Why did this genocide occur? Max

 This genocide occurred because of what we learned in class, Nationalism. With Bosnia having a revolution and declaring themselves a republic. Bosnia had many minorities including Serbs and Croats. The majority was the Bosnian Muslims, who were very powerful. The ruler of Yugoslavia had named all Serbs under his nation of "Greater Serbia" as he called it. Serbs in Bosnia were angry at the Bosnian Muslims for being very powerful. Serbs started to kill the Muslims for political reasons. Then started the genocide, which killed over 200,000 Bosnian Muslims and catholic Croats.
