- The Kosovo War was waged in the Serbian province of Kosovo from 1998 to 1999.
- Ethnic Albanians living in Kosovo faced the pressure of Serbs fighting for control of the region.
- The president of Serbia, Slobodan Milosevic, refused to recognize the rights of the majority because Kosovo was an area sacred to the Serbs.
- The immediate cause of the conflict in Kosovo was Slobodan Milosevic, and his oppression of the ethnic Albanians there for the preceding decade.
- There, Serb forces attempted to fend off the invading Turks, with ethnic Albanians probably fighting on both sides of the battle.
