  1. Bosnia By: McCalle, Trevin, Gunner

  2. About Bosnia • Bosnia is located next to Italy • The neighboring countries are Montenegro and Serbia • They are Nationalist • Population was 3, 839, 737 people lived there

  3. Who was involved in the Genocide? • Serbs (Orthodox Christians), Muslims • The Serbs were killing the Muslims • The Muslims were heavily out gunned and the Serbs gained ground

  4. How were the Muslims killed? • Over 200,000 people were killed, mostly Muslims • 20,000 – 50,000 Muslim women were raped • The Serbs would round up any able bodied men ages 16-60 and would shoot them in the middle of the villages • They would then take the women, children, and elderly to camps of mass extermination • 1992 the Serbs eventually killed 3,500 children in the streets

  5. Steps of Extermination • 1. Concentration : surround the area and warn Serbs to leave because they are about to kill everyone. • 2. Decapitation : Execute political leaders and any who could possibly take their place. • 3. Separation : Divide women, children and elderly, away from the able bodied men 16-60 years of age. • 4. Evacuation : Transport women, children, and elderly away • 5 . Liquidation : Execute fighting age men and dispose of bodies

  6. What is Genocide? • Definition of Genocide : murder of entire ethnic group: the systematic killing of all the people from a national, ethnic, or religious group, or an attempt to do this. • This was definitely a Genocide because of the mass extermination of the Muslims

  7. Who Reacted? • The United States then launched diplomatic efforts and unifying Muslims and the Croats against the Serbs • However, this did not work • Bosnia Muslims received arms from the Islamic world • Muslims then started taking their land back a little bit at a time • This started the end of the Genocide
