Updated and revised, with new images throughout, this is a detailed overview of the bloody conflict in former Yugoslavia, a war which had significant consequences for the region.In 1991, an ethnically diverse region that had enjoyed decades of peaceful coexistence descended into bitter hatred and chaos, almost overnight.
