Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "ethnic cleansing" refers to the systematic and violent removal of an ethnic or religious group from a particular area, and it is the most accurate description of what happened to the ethnic Albanians in Yugoslavia in 1999. The Serbian neighbors engaged in a deliberate campaign to expel, kill, or drive out ethnic Albanians from their homes and communities, in order to create a homogeneous Serbian state. Assimilation, cultural cleansing, and fratricide are not accurate descriptions of the events that took place.
