Human Rights Violations World War Ii
4,837 wordsThe conflict in the Balkans is interesting because for years, reporters and politicians have touted it as being the result of ancient ethnic hatred but that isnt the case. The people of this region lived together peacefully for centuries and any conflicts that have arose among people were based not on ethnic origin but other things like class and ruling party.

Sign A Peace Peace Meeting Serbs
327 wordsThe situation in Baltics is a terrible ordeal. NATO is attempting to help Serbians get through to the serbians and get them to sign a peace agreement. It is not yet successful. Yugoslavia's president is becoming rattled, but not stopped. Every day many albanians and even serbs are dying.

Four Hundred Years Bosnia And Herzegovina
3,574 wordsIn history classes today (elementary, high school, and some in the college or university level as well) our teachers rarely give us an in-depth look at events, instead they just give us a quick scan of what happened, when, and why the events mentioned are important. I have yet to have had a history teacher get deep into the subject matter of a certain event, or chain of events as I would like. My favorite topic of history, or the area that I find the most interesting would be the events leading ...
