Reducing the Balkan Wars to a single referendum in a single country is so simplistic, I'd even call it ignorant.
But since you are on the journey of learning about all of this, continue. Use Wikipedia for startes, and not some other sources a quick search turns up so.
- thriftwy 3y agoBut hey, The Guardian does not see any reason to not be ignorant: > The declaration of Republika Srpska in January 1992 triggered a civil war and a campaign of ethnic cleansing of Muslims and Croats, in which 100,000 people died.
- hef19898 3y agoTo quote another war that started at the Balkans: The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 trigger World War 1. Factually correct, but missing a ton context, up to the point that small bit of information is basically useless in understanding the issue.
- thriftwy 3y agoВот плачут дед и баба, но напрасно - Всё предначертано, яйцо должно разбиться. Зло порождает зло в наш век ужасный. Ты хочешь знать, чем эта сказка завершится? Старуху ту Раскольников зарубит, И не со зла, причём, так по сюжету надо. Старик же, пьянством горе усугубив, Эрцгерцога застрелит Фердинанда.
- hef19898 3y agoIs this a close translation? >> Grandfather and grandmother are crying, but in vain Everything is preordained, the egg must break. Evil begets evil in our terrible age. Do you want to know how this fairy tale will end? Raskolnikov will cut down that old woman, And not out of malice, and that's the way it should be according to the plot. And the old man, having aggravated his grief by drunkenness, The Archduke will shoot Ferdinand. Because the Archduke Franz Ferdinand didn't shoot anyone, he was the one being shot... Nice poem so!
