The conflict, war and the collapse of the society

Abstract

The paper analyzes key factors that caused and contributed to deterioration of Croatian and Serbian relations at the beginning of the 1990s. Previous relations and experiences, but also the infiltration of the Greater-Serbian propaganda, in some of the areas in Croatia with the significant number of the Serbian population caused the Serbian national homogenization, armed Serbian insurgency against democratic Croatian Government and ultimately, aggression. Such developments led to Croatian national homogenization and because of war crimes and destructions of the aggressor in some communities there was partial or total disintegration of the former society.
