The map of Europe before World War 1 showed that the largest nation was Austria-Hungary. It was a multinational state composed of Austrians, Czechs, Hungarians, Slovaks, Serbs, Ukrainians, Croats, Romanians, Italians, and Slovenians.
Bosnian Serbs were the aggressors.
Serbs and Austro-Hungarians
Franz Ferdinand's murder was the trigger to the start of World War I. The assassination brought tensions between the Austrians and the Serbs to a head, eventually leading to war between the two. Because of the alliances in Europe at the time, the war escalated from two nation states to much of Europe fighting.
It is estimated that 1.5 million people died as result of fighting in Croatia, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Montenegro, Macedonia, Serbia and Slovenia (constinutent states of former Yugoslavia) during World War II. Most of the fighting took place in Bosnia and Hercegovina, but approximately 1/3 to 1/2 of that number was made up of ethnically Croat people. This is a result of the percentage of civilians being ethinically Croat in areas where most figthing took place and as a result of ethnically Croat people, along with Bosnian Muslims and Serbs, being among largest communities to join a communist-led guerrilla movement against the occupying Axis and their allies which also included Croats, Bosnian Muslims and Serbs. Regular army units of the pro-Axis Croat regime tended to surrender and switch sides en masse to the communist-led guerrilla units in Bosnia, increasing the number of Croats in the guerrilla movement, especially, after Italy surrendered in 1943 and German defeats in Russia made it clear that Germany would lose the war. Although Serbs comprised a plurality of people living in the region, Croats were overrepresented among the civilians and military deaths until Serbs outside Bosnia sided with the communist-led guerrilla movement and fighting spread to Serbia with the advance of the Soviet army into Serbia in 1944. Many Serbian military dead occurred in 1945, probably needlessly, as the communist-led guerillas began operating as a standing army against German units in which they gave up their advantage by fighting conventionally in cities and open plains against retreating veteran German units.
croats and serbs
Well, Croatians, Bosnians, Serbs, and international forces. Bosnian Croats declared a "Republic of Herzeg-Bosna" on the south of Bosnia, and wanted to break of from Bosnia. (with support from Croatia) Serbs declraed "Republic of Serbs", 50% of the Bosnian territory, and wanted to do the same like Croats. So Bosnians were fighting on 2 fronts, and then, because of war in Croatia, the Croats finally realized that they were too weak to fight off Serbia alone, so they stopped the attacks on Bosnia, and allied with them, and fought off Serbs out of Croatia and Bosnia.
there was an ongoing war between serbs, croats and muslims. A bomb went off in the sarajevo marketplace and killed and injured a lot of people
The Kosovo war started because Kosovians wanted to be liberated from the Serbs. Kosovian villages started riots and through the Serbs' eyes they were seen as "terrorists". So, to keep them "in-control", the Serbs bombed and killed anyone who were members of the KLA also known as the Kosovo Liberation Army. Thousands of women, men, and children were killed through-out the war.
The document was the "December 1 Act" : Promulgation of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (Address of the National Council of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs, December 1, 1918). The Treaty of Versailles signed in June 1919, which ended World War 1, was an important recognition of what was then the Serbian-dominated "Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes." The colloquial name was Yugoslavia (land of Slavs), and the official name of the state was changed to "Kingdom of Yugoslavia" by King Alexander in 1929.
They like France were more sympathetic to the Serbs. While the Croats were friends with Italy and Germany.

There were no war between Serbia and Bosnia. That war was called Bosnian war and it was fought between Croats backed by Croatia, Muslims (also known as Bosniaks) and Serbs backed by FR Yugoslavia. All 3 ethic groups live in today BiH. Majority are Serbs then Bosniaks and finally Croatians. War was ended by Dayton agreement. Two entities were formed one was named Republika Srpska (Mostly Serbs) and other was Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (mostly Croats and Muslims). BiH political system became similar to those of Switzerland.
