	Croatian Football - War In The Former Yugoslavia :: Soccerphile (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		For many Croats, the war of independence from Serbia did not start in June of 1991 as most history books will tell you.
		It must be, the historians claim, that the Croats saw in the fans' actions and Boban's intervention a symbol of the resistance against the 70-year long Serbian domination.
		The Serbs claim that the Croatian side had planned the incidents and that the fence on the North stand was deliberately weakened the night before to facilitate the pitch invasion by the home fans.

	Croatian War of Independence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Croatian War of Independence (Croatian: Domovinski rat (Homeland war)), was a war in Croatia from 1991 to 1995, between the democratically elected Croatian government and Croatian Serbs, backed up by Serbia-controlled Yugoslav People's Army.
		The Croatians lost much territory, but profitted by being able to expand the Croatian Army from the seven brigades it had at the time of the first cease-fire to the 64 brigades it had at the time the last one was signed.
		The warring parties mostly moved to entrenched positions as the United Nations Protection Force was deployed to supervise and maintain the agreement.

		War was declared on Bosnia even before the referendum on independence had been held.
		It is the backward, reactionary nature of the rural populations that explains why war in both Croatia and Bosnia has been so savage and why there has been destruction of cultural and historical symbols on a scale far surpassing that of the Nazi occupation.
		For the war in Kosova is a direct result of the policies adopted by the NATO powers during all the previous wars in former Yugoslavia.

	Croatian Serb war criminal kills self in prison - The Boston Globe
		AMSTERDAM -- A Croatian Serb convicted of ethnic cleansing after leading a brutal revolt during the Balkan wars committed suicide in prison, the UN tribunal said yesterday, a setback for prosecutors counting on his testimony in other war crimes cases.
		Once a close associate of Slobodan Milosevic, president of the former Yugoslavia, Babic was considered an ''insider" with special knowledge of the workings of Milosevic's regime, and prosecutors put him on the stand for three weeks of dramatic testimony against his former mentor in 2002.
		Babic, a former dentist, was a ranking Croatian Serb leader when the Serb minority revolted after Croatia declared independence from Yugoslavia in 1991, setting off a war that lasted until 1995.

		The Homeland War was fomented against Croatia in August 1990, when Yugoslavian rebels supported by the JNA launched armed attacks against the legal institutions of the Croatian state and set up the self-proclaimed Yugoslavian autonomous regions in Croatia with the purpose of seceding from Croatia.
		The war continued in April with the gradual military intervention of the JNA and intensified in June 1991 with the direct invasion of those parts of Croatia which Yugoslavia wanted to occupy and annex.
		Since the Croatian territorial defence (TO) had been disarmed a few months before, the basic questions in ensuring the survival of the Croatian state were how to defend the country and by what means.

		Most nationalists, Croatian, Slovenian, and Serbian alike, were anti-communist and all had visions of the Western Allies welcoming them into the coming battle against communism.

	Newswise Social and Behavioral Sciences News \| The Stress of War Harms Civilian Men More than Women
		A man's health and behavior are more adversely impacted by war and the associated disruption than a woman's---as evidenced by the dramatic jump in non-combat mortality for Croatian men during the Croatian War of Independence, a new study shows.
		The study infers that the rise in deaths during and after the war, which lasted from 1991-1995, occurred because men have evolved to have riskier behavior and riskier physiological responses than women when their surroundings are in turmoil, Kruger said.
		In the period following the war, the ratio of male deaths to female deaths was as high as 4.5 to 1 in the 35-44 year old age group, the study showed.

		Croatian and Slovenian delegation left the assembly in protest - something that was unheard of in 45 years of communist Yugoslavia.
		In Croatian case the plan was simple: Serb population was instructed to start a rebellion against the new government; when the Croats respond, JNA would be sent to crush the Croats and, thereby, help the Serbs as if they were victims - this would justify the actions of JNA before the eyes of the world.
		Croatian population in occupied areas was either killed or expelled to the areas under Croatian control.

		On 19th May 1991, a referendum was held in Croatia of which 93.24% of the people voted for a ‘sovereign and independent Croatian state’ free from the Serb-dominated Federal Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia.
		It initiated a propaganda campaign, aimed at stirring ethnic Croatian-Serbs, who totalled 11-12% of the total Croatian population.
		It endorsed arms embargo 713 on Yugoslavia, effectively denying the lightly armed Croatians the weapons they so desperately needed to defend themselves; whilst the JNA, the fifth largest army in Europe and thousands of Serbian reservists and paramilitaries advanced with their inexhaustible weaponry.

		Croatian President Franjo Tudjman admitted in an address to Croatia's Sabor, or parliament, on August 1 that Serb-dominated areas in Croatia -- principally Slavonia in eastern Croatia, on the Hungarian and Vojvodinian borders, and the autonomous region of Krajina in Croatia's south-west, adjacent to Bosnia-Hercegovina -- could not be defended.
		Croatian troops face the combined force of rebels backed by Serbia and the federal army, which has 70,000 troops in Croatia.
		Despite the legitimate cause (and, in the circumstances, necessity) of Croatian independence, the Tudjman government has made errors that have worsened the situation, especially in relation to the republic's Serbs, who constitute 12% of its 4.7 million population.
