- One reason for the Bosnian genocide was because the UN went to Bosnia to control the violence between the Bosnian Serbs and the Bosnian Croats.
- Another reason for the Bosnian genocide was that the communist leader died which was just about the only thing that was holding the country together.
This is Josip Tito the former communist leader of Bosnia.
- The Bosnian genocide lasted from 1992 to 1995. So for 3 years the people of Bosnia went through what seemed like hell. Innocent people dying for now reason.
This image is representing how the people of Bosnia were gunned down and beat down for no reason.
- The death toll in the Bosnian genocide was estimated to be 100,000 people but 10,000 of them died in the war.
- Some women and small children were raped and abused until they were killed, men and other older children were taken to a mass killing site where they were just killed in a firing line type fashion.
- After the Serb forces captured Zupa that same month and exploded a bomb in a crowded Sarajevo market. After this event the civilian death toll increased by a lot.
- A lot of people were just killed like for example most of the men were just taken to a large killing site and lined up and shot in a firing line fashion. the women and small children were generally raped or beaten until they were killed.
- The aggressors in this genocide did not like what was occurring but they had to protect what was right and theirs, Mainly their country.
- The lives of the survivors were changed in the fact that most of them were healthy and perfectly fine before this event but after the genocide they were very sick and/or malnourished. From the beatings they had taken most of them were so mangled they couldn't function.
The international community reacted to this horrible event by The UN sending food, clothes and other necessities to the troubled areas so they could recover.
This is a graph of the death rate in the military forces/ all armed forces in Bosnia before and after the Genocide.
The new leader of Bosnia hated the Muslim race and that is what they were mainly targeting during the Genocide.

journal entry
Dear journal,
My name is Rebeka. I am in hiding right now, the Bosnian genocide is in full swing. I am afraid for my life because the Croats are targeting us Muslims. I have heard stories of the Muslim women that have been caught and some of the small children that have been caught are being raped and beaten to death. I am truly scared for my well being.

Dear journal,
My name Ebro, i am a soldier of the Bosnian Army, currently we are on a mission to find all of the Muslims. we have been instructed to kill each Muslim we find. Most of my fellow soldiers are very vulgar men, they have been beating and abusing the women we find. Personally, i think this whole thing is just pointless, but i am a soldier and i have been instructed to do something and i cant back down from orders. This is all just so pointless.

Poem
I feel like I'm dead
But i feel my blood rushing
I am so scared now
I can hear them storming us
I can feel death approaching
But i feel my blood rushing
I am so scared now
I can hear them storming us
I can feel death approaching
