On this day, twenty two years ago siege of Sarajevo started. It was the longest siege of a capital city in the history of modern warfare. After being initially besieged by the forces of the Yugoslav Peoples Army, Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, was besieged by the Army of Republika Srpska from 5 April 1992 to 29 February 1996 (1,425 days) during the Bosnian War. The siege lasted three times longer than the Siege of Stalingrad and a year longer than the Siege of Leningrad.
