When Hitler first started his campaign people loved him and wanted him in power. It was what he did once he was in power that astonished the nation. However, in Bosnia there were always tensions between the three groups. The Serbs were not let into power; they never had the other group's respect they were just able to establish a strong army and state that was capable of killing. In Yugoslavia there were many different republics formed all representing a different ethnic group. In 1991 the Croats and Slovenes declared their independence from Yugoslavia. The Serbs then dominated Yugoslavia so they then decided to try and expand by setting up Serbian regions in Bosnia. The Bosnian government did not allow that, thus leading to armed conflicts between the Serbs and the non-Serbs. Another major difference was the fact that Hitler started the mass murder within his own country and expanded outward through Imperialism, Bosnia however did not. When the Serbs got control of Yugoslavia they became more of a nation banded together than the Croats and the Slovenes were, so what started off as a war became blown up into a mass-murdering spree. .
In Bosnia the people who were doing the killing was not one person, it was the whole nation of Serbs. Meanwhile in Germany the people committing murder were all looking up to one person. They followed Hitler's ideas and not their own. Hitler was able to manipulate the minds of the community and make them believe that what he was doing was good and was only for the good of the nation. In Bosnia the people knew that they what they were doing was murder and bad and that they were killing off the people just to gain power but that didn't stop them, their goal was to be the leading ethnic race. In Bosnia it wasn't until the early 1990's that the Croats and Muslims decided to fight together against the Serbs. All the years of war before that took place with all three groups at odds with each other, and the Serbs trying to kill them all off with the help of the other group.
