The horrific event known as the Srebrenica massacre or Srebrenica genocide occurred in July 1995, leading to the slaughter of more than 8,000 Bosniaks, most of whom were male adults and young boys. This atrocity took place within and in the vicinity of the Srebrenica town during the Bosnian War. Orchestrated by the Bosnian Serb Army from the Republic of Srpska (VRS), the troops were led by Ratko Mladić. This understanding would help in grasping the collapse of Yugoslavia, and the circumstances that led to this tragic event.
