Abstract
This chapter covers the Ten Days War, in which Slovenia gained independence from the Yugoslav Federation, the war between Croatia and the Yugoslav Federation, the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina, the war in Kosovo, and the war in Macedonia. The Yugoslav wars were often described in the press as tribal, barbaric and devoid of rationality. According to this view, they were supposedly the result of ancient hatreds and long-kept feudal animosities. The chapter shows that this point of view, which has always been widely contested by historians, political scientists and specialists of the conflict, has to a great extent prevented early interventions on the part of foreign governments in the conflict. It revisits the historical context of the conflict, and reviews the reasons and multiple justifications for the war. Keywords:Bosnia-Herzegovina; Croatia; Kosovo; Macedonia; Slovenia; Yugoslav Federation; Yugoslav wars
