Geography Now! Bosnia and Herzegovina

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Its internal strife between various ethnic and national groups led to a bloody civil war in the 1990s, but the country of Bosnia and Herzegovina has tried to overcome its divisions with its unique three-president system. Learners discover the complexities of the Balkan state in a video profile. Maps and photographs demonstrate the intricacies of the often confusing nation.
