NATO Bombing of Yugoslavia

Throughout 24 March and 10 June 1999, the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO for short) held a military campaign against
Yugoslavia during the Kosovo war. The Kosovo war began when ethnic Albanians in Kosovo (who made up 90% of Kosovo's population)
wanted their own government but were denied by Serbia who didn't want to lose another part of Yugoslavia after Croatia, Slovenia,
Macedonia and Bosnia became independent. NATO bombed Yugoslavia as a way to force the crumbling nation to give in and withdraw
troops from Kosovo who was being backed by the UN (United Nations). Over 1,200 people were killed and 5,173 were wounded during the bombing. On 10 June 1999, the UN Resolution 1244 was signed that saw a de facto separation of Kosovo from Yugoslavia under UN temporary administration.
