Croation War of Independence

This was began when Serbs living in Croatia, who opposed Croatian independence, announced their own secession from Croatia. This was in response to a provision in the new Croatian constitution that replaced Serbs in Croatia as a "constituent nation" (with a reference to all other nations). This was interpreted as being reclassified as a "national minority", hence the secession.This was a serious move and was to some extent pushed on by Milošević-led government.

As the JNA was mostly made up by Serbs or Montenegrins, the JNA opposed Croatian independence and took the side of the Croatian Serb rebels. By the middle of July, 1991, the JNA had approximately 70 000 troops in Croatia and fighting escalated rapidly.

The borders of Croatia faced attacks from forces within Serbia and Montenegro. This created great divide between the republics of Yugoslavia as they fought against each other in search of different ideals. Yet, this particualar incident actually brought Sebia and Montenegro together as they fought together for the same aim.
