{i} capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina
the capital city of Bosnia Herzegovina. Many battles between Serbs and Bosnian Muslims were fought there in the 1990s during the Bosnian War, and much of the city was destroyed. During the war, Sarajevo was under siege by the Bosnian Serb army who surrounded it and would not let any people out or any food or goods in. It is also the place where the Archduke Franz Ferdinand was murdered in 1914, an event which led to the start of World War I. City (pop., 1997 est.: 360,000), capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina. After the Turks invaded in the late 15th century, it developed as a trading centre and stronghold of Muslim culture. From 1878 it was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (see Austria-Hungary). In 1914 Archduke Francis Ferdinand was assassinated by a Serbian nationalist, which action precipitated World War I. After Bosnia and Herzegovina declared independence from Yugoslavia in 1992, it became a focal point of fierce civil war as Serb militias drove thousands of Bosnian Muslims from the countryside to take refuge in the city (see Bosnian conflict). Its pre-civil war industries included a brewery, furniture factory, tobacco factory, and automobile plant. It was the host of the 1984 Winter Olympic Games and is the centre of a road network. A rail connection to the Adriatic Sea was damaged during fighting in the 1990s but is now operational. Sarajevo retains a Muslim character, with many mosques and an ancient marketplace
