During Bill Clinton's administration, the United States played a notable role in several global conflicts, most prominently through its intervention in the Balkans and its efforts in the Middle East. The NATO-led intervention in Bosnia in 1995 aimed to halt ethnic cleansing and stabilize the region, which was largely successful as it led to the Dayton Accords and a relative peace in Bosnia. However, the administration's efforts in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, particularly the Oslo Accords, faced significant challenges and ultimately did not achieve lasting peace. Overall, while Clinton's administration saw successes in some areas, its mixed results in conflict resolution highlight the complexities and limitations of U.S. foreign policy during that era.
