Abstract: Kosovo was separated from Albania after the London Conference of 1913 and fell under Serbian rule, so the plight of the Kosovo Albanians was unparalleled, especially during the relentless uprisings because the Serbian violence and brutality towards Albanians in Kosovo was immense. The Kosovo War and the intervention of NATO on March 24, 1999 is a historic date for Kosovo and the entire Albanian people. March 24th is known for the decision of NATO and the Alliance, led by the sole superpower in the world, the United States of America, to bomb and destroy Serbian positions. This was a historic bombing decision that changed the history of the Balkans after 78 days, towards a Balkans of peace, freedom, and security, without dictatorial leaders.

Keywords: Rambouillet Conference, NATO intervention, Kosovo, Balkans.
