They fought. A lot. Eventually, after three years and more than 100,000 people killed, a peace agreement was signed in Dayton, Ohio, which came up with a bit of a compromise that everyone could just about live with. It goes without saying that the ''Dayton agreement'', while fulfilling its purpose (immediate cessation of hostilities) is nowadays regarded as less than ideal solution in terms of post-war situation, to put it mildly. The agreement truly satisfied neither of the three sides. The Croats were disappointed as they were left without their own entity and instead they were clumped up with Bosniaks into the ''Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina''. The Serbs on the other hand, while heavily favored by the new agreement, were discontent with the arbitration of the Brčko district. Finally, the Bosniaks were embittered by the perceived disregard of human rights violations during the war (most notably that of the massacre at Srebrenica, which killed 8,000 Bosniaks instantly).

Bosnia's topography affects its history. Although it was nominally part of other powerful European empires, such as the [[UsefulNotes/ByzantineEmpire Byzantines]] and the [[UsefulNotes/{{Hungary}} Hungarians]], the harsh mountainous terrain made it difficult to get meaningful access to the country. For much of the Middle Ages, Bosnia was considered the Balkans' backwater region. In the 11th century, a religious movement called the Bosnian Church arose and spread among the population. It was quickly condemned by both Catholics and Eastern Orthodox alike as a heretical sect, further isolating Bosnia among the Christian world. It's no wonder than when the [[UsefulNotes/{{Turkey}} Ottoman Empire]] marched to the region in the late 15th century, most Bosnians saw no problem to defect from a side they saw as having abandoned them for centuries and instead adopted another equally "heretical" faith: Islam.

After the war, Bosnia was integrated to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, which after 1929 was renamed Yugoslavia. As you can see, "Bosniak" did not figure out to the name, because at that time, a separate Bosniak ethnicity did not exist. Bosniaks were seen as either Muslim Croats or Muslim Serbs (mostly the former, since they also wrote with the Latin script), and for the most part they didn't object to it, either. Until 1993, Bosniaks were classified in the censuses as "Muslims".

Technically the nation is divided between the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Bosniak and Croat) and the Republika Srpska (Serb), with a third, the Brčko District, directly ruled from the central government in Sarajevo, which is simultaneously led by three presidents, each representing a major ethnic group and expected to serve a single four-year term, though one of them would serve as "Chairman of the Presidency", which rotates between the Bosniak, Serb and Croat presidents every eight months. Thanks to the Bosnian War, the country has become homogeneous by administrative division: Republika Srpska is overwhelmingly Serb, while the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina is overwhelmingly Bosniak in the center and west (including Sarajevo) and Croat in the south, eliminating any problem of regions being represented by the "wrong" kind of ethnicity.
