The Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s World War II in the 1940s The Salvadoran Civil War in the 1980s The Berlin Wall Crisis in the 1960s

Answer 1

It's a euphemism to describe the removal or genocide of minority ethnic groups. The term first came into lexicon with the Yugoslavian War. It was used mainly to describe the Serbs' attacks on Muslims in Bosnia and Albanians in Kosovo.

Answer 2

The Yugoslav Wars of the 1990's.

Although the term "ethnic cleansing" can be used to describe many events, some of which happened before the Yugoslavs Wars. The term itself was first used to describe the Yugoslav wars and it was actually used by the perpetrators of the war.
