Question

Which factor led Bosnian Serbs to commit acts of violence in Bosnia-Herzegovina?

Answer 1

"Milosevic supported the independence movement of the Bosnian Serbs" factor led Bosnian Serbs to commit acts of violence in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

The Balkan states which included Bosnia-Herzegovina and other states became part of the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia, following World War II. Shortly after the death of lengthy-time Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito in 1980, nationalism emerged among the various Yugoslav republics which attempted to disrupt their alliance.

After the mid-1980s, the cycle accelerated with the emergence of Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic. The state of the Bosnia-Herzegovina Yugoslav republic achieved independence from Yugoslavia in April 1992. With the assistance of the Serb-dominated Yugoslav army, Bosnian Serb forces have committed horrendous crimes targeting Bosniak or Bosnian Muslim and Croatian citizens over the next several years, leading to the deaths of some 80% Bosnian by 1995.
