Croat–Bosniak War

An armed conflict between Bosnian Croat and Bosniak forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina, fought mainly from 1992 to 1994 within the Bosnian War.

Croatian Defence Council: The military formation of the Croatian Republic of Herzeg-Bosnia during the Bosnian War. Its forces fought Bosniak units and sought control over territory claimed by Herzeg-Bosnia.
Bosnian War: A 1992–1995 war in Bosnia and Herzegovina involving Bosniak, Bosnian Serb, and Bosnian Croat forces. The Croat–Bosniak conflict was one phase of this wider war.
Ahmići massacre: The 1993 killing of more than 100 Bosniak civilians by Bosnian Croat forces in the village of Ahmići. The massacre became a defining atrocity of the conflict and was prosecuted at the ICTY.
Croatian War of Independence: A 1991–1995 war between Croatian forces and the Yugoslav People’s Army and Serb forces in Croatia. It overlapped with the conflict but was fought primarily on Croatian territory between different principal parties.
Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina: The army of the internationally recognized Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Bosnian War. Its units fought the Croatian Defence Council in central Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Croatian Republic of Herzeg-Bosnia: A wartime Croatian political entity in Bosnia and Herzegovina, proclaimed in 1992 and led by Bosnian Croat officials. Its political leadership asserted a separate Croat territorial authority as relations with Bosniaks deteriorated.
Stari Most: A sixteenth-century Ottoman bridge in Mostar, destroyed by Croat shelling in November 1993 and rebuilt after the war. Its destruction became a potent symbol of the cultural losses caused by the fighting.
Bosnian Serb forces: Military forces organized by Bosnian Serbs during the Bosnian War, chiefly the Army of Republika Srpska. They were a separate belligerent in the Bosnian War, despite periods of tactical alignment with Croat forces.
Herzeg-Bosnia: A self-proclaimed Croatian political entity in Bosnia and Herzegovina, established in 1991 and dissolved in 1996. Its territorial project shaped Croatian forces’ aims in the conflict.
Partition of Bosnia and Herzegovina: Proposals and policies to divide Bosnia and Herzegovina along ethnic or territorial lines. Competing partition plans intensified disputes over the borders and political future of Croat-held areas.
