Describe Bosnia here.
Where to start? [[Slovenia]] and [[Croatia]] had both managed to secede from Yugoslavia with relatively minimal fuss in Slovenia's case and rather more fuss in Croatia's. The secession of Bosnia-Hercegovina was something else entirely.
Without getting too involved -- partially because it's far too complicated and partially because [[Too Soon|it's still very sore]] -- there were three ethnic groups living in Bosnia-Hercegovina. Bosniaks (referred to at the time as "Bosnian Muslims"), Croats and Serbs. As a rough rule of thumb, the Bosniaks wanted independence, the Croats and Serbs wanted their bits of Bosnia to break away and join up with Croatia and Serbia proper.
They fought. A lot. Eventually, a peace agreement was signed in Dayton, Ohio, which came up with a bit of a compromise that everyone could just about live with.
