Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Serbo-Croatian: Socijalistička Republika Bosna i Hercegovina, Социјалистичка Pепублика Босна и Херцеговина), known until 1963 under the name of People's Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, was a socialist state that was a constituent country of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. It is a predecessor of the modern-day Bosnia and Herzegovina, and was formed during a meeting of the antifascist resistance in Mrkonjić Grad on November 25, 1943. The Socialist Republic was dissolved in 1990 when it abandoned communist institutions and adopted market ones, as the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina which declared independence from Yugoslavia in 1992. The Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina was up to December 20, 1990 in the hands of the League of Communists of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The capital city was Sarajevo, which remained the capital following independence.

The Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina was renamed into the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina on April 8, 1992,[2] losing the adjective "Socialist".[2] It established a multi-party system and began moving towards a fully capitalist economic system. The republic retained communist symbolism as it awaited new symbols which came after separation. The republic became governed by a separation-leaning government led by Bosniak President Alija Izetbegović, however separatist Serb factions demanded secession from Bosnia and Herzegovina, leaving the constituent republic in a fractious political environment. In 1992, the Republic declared its separation from Yugoslavia. Then SR Serbia and SR Montenegro with the help of Bosnian Serbs invaded independent Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
