A: Q: Why do the U.S. and NATO care about Kosovo?
A:
The United States has long been concerned that violence in Yugoslavia would spill across borders, possibly leading to war between two NATO allies, Greece and Turkey. World War I had roots in Balkan violence; World War II was inflamed by ethnic slaughter there. In recent months, the United States and its European allies have said forcefully that they want Serbian atrocities against Kosovo's civilian population to stop. Q: How is the Kosovo conflict related to Bosnia? A: Bosnia was part of Yugoslavia until 1992 when it declared independence. But ethnic Serbs in Bosnia wanted to remain part of Yugoslavia. The Milosevic government in Belgrade encouraged the ethnic Serbs in Bosnia to fight Muslims and Croats. The war claimed hundreds of thousands of lives, many the result of "ethnic cleansing" carried out by ethnic Serbian paramilitary forces loyal to Milosevic. U.S. officials say they do not want what happened in Bosnia to occur again in Kosovo. Meanwhile, about 20,000 NATO troops are keeping the peace in Bosnia under the 1995 Dayton accords. Some fear those NATO troops could be dragged into the Kosovo conflict.

The Torturous History of the Balkans The Balkan region has occupied an important position in the history of the modern world. No other region has caused so much friction between the leading powers of the time as the Balkans. So one needs to know its torturous past to understand the turbulent present. The word Balkan comes from Turkish: it means mountain. It was invaded by the Turks in the 14th century and they ruled it for 500 years. In the 17th century, the Austro-Hungarian empire become the supreme power in the North and loosened Turkish control. The Treaty of Berlin in 1878 redefined the boundaries of the Balkans. Serbia, Montenegro and Romania became independent. Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina came under the Austro-Hungarian rule. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Ottoman empire began to crumble and a wave of nationalism swept the Balkans. War broke out in 1912 when Montenegrin troops marched across the border into the Ottoman empire. Serbia, Bulgaria and Greece joined the war a few days later. The Turks were driven out of Kosovo, Macedonia and Albania. Later, the Serbs occupied Kosovo and Macedonia. In 1914, Austria's crown prince Franz Ferdinand came to the Balkans to quell the unrest. He was shot in Sarajevo by a Serb nationalist, which triggered the First World War. After World War I, the Versailles Peace Treaty again redefined the boundaries of the Balkans. The kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes was founded. In 1929, King Alexander I changed the name of the state to Yugoslavia - land of the southern Slavs. Serbs were the dominant of all the ethnic groups and this brought resentment against them. The Croats killed Alexander in 1934.

    In March 1999, NATO began airstrikes against Yugoslavia in an effort to stop the ethnic cleansing of Kosovar Albanians by Serbs. There was immediately widespread talk of a ground war. The likelihood of 1 PARA being deployed grew, with the battalion in the Leading Parachute Battalion Group role. Intensive training began to simulate possible deployments as part of either a NATO peacemaking, or peacekeeping mission. Finally, on Sunday June 6 1999, 1 PARA, reinforced by 125 men from 3 PARA, deployed to Macedonia, ready for action in Kosovo. Within a few days the mission was announced - 1 PARA was to help clear the way for a NATO peacekeeping force (KFOR) to enter Kosovo unmolested by possible pockets of hardline Serb resistance. 1 PARA entered Kosovo and quickly saw its first action, engaging a Serb "special policeman" who drew his personal weapon and fired, threatening the patrol. After the initial deployment, the battalion found itself carrying out a number of peacekeeping tasks. These included the discovery, and recording of evidence of widespread Serb war crimes, as well as running negotiations with the Kosovo Liberation Army. With tempers running high among Albanians who lost relatives, and friends in the killings, the Paras found themselves called upon to protect Serb civilians from reprisals.

  • A History of the Balkans Conflict
    The current conflict in Yugoslavia is the most recent of five major conflicts that have ravaged the Balkans since 1908 (First and Second Balkans Wars, First and Second World Wars). Following the Second World War, however, with Marshal Tito as its leader, Yugoslavia enjoyed over 30 years of political stability. Yugoslavia was then a federation consisting of six republics, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro, and two provinces, Vojvodina and Kosovo, within which recognition was accorded to six nations and a multitude of nationalities (the equivalent of ethnic minorities). Each republic was more or less multi-ethnic. Tito accordingly initiated a gradual process to decentralize authority and create a country where nationalism would be eliminated and socialist unity among the peoples of Yugoslavia encouraged.

    With the death of Tito in 1980, it became more and more difficult to keep the country together. The leaders of the various republics faced mounting discontent from workers, and an increasingly unstable economy engendered dissatisfaction among the people. Not only that, but the resentment caused by federal control sparked a resurgence of nationalism and led to calls for greater regional independence.

    used without permission, for ``fair use" only Why present the modern history of the Balkans as "the age of nationalism?" Because the most apparent change in the region during the last 200 years has been the appearance of national states there. In 1800, the Balkans were divided between two dynastic empiresa century later we find independent states built on the national principle: Serbia, Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, Montenegro, followed shortly by Albania and Hungary. Look at the so-called "national revolutions" of the nineteenth century, beginning with Serbia and Greece. Is it accurate to say that societies changed to an extent that was "revolutionary?" Was nationalism the main engine of change? To answer these questions, I want to look for the impact of nationalism during three periods associated with what happened in Serbia and Greece:
    • 1) developments before the unrest, 2) the events of the "revolutionary" period itself, and 3) the early years of the new independent states.

    The Balkan Conspiracy
    To arms! To arms! Thus once again is the "Eastern Question" answered. Turk and Bulgarian, Mohammedan and Christian, are at one another's throats in a frenzy of blood-lust. The clash of arms and the roar of guns once more shake the hills and mountains of the near East, and the cries of wounded and dying men fill fair valleys with horror. What does it all mean? What has it got to do with us of the working class? Although some say it is no affair of ours, we emphatically hold otherwise. Before almost all else we Socialists are internationalists. We belong to the international working class. Our grievance is international; our only hope is international, and our enemy is international also. Hence we are interested in every activity that hurts, hinders, or helps our fellow workers anywhere and everywhere. To mouth the horrors of Armenia, to point to the infamies of the Sultan in Macedonia, as do those who are trying to find excuses for this stupendous waste of working-class life, it is quite obvious, is nothing but the sheerest humbug. Why, then, this war? Montenegro was the first with its declaration of war—a country with under 250,000 inhabitants—not, in that respect, the equal of the London suburb, West Ham—and as poor as the oft-quoted church mouse. Where did she get her armaments? Bulgaria, Servia, Greece, every one of them poor—who backed them and why?

    Independent Studies, Prof. Maria Todorova, Fall 1994 Jelavich, Barbara. History of the Balkans : Twentieth Century. vol. 2. Cambridge University Press, 1983. In this survey, Barbara Jelavich summarizes the efforts of several organizations and scholars (among them the Joint Committee on Eastern Europe of the American Council of Learned Societies, the Social Science Research Council, and her husband Charles Jelavich) to produce a wide-ranging and up-to-date history of the Balkans. Jelavich links the narrative from the first to the second volume by covering the events in the late nineteenth century. Following a chronological order, Jelavich divides the narrative into two major parts: the period from 1880's, a time when Balkan national liberation movements culminated in the greater part of the peninsula into Balkan national monarchies until 1941, when "the involvement in the war, [marked] the end of a major epoch in Balkan history."(238) The second part takes over from the World War II and continues until the 1980's. The emergence of Balkan nationalist states, and the "imperial drives of Britain, France, Russia, the Habsburg Empire, and later Italy and Germany" (440) presented in the first part of the book, are juxtaposed to the second part with the imposition of Communist control over a greater part of the peninsula, and to the "emerging of the United States and the Soviet Union as the only two great powers...able to exert the major influence" in this region (443).

La montée de nationalismes exacerbés, les ressentiments et les revendications de droits historiques sur divers territoires, ont suscité des divisions, des haines, des conflits. Respectant les valeurs fondamentales de l'humanisme européen, la liberté, la tolérance et le droit à la différence, nous condamnons toute action politique, militaire et économique qui porte atteinte à la dignité des hommes et des peuples, ainsi qu'à leurs droits traditionnels. L'histoire qui, par son exigence de vérité, nous éclaire sur notre origine et notre identité, a aussi une mission émancipatrice qui projette une image constructive de ce que nous devons être. Le devoir de l'historien serait de définir les causes des conflits et leurs effets, et de promouvoir en même temps un climat de solidarité dans les différences, d'établir le dialogue pour reconnaître l'autre et aussi nous reconnaître dans l'autre.
