NATO's first war — Operation Deliberate Force
1995 · Event
Two days after a mortar kills 43 people in a Sarajevo market — and weeks after Srebrenica — NATO finally unleashes three weeks of air strikes on the Bosnian Serbs: the alliance's first sustained combat operation in 46 years of existence. Combined with Croat-Bosniak ground offensives, it drives Karadžić's forces to the table at Dayton.
