		Slavs settled in Bosnia, Herzegovina, and the surrounding lands, which were then part of the Eastern Roman Empire, in the seventh century.
		Many Christians became Muslims through the devsirme system, whereby Christian boys were gathered from the Ottoman lands and were sent to Istanbul to converted to Islam and be trained as Janissary troops, servants of the Sultan or Ottoman officials.
		The beginnings of a Muslim Slav national consciousness is also first attested in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as these early Bosniak nationalists began to assert a national identity distinct from both their Orthodox and Catholic neighbors, and from the other Muslim inhabitants of the empire.

	The History Guy: The Third Balkan War (1991-2001)
		Yugoslavia (literally, Land of the South Slavs), was a nation born out of the ashes of World War One, created through the merger of the mostly Catholic regions of Slovenia and Croatia with the Eastern Orthodox Kingdoms of Serbia and Montenegro.
		Included in the new nation was the land of Bosnia, ethnically and religiously divided among Catholic Croats, Orthodox Serbs and Muslim Slavs.
		Parts of the war saw the Muslims and Croatians cooperate against their common foe, but from 1993-1994, Bosnia saw a three-way war when the Muslims and Croats battled each other as well as fighting the Serbs.

	Bosnia
		In mid-1995, however, the majority of the country's land area was held by Serbian separatist forces; Bosnian government troops, consisting primarily of Muslim Slavs and ethnic Croats, controlled only a little more than one-quarter of the republic's total land area.
		A peace agreement established in Dayton, Ohio, in November 1995 and signed the following month brought the war to an end.
		The area controlled by the Serbs is known as the Serb Republic; the remaining territory, controlled by a federation of Muslims and Croats, is called the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
