Dayton Accords end the Bosnian War

The warring factions in the Bosnian War agreed the Dayton Accords in Dayton, Ohio at a conference (1-21 November 1995) bringing an end to the 3.5 year Bosnian War, one of the Yugoslav Wars of the period 1991-2001. The official signing of the treaty took place in Paris on 14 November 1995 and NATO agreed to provide 60,000 peacekeepers for the region, as part of the Implementation Force (IFOR). The UK’s Operation RESOLUTE was in support of the IFOR operation in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

In December 1995, under Operation JOINT ENDEAVOR, NATO deployed IFOR until December 1996, when those forces in the region were transferred to the Stabilization Force (SFOR), remaining in Bosnia until 2004.
