The former nation of Yugoslavia was located on the Balkan Peninsula. The nation was created after World War I to bring together the many cultures of the region. The population of Yugoslavia was made up of many ethnic groups that often fought with each other. There were also more than forty different religions in the region.
The many different ethnic groups made a unified government difficult to maintain. These differences resulted in civil war that lasted through much of the early 1990s. Nations in Europe and the United States used military force to try to keep civilians safe. The United States helped bring an end to the war. A peace treaty was signed in 1995. Six new nations were formed from the old Yugoslavia. After the war, the countries began repairing war damage as well as searching for war criminals. Peacekeeping forces from the United States and Europe stayed in the region until 2004 to make sure fighting had ended.

Cultural and religious differences.
