كانت حروب يوغوسلافيا سلسلة من الصراعات العرقية والعصيان وحروب الاستقلال المنفصلة ولكنها كانت مرتبطة معًا، وحدثت على أرض يوغسلافيا سابقًا في الفترة بين عامي 1991 و 2001، ما أدى إلى انقسام دولة يوغوسلافيا. أعلنت دولها التأسيسية الاستقلال، على الرغم من التوترات التي لم يُفصل فيها بين الأقليات العرقية، مشعلةً فتيل الحرب. انتهت معظم الحروب باتفاقيات سلام، وشملت الاعتراف الكامل بالدول الجديدة، ولكن بخسائر فادحة في الأرواح وتدمير اقتصاد المنطقة. في البداية سعى جيش يوغوسلافيا الشعبي «جاي إن إيه» نحو الحفاظ على وحدة يوغسلافيا بالكامل عن طريق القضاء على الحكومات الانفصالية، ولكنها وقعت تدريجيًا تحت تأثير حكومة سلوبودان ميلوشيفيتش الصربية. ونتيجةً لذلك بدأ جيش يوغوسلافيا الشعبي في فقدان السلوفينيين والكروات وألبان كوسوفو والبوسنيين والمقدونيين وأصبحوا عمليًا جيشًا صربيًا. طبقًا لتقرير الأمم المتحدة الصادر عام 1994، لم يهدف الجانب الصربي نحو استعادة يوغوسلافيا، ولكنهم سعوا نحو تأسيس صربيا الكبرى من أجزاء من كرواتيا والبوسنة. دخلت حركات وحدوية أخرى في الحروب، مثل «ألبانيا العظمى» و «كرواتيا العظمى».

The battle took place around numerous JNA posts in Croatia, starting when Croatian forces blockaded the JNA barracks, weapons storage depots and other facilities.

The Battle of Osijek was the artillery bombardment of the Croatian city of Osijek by the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) which took place from August 1991 to June 1992 during the Croatian War of Independence. Shelling peaked in late November and December 1991, then diminished in 1992 after the Vance plan was accepted by the combatants. Airstrikes and attacks by JNA infantry and armored units against targets in the city accompanied the bombardment, which caused approximately 800 deaths and resulted in a large portion of the city's population leaving. Croatian sources estimated that 6,000 artillery shells were fired against Osijek over the period.

The objective of the offensive was to re-establish a road link between the city of Banja Luka in the west of the country and the eastern parts of the territory controlled by the Bosnian Serbs. The offensive was prompted by the capture of Derventa by the HV and the HVO – a move that blocked the single overland road between the VRS-controlled territories.

Although the offensive met hardly any resistance in its initial stage, achieving tactical surprise, the operation was poorly planned, supported and executed as a result of limited training and combat experience.

However, the JNA garrison broke out from the besieged barracks with part of its stored equipment before the ZNG claimed the vacant base. The breakout was supported by JNA units and SAO Krajina units deployed to lift the blockade of the barracks and other JNA garrisons in Karlovac. A battle ensued as the ZNG attempted to contain advancing JNA units, ending with a ceasefire signed in The Hague.
