Ethnic Divisions in Bosnia
Prior to the civil war in Bosnia that broke out in 1992, concentrations of Bosniaks, Croats, and Serbs were interspersed throughout the country. By the end of the war in late 1995, nearly all non-Serbs had been expelled from Serb-claimed lands in eastern and northern Bosnia, and non-Croats had been forced from Croat-claimed lands, located primarily in western Bosnia. In turn, most Croats and Serbs had left central and northwestern areas that were under Bosniak control.
