History

Historical Context

In March 1999 NATO launched Operation Allied Force against Yugoslavia, responding to Miloševic’s ethnic cleansing of Kosovar Albanians and the failed Rambouillet talks. Over 38,000 combat missions—including 202 Tomahawk missiles—struck bridges, power plants and cultural sites until a June cease-fire. Yugoslav officials later claimed the campaign cost about $100 billion, reshaping regional security and legal debates.
