The Bosnia and Herzegovina declaration of sovereignty in October of 1991, was followed by a referendum for independence from the former Yugoslavia in February of 1992. Three years of bloody civil war between the Serbs, Croats, and Muslims followed.

On 21 November 1995, in Dayton, Ohio, the warring parties signed a peace agreement that brought to a halt the inter-ethnic civil strife (the final agreement was signed in Paris on 14 December 1995). The Dayton Agreement divides Bosnia and Herzegovina roughly equally between the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Bosnian Serb Republika Srpska. In 1995-96, a NATO-led international peacekeeping force (IFOR) of 60,000 troops served in Bosnia to implement and monitor the military aspects of the agreement. IFOR was succeeded by a smaller, NATO-led Stabilization Force (SFOR) whose mission is to deter renewed hostilities. SFOR remains in place, with about 20,000 troops as of August 2001.
