		The wars in Croatia, Bosnia, and Kosovo resulted in the displacement of an estimated 2.4 million refugees and 2 million internally displaced persons.14 The largest population flows were associated with the war in Bosnia, during which an estimated 2.3 million people became displaced.
		During the war, most of the 1 million people who became displaced within Bosnia had moved to areas controlled by their own ethnic group; as a result, most areas of the country, with the exception of central Bosnia, were populated and controlled by a predominant ethnic group at the end of the war (see app.

		Why Bosnia converted en masse to Islam under the Ottoman Empire, while the other Balkan regions - with the exception of Albania, which also became mostly Muslim - remained Christian, was the subject of much scholarship in the wake of the Balkan war that followed the collapse of Yugoslavia in 1991.
