Bosnian Posavina in Homeland War

U ovom diplomskom radu prikazana je turbulentna povijest Bosanske Posavine tijekom Domovinskog rata počevši od političkih promjena tijekom 1991. godine pa sve do Daytonskog sporazuma 1995. godine. Veliki naglasak u radu je stavljen na 1992. godinu jer su se tijekom nje vodile najteže bitke za Bosansku Posavinu. Nisu izostavljene ni borbe nakon 1992. godine koje su najžešće bile 1995. godine na području Orašja. Također je obrađena demografija Bosanske Posavine prije te poslije samog rata. Postavljen je geografski okvir same Posavine te njena cjelokupna povijest. Nije zanemarena ni uloga Republike Hrvatske u ratu u Bosanskoj Posavini te je pomno obrađena uloga Republike Hrvatske u obrani tog cjelokupnog prostora. Uz ulogu Republike Hrvatske u obrani Bosanske Posavine se vežu i mnoge kontroverze od kojih je dio obrađen u ovom radu. Posebna je pozornost u radu bila na Slavonskom Brodu jer je tijekom Domovinskog rata Slavonski Brod bio izrazito vezan uz Bosansku Posavinu. Obrađena su stradavanja vojnika i civila tijekom rata, ne samo na području Bosanske Posavine već i na području Slavonskog Broda gdje su dječje žrtve bile izrazito velike. Na kraju rada je obrađen Daytonski sporazum te stanje na području Bosanske Posavine nakon rata.In this thesis, the turbulent history of Bosnian Posavina during the Homeland War is presented, beginning with the political changes in 1991 and ending with the Dayton Agreement in 1995. Great emphasis in the paper is placed on the year 1992, because during that year the most difficult battles for Bosnian Posavina were fought. The fights after 1992 were not left out either, which were the fiercest in 1995 in the area of Orašje. Demographics of Bosnian Posavina before and after the war were also discussed. The geographical framework of Posavina itself and its entire history are set. The role of the Republic of Croatia in the war in Bosnian Posavina was not neglected either, and the role of the Republic of Croatia in the defense of that entire area was carefully treated. Many controversies are connected with the role of the Republic of Croatia in the defense of Bosnian Posavina, some of which are covered in this paper. Special attention in the work was on Slavonski Brod, because during the Homeland War Slavonski Brod was extremely connected to Bosnian Posavina. The casualties of soldiers and civilians during the war were discussed, not only in the area of Bosnian Posavina, but also in the area of Slavonski Brod, where child victims were extremely high. At the end of the paper, the Dayton Agreement and the situation in the area of Bosnian Posavina after the war were discussed
