The Balkans Crisis NAFTA  Post Cold War tensions developed in Yugoslavia between Christians Serbs and Muslim Bosnians. Some Serbs adopted a policy of “ethnic cleansing” which was basically genocide. Clinton helped negotiate a peace in Bosnia, and US troops were sent in as part of a NATO peacekeeping force.  Clinton’s interventions led to a compromise, peace & end to bloodshed and killing  North American Free Trade Agreement- originally negotiated by George H. Bush. Clinton pushed it through Congress creating a new trade association with Mexico and Canada, that gradually phased out tariffs between the three countries.  It is believed that free trade between nations stimulates the economies of the nations involved.

He later took steps to force Hussein to allow UN inspectors to enter Iraq to continue their inspection for nuclear & biological weapons  Laid the foundation for the US invasion of Iraq in the 2000s.
