Near Travnik (Bosnia, in central Yugoslavia), hunters find a child [[RaisedByWolves raised by wolves]].

The true horrors, however, were showcased in the Bosnian War, which overlapped the Croatian War of Independence, and where the fighting quickly morphed into Bosnian Serbs versus Bosnian Croats versus Bosnian Muslims loyal to Izetbegović versus Bosnian Muslims loyal to Abdić versus any militia given even a degree of autonomy. While the world was aware of the bloody conflicts going on, the media had a tendency to avoid mentioning WHY the war even started in the first place. As a result, the Western world, unaccustomed to the rivalries in the Balkans, sat around and twiddled their thumbs, basically unable to help or understand these conflicted people. (Yet supplying and selling weapons and supplies to this certain sides in an attempt to tip the balance and bring the war to an early end.) This, combined with the "us versus them" mentality of the people at war, made for a deadly combination.

The broader impact of the war has proved to be severe and debilitating to the development and prosperity of the newly-formed countries. Whilst some like Slovenia and Macedonia got off lightly, others like Croatia, Serbia and especially Bosnia and Herzegovina would go on to suffer from the post war fallout in the coming decades. The areas that endured the most fighting saw their populations either significantly altered as people were driven off and new ´´colonists´´ came in, or largely depopulated, a problem that hasn't been solved up until the present. Many successful industries and companies suffered as the war has irrevocably disrupted their operations and manufacturing (not to mention the plethora of shady privatizations which were common during that time). Lastly, the war left the belligerent nations with lingering sentiments of distrust and intolerance and in more dangerous and disturbing cases, a desire for a revanche/revenge. Time will tell if the Balkans will somehow manage to put the past behind it, or it will repeat the mistakes of yore.

The broader impact of the war has proved to be severe and debilitating to the development and prosperity of the newly-formed countries. Whilst some like Slovenia and Macedonia got off lightly, others like Croatia, Serbia and especially Bosnia and Herzegovina would go on to suffer from the post war fallout in the coming decades. The areas that endured the most fighting saw their populations either significantly altered as people were driven off and new ´´colonists´´ "colonists" came in, or largely depopulated, a problem that hasn't been solved up until the present. Many successful industries and companies suffered as the war has irrevocably disrupted their operations and manufacturing (not to mention the plethora of shady privatizations which were common during that time). Lastly, the war left the belligerent nations with lingering sentiments of distrust and intolerance and in more dangerous and disturbing cases, a desire for a revanche/revenge. Time will tell if the Balkans will somehow manage to put the past behind it, or it will repeat the mistakes of yore.
