2 and 3 are incorrect.
Answered by Cassie
2. who 3. who's...#3 sounds wrong no matter what... Are these right now? :)
Answered by Writeacher
2 and 3 are now correct ... and yes, I agree -- I think #3 sounds awful even with the correct pronoun/contraction!
Answered by Cassie
thank you...
Answered by Writeacher
No ... not even that. I don't think #3 has a correct answer in there.

It'd be better if the whole sentence read like this:

<i>Civil wars have torn apart the small nation, whose history is bloody and violent.</i>
Answered by Writeacher
... so I guess you should go ahead and use "whose."
Answered by Cassie
