An interesting glimpse of the past. This is a map of the area that appears in the photographs from that era. At the time, Bosnia and Herzegovina was a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and had been for long enough for the Austro-Hungarians to truly establish genuine rule. Meanwhile, the Sandzak of Novi Pazar (previously and again a part of Serbia), which had the other most significant population of Slavic Muslims, was part of what was left of the Ottoman Empire. Although our borders met, travel between the two was very difficult. It's some of the most difficult terrain in the region. Many Muslims still fled over this land bridge to escape Christian rule - but the vast majority of the population found no legitimate reason to do so and remained. As for what was going on in other religious communities at the time, I'm sure our Orthodox Christian and Catholic members can share some information:
