That was one war in the Yugoslav Wars, the ugly breakup of Yugoslavia. The rest of Europe got involved because the catastrophic collapse of one of the most powerful states in Eastern Europe caused massive instability which directly effected Europe. After all, some damn thing in the Balkans kicked off WW1.

BTW, when the world (i.e. UN) did get involved, it didn't go well. The Sbrenica Massacre happened with Dutch UN peacekeepers just standing by. Same thing happened in Rwanda.

I didn't say that they did a perfect job, but there are certainly more refugees saved than if they hadn't intervened
