    Bosnia was the only one to involve international involvement and genocide. I’m not sure how I can explain it more simply.

    It was one of the largest international interventions of the late 20th century.

    United Nations (UNPROFOR): The UN Protection Force involved troops from over 40 countries, including the United Kingdom, France, Canada, Pakistan, and the Netherlands.

    NATO: Marking its first-ever combat operations, NATO intervened via Operation Deliberate Force in 1995. Key contributors included the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Spain.

    Contact Group: A diplomatic body formed to facilitate peace, consisting of the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Russia.

    Foreign Volunteers: Thousands of volunteers joined various sides, including “mujahideen” from various Middle Eastern and North African countries supporting the Bosniaks, and Greek and Russian volunteers supporting the Bosnian Serbs.

      Right, so you’re just objectively wrong and also the genocide conviction is indeed irrelevant.

      • Hungarian revolution: USSR invaded Hungary
      • Turkish invasion of Cyprus: Turkiye invaded Cyprus
      • Transnistria war: Russia invaded Moldova

      And to counter that, you’re bringing up an example that also started before the EU was made

        It’s considered the worst conflict in Europe since 1945. Genocide, ethnic cleansing. Millions displaced, rape as a weapon. Major multinational involvement.

        If you want to dance on the head of the pin, yes there were other wars, but none of that scale Doesn’t change history.

        Lol, yes it started in 1992, well done you finally got something right.

          So, in other words, when you said, “There were no wars in Europe since ww2 until [1993]”, you were in fact completely talking out your arse

            Ok, there were no major wars between the end of the 2nd world war and the formation of the EU. Happy now?

            It was just a casual comment mate, get over yourself

                  Maybe look at the date it took effect and actually formed the EU

                  Also, to quote a mysterious someone from further up the thread: “The EU was created in 1993.”

                    Lol. I don’t give a shit mate. It was a throwaway comment joking about how there were no major wars until the EU was formed.

                    Correlation is not causation, it’s not that deep.
