Praxis II: Citizenship Education Content Knowledge Exam Prep

Answer: D - The 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia focused on the disputed region of Kosovo, which was occupied by Serbian forces who were responsible for ethnic cleansing and other war crimes against Muslims and ethnic Albanians.

Within three months, Yugoslav leaders agreed to a peace plan and bombing stopped; Miloševi? was ultimately jailed in The Hague for war crimes.
