David Desperito History 311 Section 2 Research Paper 13 November 2014 Srebrenica Massacre The Srebrenica Massacre was the deadliest genocide on European soil since the Second World War. It was a brutal, senseless mass murder that occurred in Srebrenica, in Bosnia & Herzegovina, in July of 1995. The killing was perpetrated by the Bosnian Serb Army, also known as the Army of Republika Srpska (VRS). Their goal was to cleanse the area of all Muslims, also known as Bosniaks in this region. They were under the command of General Ratko Mladić and killed around 8,000 Muslims in the summer of 1995.
The Hutu remembered past years of oppressive Tutsi rule, and many of them not only resented but also feared the minority. On April 6, 1994, a plane carrying President Habyarimana, a Hutu, was shot down. Violence began almost immediately after that. Under the cover of war, Hutu extremists launched their plans to destroy the entire Tutsi civilian population. Political leaders who might have been able to take charge of the situation and other high profile opponents of the Hutu extremist plans were killed immediately.
Muddy Jungle River “The wreckage was vast and startling. The awful waste and destruction of war, even aside from the loss of human life, has always been one of its outstanding features to those who are in it (Pyle).” Wreckage, waste, destruction and loss of life are common themes of war. Wendell Affield’s Muddy Jungle River and the journals of Ernie Pyle help illustrate the truth about war. Muddy Jungle River depicts both sides of the war, the activities on the frontline as well as how war effects the loved ones on the home front. Over the past eight decades American views on war have varied.
After Bosnia declared independence from Yugoslavia, many Muslims had to seek refuge in Sarajevo after being forced out of there homes in the farm lands. Soon after this, Bosnian Serb forces that were supported by the Yugoslavian army began to bomb the city. Shortly after this a small part of the city was fully overtaken and the rest was subject to constant bombings, sniper fire, and people were being starved. After the war ended in 1996, the city was left in ruins with many destroyed buildings, over 10,000 casualties, and 50,000 injuries. Sarajevo was ruined place and the population of the city dropped significantly afterwards.The movie was very accurate in the way that it showed the people at the time.
They also believed that the battle symbolised all the horrors of warfare in World War One. There has been an ongoing debate whether Douglas Haig, Britain’s commander-in-chief during the war, was right in leading many British men and young boys to their deaths. Numerous opinions are held by each individual. Some people believe that Sir Douglas Haig rightly deserves the nickname ‘Butcher of the Somme’. They think that Haig should be blamed for the torture and deaths of many British soldiers.
The idea of separating the people by just appearance and segregating one for the other is an act of unjustness and is inhumane. Inhumanity it presented through the entire documentary as the large countries, the French and the UN acted heartlessly against the Rwandans. When they are in great desperation for aid in their war the other countries refuse to assist them in peace keeping and instead just evacuated their own people leaving the Rwandans to their fight, alone. Thousands of innocent Rwandans were brutally murdered by their own kind as a result of the lack of support due to the inhumane nature of the other countries, as they found no benefit in saving the Rwandans. As a result of this inhumanity the massacre of innocents became inevitable and therefore, it can be understood what the consequences of inhumane behaviour will be.

Hutus marched throughout the country with machetes, guns, grenades, and clubs, brutally murdering both Tutsis and Hutu moderates. The identification cards that had been put into action back in the days of the Belgians were now used to round up the Tutsis. A main tool during the genocide was the radio. The Hutu extremists controlled the radio and used it to play hate propaganda messages telling all Hutus to kill the Tutsis. The
