Introduction

The first ten years since the World War II ended, was dominated by one superpower, The United States, rather than Cold war competition among heavily armed, ideologically hostile nuclear powers. The 90s brought into view still-evolving new order of the world, in which Major political goals, alliances and principles of America were defined again in several significant arenas. Internationally, the abrupt resolution of the cold war coincided with a rise in factionalism, as the Soviet Union splintered into separate, competing republics; Serbs, Croats, and Bosnians fought over portions of Yugoslavia; civil war broke out in Somalia and continued in Angola and Afghanistan; racial violence surged in Germany. Jews faced increasing antisemitism in France; Hindus and Muslims fought in India; Hutu and Tutsi slaughtered one another in Rwanda.

Around 2 million people from Bosnia became refugees. Europe took this as genocide in 1995 instead of 1945, not in any graining newsreel from the previous era, yet in that time, evaluating their humanity and their determination (Stacy, 2009).

At the time, a large number of people had believed that there was no solution to stop the bloodshed in Bosnia. According to them, that is only a way in which people in Balkans were living; however, when the government of America and U.S. allies took part with daring people of Bosnia to fight against the aggressors, they helped to end the war. According to the government, they got to know that in the Balkans, in the fight to face the brutality increased more brutality. On the other hand, through firmness, they were able to stop armies ...
