When the Bosnian Muslims declared independence in 1992, the then-Yugoslovian president Milosevic attacked them to support the Serbian minority. The Serbian force began to eliminate Muslims and entire villages in what they called "ethnic cleansing". This resulted in over 200,000 Muslim civilian casualties and 2 million Muslims were displaced as a result.
