From 1991 to 1995, the former country of Yugoslavia was wracked by fighting between the Bosnian Serb, Croat, and Muslim ethnic factions that took over 300,000 lives. The period was marked by a number of unsuccessful peacekeeping and negotiating initiatives. International frustration peaked in July, 1995 with revelations in the press about ethnic cleansing in Muslim enclaves that had been overrun by the Serbs, prompting the United States to launch an allout negotiating effort to bring an end to the fighting.
