The Yugoslav Wars were a series of violent conflicts fought in the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia between 1991 and 1995 (with wars and ensuing infighting still continuing within the region). The wars were complex: they have been characterized by bitter ethnic conflicts among the peoples of the former Yugoslavia, mostly between Serbs (and to a lesser extent, Montenegrins) on the one side and Croats and Bosniaks (and to a lesser degree, Slovenes) on the other; but also between Bosniaks and Croats in Bosnia (in addition to a separate conflict fought between rival Bosniak factions in Bosnia). The wars ended in various stages, mostly resulting in full international recognition of new sovereign territories, but with massive economic disruption to the successor states. Often described as Europe's deadliest conflicts since World War II, they have become infamous for the war crimes they involved, including mass ethnic cleansing. They were the first conflicts since World War II to be formally judged genocidal in character and many key individual participants were subsequently charged with war crimes. The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) was established by the United Nations to prosecute these crimes. Although tensions in Yugoslavia had been mounting since the early 1980s, it was 1990 that proved the decisive year in which war became more likely. In the midst of economic hardship, the country was facing rising nationalism amongst its various ethnic groups. At the last 14th Extraordinary Congress of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia in January 1990, the Serbian-dominated assembly agreed to abolish the single-party system, however Slobodan Milošević, the head of the Serbian Party branch (League of Communists of Serbia) used his influence to block and vote-down all other proposals from the Croatian and Slovene party delegates. This prompted the Croatian and Slovene delegations to walk out and thus the break-up of the party, a symbolic event representing the end of "brotherhood and unity". The Yugoslav Wars may be considered to comprise of three separate but related wars:

GNU Free Documentation License Are Russians the most magnanimous people to their enemies? Q. I've seen several Russian films depicting the Russian War in Chechnya. What I've discovered is that the Chechens are depicted as being brave and clever. Sometimes the Russians were depicted as being afraid of the Chechens and make failed attacks against the solid Muslim fighters. I've never seen such magnanimity in American, Yugoslav (Serbian), Turkish, or Indian films. What's the secret behind the Russian magnanimity and justice? Hey, not just the films depicting the Chechens, but even the Teutonic knights, like Alexander Nevsky. Asked by James Dean - Thu Sep 13 09:52:50 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. The First Chechen War was unpopular among Russians. There was a lot of critics on the president Yeltsin for that war. Also, it was widely recognized that the Russian army miserably failed to achieve its goals in that war and not the last reason was in the bravery or Chechens as well as in the poor combat training and morale of Russian troops - people blamed Yeltsin and "those democrates" for that war and for those losses. Now the time has changed. Russians don't want to blame Putin for anything, but the "public opinion" has much inerton. Everybody knows, that during the First Chechen war Russian suffered heavy losses due to the bravery of Chechens and poor quality of Russian troops. Those, who make films, want more people to like that… [cont.] Answered by wschmerz - Thu Sep 13 11:34:19 2007 positive effects of Communism? Q. My parents are always saying that before the war Yugoslavia was peaceful and prosperouss. Always with ohh those were the days (my dad even named me after a croatian soccer player). It was a time when ethnicity didn't mean anything compared to being a Yugoslav. Was it the rule of communism that united Yugoslavia ? Did democracy destroy Yugoslavia? or perhaps nationalism?

Democracy didn t destroy Yogoslavia. Yugoslavia broke down because of ancient problems. Answered by eddy - Wed Sep 3 17:43:47 2008 Can I get rich in the porn industry?
Q. I had a brainstorm. What if I were to start a website which specialized in porn videos and photos specifically, from war torn countries. I could collect videos and photos from Yugoslavia, Lebanon, - pretty much all the countries America has bombed into poverty and ruin. I'd have fantastic categories such as: hezbollah's honies lebanese lingerie serbian sl*Ts yummy yugoslavs horseback janjaweed - and loving it !!! What do you think? Asked by unknown - Tue Aug 29 23:26:39 2006 - - 11 Answers - 0 Comments A. it might just work. There are alot of sick people out there who love seeing the misfortunate women out there who are forced into prostituition due to their government's poor economic conditions such as China, India, Vietnam, Cambodia, etc. Basically, these people are allready funding the Asian porn industry so I would expect that if you could find some hot models within Hezbollah, or Iran, you'd be filling a niche that has yet to be filled. BTW, I think the reason there aren't allready sites like this online is because Arabs kill women for permiscuity and premarital sex.
