This research utilizes the United Nations Database for Refugees in
order to establish the three countries that assisted Yugoslavia by taking in the
highest number of refugees. Germany, the United States, and Sweden were
three countries explored in more detail regarding refugee assistance. This
research draws conclusions based on historical context, refugee resettlement
policy from the United Nations, and country-specific immigration and refugee
policies. Germany, the United States, and Sweden each have a unique
connection to Yugoslavia both before and during the Yugoslav Wars. The
wars took place from 1991 – 1995 when over half of the Yugoslav population
was displaced either outside Yugoslavia or within the Yugoslav borders. Yugoslavia
is comprised of modern day Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia,
Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Kosovo, and the province of Vojvodina.
This study describes the history of Yugoslavia as it led to the Yugoslav Wars
and the displacement of refugees from Yugoslavia.
