The '''Croatian War of Independence''' was fought from 1991 to 1995 between Croat forces loyal to the Government of Croatia (lead by [[Franjo Tuđman]])—which had declared independence from the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY)—and the Serb-controlled Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) and local Serb forces, with the JNA ending its combat operations in Croatia by 1992. It was the first of the [[Yugoslav Wars]] and ran concurrently alongside the [[Bosnian War]], which began one year after the Croatian War started. Both conflicts ended in 1995 within several months of each other.
