Why were the wars fought and who were the good guys...

Here you go

No one was good and no one was bad. Historically the Croats had committed the worst atrocities in the preceding decades, with a subset being fascist ustase that had been bent on genocide of everyone else, essentially Nazis. Serbians had a kind of expansionist thing, like US manifest destiny, where there monarchy supposedly could bring prosperity by ruling over the entire region. This was part of Milosevic's rhetoric. The Bosnians also have their own monarchical thing going on.

The international support is also weird, with Croatia really being buddied with NATO, Bosnia getting almost unwanted support from the Muslim Brotherhood, and Serbia having strong ties both to Russia and China, but also the more liberal middle eastern countries like Syria (left over from when Yugoslavia and Belgrade were strong through the Non Aligned Movement). So you can almost see it as a proxy for a number of conflicts and political disputes going on, all layered on top of one another.

slovenia = good
bosnia = muslim = bad
macedonia = not greek

Macedonia = Not Greek = Alexander The Great
Greece = pederasty

Macedonia was Greek and pederastic at the time of Alexander. The point is that population movements unGreeked the country, according to Greece.

They had debates in Athens claiming that Macedonia at the time wasn't Greek, that they spoke some bastardized version of Greek etc etc.

Ungreeking is also bs.

Yes a bunch of supremacists that regarded everyone non-greek as barbarian were well known for their objective appraisal. There was at least some continuity between the languages and peoples which is why it even warranted a debate, that only changed after later slavic migrations.

>that only changed after later slavic migrations.
It was one of the last places to have people speaking Latin as their mother tongue you dunce. That was the dominant language in the area for a long ass time.

Why so many small countries in one place?

Did something the accident happen?

Whether you're baiting; in which case you've much better things to be doing, or being serious; in which case you're just a fucking idiot, you still come off as an ignorant prick, and no-one's going to take what you say seriously

Modern states with strong borders and shit. Previous to that Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian etc were quite loose ethnic labels. Many Serbs for example are from the Dalmatia region.

>good guys

There were no good guys in those wars except perhaps NATO and even then, they just wanted to put a stop to the major conflict on their borders.

>except perhaps NATO
Yes, the guys indiscriminately bombing so much that they hit the Chinese embassy in Belgrade and nearly caused a secondary international incident were the maybe good guys.

You should read both Croatian and Serbian works because there is a lot of misinformation on both sides.

Generally it is thought that the Serbs were the 'bad' and Croats were the 'good', but it is much deeper than that..

To add to this, there are a couple of good English sources that span longer stretches of history, but typically the literature on this from the Anglosphere is worse than bad and contains more misinformation than the worst of the Serbs or Croats could ever hope to achieve.

This, disregard anyone trying to tell you that there are 'good' and 'bad' guys on any side of any conflict in general because they're simplifying it way too much and there is always a plethora of factors at play

Didn't NATO cuck the Bosnians out of arms?

>Modern states with strong borders and shit.
For the most part the Croatian one is smaller than it was historically, but it was largely like it is now, unless we are speaking of the times of Turkish power.
>Previous to that Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian etc were quite loose ethnic labels.
They weren't loose for Croatia at all. The national identity was already formed by the 17th century, with dictionaries and transition from Latin in writing happening in the early 16th.
>Many Serbs for example are from the Dalmatia region.
Now that's a loose identity since they were orthodox population that had no nation, which came to see itself as Serb as late as the end of the 19th century.
Muslims decided that they were a nation 30 years ago, before that most saw themselves as Croats.

That wasn't indiscriminate. The Chinese government was sending an information processing station for the Serbian government. That's why it was 'accidentally' hit during night when no one was there.

The English wanted Serbia to win, fast, so they placed an embargo on weapons. Nato decided to help the Croatian side only when they saw Serbia wasn't going to win.

>I think shitposting is enough to recommend someone suicide
kys

Serbia did nothing wrong.

This whole post is typical Croat Nationalist bullshit, p much every point made is wrong. I think for most people though the two or three glaring inaccuracies are enough to make it suspect.

>That wasn't indiscriminate. The Chinese government was sending an information processing station for the Serbian government. That's why it was 'accidentally' hit during night when no one was there.
That claim escalated the incident and I can't remember now if it led to or just nearly led to the evacuation of a number of western embassies in China. That whole thing is quite famous, since while China has a duty to protect embassies on its own soil, protesters congregating and attacking embassies and overwhelming any ability to defend them gets around that: it's not the state attacking, nor can the state do anything. Also 3 people were killed and over 20 others injured.

It doesn't even make sense tbqh.

The only true and objective anwser to understand Balkans problematic:

0. Kingdom of Yugoslavia: De facto big Serbian state which "harrased" other nations, mainly Croats.
1. Independent State of Croatia: genocidal nazi puppet state which "harrased" minorities, mainly Serbs
2. FNR and SFR Yugoslavia: good state, but killed a lot of Croats (but also Serbs) after the ww2 because they were considered traitors (Ustashe and Chetniks, respectively)
3. SFR Yugoslavia falls apart, new democratic state of Croatia is bringing back elements of already mentioned nazi puppet state which pissed of serbs + some people in the serbian establishment wanted "Greater Serbia" === SHIT WENT DOWN

edit
not Balkan, just Serbo-Croatian relations

edit
not "Serbo-Croatian relations", just "the only relevant part of the Balkans"
