Ethnic Serbs seized parts of Croatia and Bosnia, where they killed non-Serbs or forced them from their homes. This led to the Bosnian War and genocide, which involved so-called "ethnic cleansing" campaigns targeting Bosniak and Croatian civilians. The situation was extremely violent and UN peacekeeping efforts were largely unsuccessful in preventing atrocities. European countries did not immediately send troops to defend the borders of the newly independent states, and instead relied on diplomatic efforts to try and resolve the conflict. An arms embargo was put in place, but it ultimately failed to prevent the bloodshed.
