The Bosnian War Explained: Inside The Collapse Of Yugoslavia

After the collapse of Yugoslavia, the Balkans descended into the bloodiest European conflict since WW2. The Bosnian War tore neighbors apart, resulting in horrific ethnic cleansing, a grueling three-year siege, and the Srebrenica genocide. With UN peacekeepers left powerless to stop the violence, it ultimately took NATO's Operation Deliberate Force to force a peace agreement. Featuring harrowing firsthand accounts from survivors, UN soldiers, and forensic investigators, this documentary explores the tragic reality of Europe's forgotten war and the deep scars it left behind. 0:00 A History of Contested Borders 1:51 The Tinderbox of Yugoslavia 5:37 The Collapse of a Union 10:10 The Outbreak of Total War 13:50 Caught in a Powder Keg 20:34 The Failure of Diplomacy 34:06 Fighting Fire with Fire War Stories is your one-stop shop for all things military history.
