'''The Kosovo War''' was fought in 1999 between [[Serbia]] and [[NATO]]. NATO forces, under the command of General [[Wesley Clark]], bombed the Serbs for 75 days to stop an alleged Serb campaign of ethnic cleansing against Kosovar [[Albania]]ns.  While efforts were made to minimize civilian casualties and the Serbian military was genearlly well hidden to avoid taking much damage, the Serba capitulated under increasing use of bombing and destroying industrial targets.  Indeed, the damage to their economy continued far beyond the war's end.

 

NATO forces occupied [[Kosovo]] as Albanians who had fled during the conflict returned.  They were generally unable to protect Serbian Christians living in Kosovo, the founding place of the [[Serbian Orthodox Church]], and the majority of the Serbian Christian population has since fled.  Kosovo was declared to be independent by NATO in 2008.
