Question:
After 1991, Yugoslavia broke apart into several provinces, which one of the following was not a province among them?
Options:

Croatia

Slovenia

Czech Republic

Bosnia and Herzegovina

Correct Answer:

Czech Republic

Explanation:

 In Eastern Europe, Czechoslovakia split peacefully into two, with the Czechs and the Slovaks forming independent countries. But the most severe conflict took place in the Balkan republics of Yugoslavia. After 1991, it broke apart with several provinces like Croatia, Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina declaring independence. Ethnic Serbs opposed this and a massacre of non-Serb Bosnians followed. The NATO intervention and the bombing of Yugoslavia followed the inter-ethnic civil war.
