In 1908 , outright annexation took place and the country became an integral part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

In particular, Serbian nationalists began forming Serbian Autonomous Regions (SARs) and these were rejected by the government in Sarajevo. The situation escalated after the government declared independence from Yugoslavia in March 1992 . Despite world recognition of the new state, the Bosnian Serbs and the Yugoslav army attempted to take control of the country and besieged Sarajevo. Before long, a Bosnian Serb Republic (Republika Srpska) was proclaimed at Pale. It declared allegiance to Serb-dominated Yugoslavia. By the Dayton Agreement of November 1995 , the country became one state with two autonomous entities: the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina; and the Bosnian Serb Republic.
