screen more than this. It just would've been great to see where each country is and where things were divided and taking place.
I find it interesting that religion gets blamed a lot which really is an excuse for man to do whst he wants to do.
Serbian author Dobrica Ćosić stated that...a lie is a Serbian national interest...and that...A lie is a form of Serbian patriotism...
accordung to this guy , croatia is mostly muslim.... its catholic.
Keep it simple ..Tito’s Yugoslavia was the best during the time ..the only ones that didn’t like Tito’s Yugoslavia were ustashe (Croatian Nazis) & Cetniks (Serbian Nazis) ..that’s the main reason war broke out , however , I love all Yugoslavian people no matter the religion , unfortunately, people of our country are not at fault , its politicians who are
Tito's Yugoslavia and the Yugoslav communist party created the "muslim nation" in 1968 ( later renamed to Bosnian muslims), as before 1968 the muslims had only been a religious community in Yugoslavia ( mainly converted Croats, Serbs and also a minority of Turks).
So of course the muslims in Bosnia liked communist Yugoslavia that is why they were holding up Tito's portrait in Sarajevo in 1992 while the Serbs were planning to wipe them out.
I remember the massive demonstrations in London every weekend. And the unbiased, matter of fact, BBC coverage was 24/7.
This clip has way too many pop up ads, I watched the Death ofYugoslavia (thank you All for recommending it). I watched over two nights and was glued to. It. It really explains the timeline and events and causes for an outsider to this really confusing series of conflicts that occurred.
The strange thing is that many of these ethnic groups who became refugees in the US settled in the same neighborhoods. There was even a criminal gang in the Bronx who had the acronym YACS, (Yugoslavians, Albanians, Croatians).
At school in 1985 Australia we were taught Gavrillo Princip belonged to a separatist group called "The black hand".
Some 20 years later a Bosnian friend told me the name of the group was "Vlada Bosna" or in English Young Bosnia.
Perfect example of the victor recording history.
That is not true ... He was a part of the Black Hand organisation ... you cannot believe any random person lol
Mlada Bosna(Young Bosnia)
Actually according to any historical source he was member of "Young Bosnia". Written correctly as "Mlada Bosna", Vlada is a male name/nickname. Princip was linked with members of "The black hand" who agreed on assassination attempt, provided weapons for it, and smuggle it in Bosnia. "Young Bosnia" was a small separatist group that crafted assassination plan, Princip was one of the six assassins on that day, who was at the righ spot at right time. "The black hand" (formal name was "Unification or death") was a small group consisted of memebers of the Kingdom of Serbia officers core, who participated in coup d'état in 1903. Because of threats to the king in 1917, leaders of "The black hand" were put on military trial and were shot, and that organization was disbanded.
Another good documentary on the topic is "Srebrenica A Town Betrayed (60 min. made by Norway) not seen at CNN." It gives a different perspective with real journalism
I concur. Please watch it.
Number 1 problem: too much damn talking and meetings going on by U.N. bureaucrats while civillians were killed. What a useless organization
It's not Forgotten
The death of Karim Zaimovic was the worse that happen to Bosnia because he was a writer genius that die in the last month of the war.His postumus book "The secret of Raspberry Jam" is a master piece. It was so sad.😢
I grew up between Germany and (then) Yugoslavia, my father being a Donauschwabe born in Slavonia (not Slovenia). This video tries to shed light on these horrible wars but aside from a captivating voice it does not capture the horrific atrocities and all but white washes UNPROFOR, who still today are called Smurfs (for their blue helmets, being cute and doing nothing). Especially what would happen to the refugees of Srebrenica once the Smurfs were gone was at least obvious and quite possibly known by the Dutch forces and certainly by Phillipe Morrillon, the commander of UNPROFOR.
I think you don't have a clear idea of what you're talking about..
Fact check #1 Gavrillo Princep never intended to kill the Archduke’s wife Sofie. He stated many times that he felt bad that she was killed but she was between him and his target.
I'm Croat from that hole and I always like Austria just like my grandparents.
The crime in Bashcharshiya (Baščaršija) took place on March 1, 1992, during a wedding in front of the Old Orthodox Church in Baščaršija and in Sarajevo, when Ramiz Delalić, known as Ćelo, a pre-war criminal and member of the Muslim paramilitary unit "Green Berets", killed the groom's father, Serb Nikola, with a pistol. Gardović and wounded Serbian Orthodox priest Radenko Miković. The Muslim authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina did not want to prosecute Ramiz Delalić and his aiders, because for them it was a patriotic act. As a result, the police in Sarajevo disbanded in the following days.
Delalić even became a national idol regardless of his criminal past. In almost all the American media, this event is faked, that is, presented as if the Serbs allegedly shot at the Muslim wedding guests. The propaganda machine has done its job. The murder of Baščaršija was one of the reasons for the war on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the early nineties of the 20th century. Thus, this crime is sung in Serbian modern music as "Blood Wedding".

Great video 👍
Love this video. There was so much going on in the world at this time that most large media outlets didn’t cover it properly therefore there’s much misinformation abound surrounding this conflict.
I myself was stationed in Somalia with the US armed forces in 93/94 and when I rotated home, I had enough of death and war and got lost in myself for a year or so. Therefore I didn’t pay much attention to the Balkan war. Thank you for posting this informative content
Truth is missing.
Anyone else have a Yugo car? I did, that little turd hated hills😂
Watch the 1987 comedy film “Dragnet” with Dan Akroyd and Tom Hanks. There’s a pretty funny Yugo car cameo.
