The Serbian Nationalist Movement: The War In Bosnia

Improved Essays
Come on guys; let’s take a trip with me,
And learn a little about Europe and Russia history,
During WW11 concentration camps in Croatia set up killing Serbs, Gypsies, and Jews,
The whole world was shocked by what they saw on the news.
Yugoslavia means “Land of south slaves”
All the natives that lived down there were insanely brave
In 1987 Slobodan Milosevic was sent to end the ethnic tensions that made Serbs & Albanians heated,
But instead just said “Serbs will no longer be mistreated!”
Then started the Serbian Nationalist Movement,
Which made the break up of Yugoslavia and it was not an improvement
1992 was a big year for everyone
Bosnia, Herzegovina and Macedonia got independence and a Bosnian war begun
The War in Bosnia caused many

    ‘The Banality of “Ethnic War”’ aims to debate the all against all theory of ethnic conflict. Within this piece, Mueller argues that ethnic war, in the sense of the Hobbesian theory, does not exist, and this generalized theory represents non-ethnic conflict (p.42). Mueller’s article provided several strengths, which makes the piece of literature a thorough yet interesting analysis of ethnic conflict. Mueller uses the cases of Yugoslavia and Rwanda to explore how ethnicity mobilizing device, played a role in the construction of the appropriate conditions, needed to conduct this particular form of violence (p.43). First, Mueller highlights another perspective by another analyst, Robert Kaplan.…

    In this essay I will argue why the Yugoslavian separation came about violently and the Czechoslovakian separation was achieved rather peacefully. Yugoslavia separated violently because they faced what is known as primordialist nationalism where several ethnicities that had different cultural, linguistic, and religious ideas which led them to want different outcomes of separation where they were unable to negotiate. The separation of Czechoslovakia was rather different because they were faced with what is known as instrumentalist nationalism where the conflict resonated from economic and political problems; the Czechs and Slovaks believed that if they negotiate and nationalize into two different states they would economically benefit from this…

    If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must man be of learning from experience. Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it. From the American responses during the Holocaust and the Japanese Americans being put in concentration camps to what is currently happening with the Syrian refugees. Now fear and anxiety about whether to admit many refugees or turn them away has put the attention on the many regretful decisions made by U.S. officials before, during and now after World War ll. The Holocaust was one of the most horrific time periods from 1933- 1945 where the mass murder of some 6 million Jews along with homosexuals and gypsies by the order of Adolf Hitler.…

    During the twentieth century, Europe was the stage of an exceptional amount of violence, experiencing numerous wars. In the course of these wars and interwar periods, millions died both in battle and as a result of governmental policies. Notably, the years leading up to World War Two and the several years following the Second World War, saw a great amount of violence in Eastern Europe. While a globally dominant Western perspective usually sets Western Europe as the stage for the atrocities which occurred during this period of violence, it was in fact in Eastern Europe where considerably more of the violence war endured. The novel Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin (2010) by Timothy Snyder, Snyder examines, primarily through secondary sources, (Ahonen 6), that the area which he titles the “bloodlands”, which includes Poland, the Baltic States, Soviet Belarus, Soviet Ukraine and western Soviet Russia, (Snyder xi).…

    To End a War drafts the causal factors that produced the Yugoslav crisis and covers in detail the successes and disappointments of the various parties involved in the dialogs to end the conflict. The second chapter, entitled "The Greatest Collective Failure...," is conceivably the most interesting section of the book because it is here that Holbrooke challenges to make sense of the origins of "the greatest collective security failure of the West since the 1930s. " According to Holbrooke, there is no easy description for the events that took place between 1990 and 1992. As a substitute, there are five major factors that brought about this misfortune.…

    I disagree that nationalism is inherently dangerous because it creates and encourages xenophobic attitude and policies. Nationalism does encourages fear and terror within a nation, but that does not mean it is dangerous. That fear and fright that nationalism creates, keeps a nation safe and secure. It also gives that same nation, hope and pride. Nationalism provides strength and motivation for citizens, so that one can be beneficial for their nation…
