It all started with ethnic tensions and the weakening of the communist government in Yugoslavia. In January of 1990 Slobodan Milosevic leading the Serbian delegation of Congress of the LEague of Communists wanted a operson one vote system put in place which would give the Serbian majority control of the government. Croatia and Slovenia opposed this and ended up leaving the congress. Things only got worse and in June of 1991 Croatia and Slovenia declared their independence. This declaration spurred the Yugoslav Army which was controlled by the serbians to take control of the borders and bases near the borders, but the conscripts of the army didn't want to fight on their home soil so the paramilitary forces of slovenia quickly retook the borders and bases with nearly no fighting. In Croatia the serbian military and the Croatians began a bloody war over areas both claimed and populated by Serbians. In September Macedonia declared independence with no resistence from the central Yugoslav gorvernment and by January of 1992 Croatia, Slovenia and Macedonia were all fully recognized independent nations. The fighting between the Christian Serbians and Ethnic Albanians in Bosnia, Serbia and Kosovo would take many years and NATO and Russian peace keeping forces to quell the fighting.
