Extra Information

The Croatian War of Independence from Yugoslavia was fought from 1991 to 1995 between Croat forces loyal to the Government of Croatia and the Serb-controlled Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) with local Serb forces. The war ended with Croatian victory, as it achieved the goals it had declared at the beginning of the war: independence and preservation of its borders. Approximately 21–25% of Croatia's economy was ruined and over 20,000 people were killed in the war.
