Bosnia and Herzegovina

reason as to why the West can do something the East can’t. The United States of America (USA) used their power to manipulate the world into believing what they are doing was right. When the NATO and the USA intervened to stop the Genocide in Bosnia-Herzegovina this was considered humanitarian intervention, it was considered good, an act of heroism by the west. So why when Vietnam stopped the Khmer Rouge was it not considered a humanitarian intervention. It is because the US “bitterly opposed…

The direct cause of World War 1 was the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand and wife Sophie on June 28, 1914. The assassination was done by a Siberian Nationalist terrorist group. The first attempt failed earlier in the day. Gavrilo Princip later accomplishes the group's goal There were other causes building up behind the scenes. They all played a role in what happened in World War 1. I believe the root cause was national competition. Competition factored in heavily. Imperialism played a role…

and the effects of war. There were a few causes of the first world war. One of those causes was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand at Sarajevo on 28 June 1914. Archduke traveled to Sarajevo to inspect the imperial armed forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina, annexed by Austria-Hungary in 1908. The annexation had angered Serbian nationalists, who believed the territories should be part of Serbia. The angry nationalists had made up a plan to kill Archduke during his visit. Another cause of…

In the source, Doug Brooks the Founder and President of International Stability Operations Association states that the only countries that provide peacekeeping services during conflicts are among the poorest countries within the world, therefore there is no surprise why the UN peacekeeping keeps failing. Many individuals would argue that the United Nations in many situations has not done enough to resolve crises with the use of peacekeeping services since on occasion it fails and ends the lives…

war. Austria-Hungary and Serbia were responsible for the start of World War 1. Austria- Hungary and Serbia’s conflict caused World War 1. Franz Ferdinand was the heir to the Austro- Hungarian throne and was very disliked by the Serbians. Bosnia and Herzegovina were added to Austria- Hungary in 1908, but these countries wanted to be independant and a part of newly formed Serbian Nation. Serbia and the Turks fought 2 wars and in the end Serbia lost its independence. Franz Ferdinand decided to…

Stereotyping Speech by Muanza G. T Good afternoon, I would first like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land that we meet at, the Yarrgera people. A few weeks ago we heard on live television Sonia Kruger give her point of view regarding Muslim immigration. She stated she wanted a ban on Muslim immigration because she wants to “feel safe”. It is therefore ironic that many people no longer feel safe expressing what is rapidly becoming a commonly held view — for fear of being…

further ado, allow their causes and their effects through the years to be revealed. WW1 was caused by a power grab by the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary on October 6, 1908, in which they announced the annexation of the neighboring countries if Bosnia & Herzegovina. Unfortunately, the country of Serbia had also wanted to annex the two countries and an enraged group of Serbian nationalists set out to assassinate the Austro-Hungarian Archduke, the heir to the throne. On June 28, 1914, a member…

ethnic conflict between Serbs and Croats in Croatia from 1991-1995/1998 resulted in civil war which concluded with the near total expulsion of Serbs from Croatia and very high casualties reached genocidal dimensions. Furthermore, the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina from 1991-1995 – ascertained by the International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia in the Hague – resulted in the systematic massacre of over 8,000 Bosnian Muslims, largely unprepared for…

war which was once believed to end all the bloodshed arose. It was known to be “The Great War.” This war was ignited through the assassination of the heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, while he was visiting Saravejo at Bosnia. The killing done by a Serbian Black Hand member started the conflict between two powerful opposing groups, The Triple Alliance and The Triple Entente. The Triple Alliance was comprised of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy, while The Triple…

When we hear the word “genocide” we at once remember the Armenian Genocide and the Holocaust. About 6 million of people became victims of the Holocaust, 1.5 million of Armenians were killed in the Armenian Genocide, these huge numbers will always remain in our minds. A lot of people lost their families, homes and the ability to live in peace. These actions, by no means, left imprint on our ancestors whose peaceful life was disrupted. The problem of genocide is currently central problem of our…
