International recognition of breakaway republics, along with armed conflict and ethnic cleansing, hardened new borders and produced successor states such as Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and later North Macedonia and Serbia. The resulting political map was not an inevitable outcome of "ancient hatreds," but a contingent product of institutional collapse, elite strategies, and external diplomatic decisions.
