breakup of Yugoslavia
Let an agent explain the breakup of Yugoslavia, relay its causes, the sequence of independence and wars, and the internationally determined atrocities from history and legal sources with court findings and party positions attributed, and distinguish it from the earlier formation of Yugoslavia, the Cold War generally and other state dissolutions, without taking sides.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain the breakup of Yugoslavia, relay its causes, the sequence of independence and wars, and the internationally determined atrocities from history and legal sources with court findings and party positions attributed, and distinguish it from the earlier formation of Yugoslavia, the Cold War generally and other state dissolutions, without taking sides.
The process by which the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia disintegrated in the early 1990s into separate independent states, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and later Kosovo, amid rising nationalism, economic crisis and the collapse of communism, accompanied by a series of wars marked by atrocities including ethnic cleansing and the Srebrenica genocide as determined by international courts; the breakup is a sensitive and contested subject, so causes, responsibility and terminology are presented with the findings of courts and the positions of different parties attributed, and the topic is handled soberly without partisanship.
What it is for: Not applicable; a historical process of state dissolution.
It can be explain causes and sequence; relay the wars and court findings with attribution; present contested responsibility neutrally; distinguish related events.
Distinguishing features
State disintegration
Rising nationalism
Series of wars

How it is recognised
Disintegration of Yugoslavia into separate states
