The Yugoslav Wars of Dissolution

With their horrific violence and brutal campaigns of "ethnic cleansing," the Yugoslav Wars of Dissolution came to typify post-Cold War ethnic conflict. In fact, the word "Balkanization" has come to refer to any state that experiences ethnic conflict and state dissolution. It is a vastly complicated conflict steeped in history and fought on many fronts with many sides opposing each other, sometimes with three armies fighting each other at the same time.
