Bosnians

As was previously mentioned, the Balkan War reflects one way of historicizing mass murder. The Bosnian Serb soldiers and militiamen commenced a campaign of compiling lists of leading Muslim and Croat intellectuals, musicians, and professionals summarily executing them led by President Slobodan Milosevic and General Ratko Mladic from 1992- 1995. The system of control extended beyond inflicting bodily harm and encompassed systems intended to restrict the life and movement of non- Serb civilians.…

political and military leaders, and those assassinations did not result in a world war. The war had only begun because of the idea from the Austro-Hungarian army that they needed to declare war on Serbia to get revenge because Gavrilo Princip, who was a Bosnian Serb member assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Before the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, numerous European military and political leaders wanted to maintain peace. The only reason that the peace could not be kept is…

quickly became a war zone. Bosnian Serbs launched a military campaign to eliminate the country of its Muslim civilian population. Which was supported by Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic who help push their campaign of ethnic cleansing by torture, confinement in camps, imprisonment, rape, murder, robbery, and forced displacement. As a result, an estimated 100,000 people were massacred and displaced more than two million. The height of the killing became known as the Bosnian genocide, the largest…

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 of the Young Bosnians movement, Gavrilo Princip, shot both Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie Chotek, in the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo. Enraged by this action, the Austro-Hungarians blamed Serbia. Although this has never been proven, and issued an ultimatum, all but one of the conditions were agreed to…

Zlata and Lydia are 2 survivors that are very much alike and different in many ways. They both had to do what was necessary to survive during wars. Zlata and Lydia both did not know if they were going to live or die because at any moment Zlata could have been bombed and Lydia could have been put in a gas chamber. They also both had to get food somehow for instance Zlata had to go out and get food being careful with what she did because at any moment she could be shot and Lydia had to sneak in…

the terrors she has endured. Around the world the act of intolerance is taking place. From intolerance of religion beliefs, race, ethnicity, gender and financial standing, the most infamous examples of intolerance is the Holocaust. Similar to the Bosnian genocide (Yugoslavian War) there were two different beliefs conflicting. In the Holocaust the Germans, who were under the rule of Adolf Hitler, ultimately decided to rid of Jews due to their skewed perception of them. In this instance the Jews…

I worked with Professor Goran Simic, one of the leading experts in the field of transitional justice in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). We collected evidence related to the corruption of the Bosnian police and reported our findings to higher authorities. In addition, we formed a public Facebook page that people with similar interests used to post their own experiences and possible reparation methods to reduce police corruption in BiH. Furthermore…

while on the contrary Bosnia consumes 3,259kWh. Those statistics really brought to my attention how much we use and how it is an issue. Although we do have a much larger population, as a nation we could work on better ways to become more efficient. Bosnians on average will most likely die 3.23 years sooner. Amra had mentioned how due to poor health care people tend to not worry about how long of a life they will live, and care more about living in the moment. Both Bosnia and Taiwan had a much…

Armenians, Jews, Cambodians, Tutsis, Bosnians, Croatians, and Darfuri are all victims of mass murders, also referred to as genocide. All of the genocides corresponding to these people have all happened in less than 100 years. How could we have let this many people suffer? All of these people have suffered, but they will not be the last. Genocide will never be stopped because, people hate each other, people follow others, and people do not always follow the laws that are put in place in their…
