The Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina (SRBiH) was one of the six socialist federal republics of Yugoslavia, existing from 1943 to 1992 with Sarajevo as its capital. The Yugoslavian government ensured that Bosniaks, Serbs, and Croats had equal representation in the government of the socialist republic, but ethnic tensions rose as Yugoslavia began to fragment after Josip Broz Tito's death in 1980. In 1992, Bosnia and Herzegovina declared its independence, rebelling against the government of Serbia and Montenegro. In 1991, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina had a population of 4,377,053 people.
