*The war in Bosnia and Croatia from 1992-95 and that in Kosovo from 1996-99
pitted various ethnic/religious communities against each other within the
boundaries of Yugoslavia, which dissolved in the 1990s. Serbian hegemony in
the former federated state was shattered in each territory. Orthodox
Christian Serbs were forced to flee as refugees from what became the
independent countries of Catholic Croatia, Muslim-dominated
Bosnia-Herzegovina, and the fledgling state of Albanian-ethnic Muslim
Kosovo. In addition to the propaganda aspect of the wars that portrayed the
Serbs as aggressors, murderers, and rapists, the compelling Serb loss of
life and territory, stature and power, constituted the harsh political
dénouement of the Balkan wars. *
