United Nations Protection Force in Croatia, (UNPROFOR)

摘要

In the Balkans, the hurricane of a Greater Serbia prevailed where the idea thatall Serbs will live in one state led to a bloody war. Instead of accepting democratic principles and a community of states, Serbia launched a war of aggression in the belief that in a short period they could crush all opposition and remain in control of the entire Yugoslav area. They miscalculated the process of democratization and education affecting all of Eastern Europe did not bypass the former Yugoslavia. From unexpected resistance there emerged new, sovereign and internationally recognized states. The Republic of Croatia, one of those nations, emerged for the first time since 1102, and was accepted into the United Nations. This work is the result of the attempt to present an overview and explanation of the events occurring in Croatia during the mandate of UNPROFOR in order to provide a solid basis for political thought and attitudes towards Croatia and Croatian's. The conditions leading up to the aggression against Croatia, the arrival of the United Nations peacekeeping force of UNPROFOR, and the chronology of events from 1992-1995 in Croatia are the topics of this Strategic Research Project.
