Why did the siege of Sarajevo?

The Siege of Sarajevo, which lasted from 1992 to 1996, was primarily a result of the Bosnian War, driven by ethnic tensions following the breakup of Yugoslavia. Bosnian Serb forces besieged the city, targeting its predominantly Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) population. The siege aimed to exert control over the region and suppress Bosnian independence. It became one of the longest and most devastating sieges in modern history, marked by severe humanitarian crises and widespread violence.
