I have a great interest in conflicts more recently such as the conflict currently in Ukraine, the collapse of Yugoslavia, Chechnya and The Vietnam War; primarily because these wars have a lot of politics behind them which means that you have to read further between the lines of politics and the choices made by governments, not just the two (Or in Bosnia's case 3) sides fighting. Yugoslavia is interesting as allegiance of the republics changed so many times. The Croats were at war with the Serbs and Belgrade, next they were fighting the Bosnian Muslims and then the Serbs again. Why? Politics. When you look closer, there is a lot of interesting things to see which make actions in the war more understandable. There is a LOT to look at with this war (Same with Vietnam). Ukraine is interesting as it is shaping relations between the West and Russia in tensions higher than that of 1989, meaning anything can happen.
