The Bosnian diaspora was the consequence of either voluntary departure, coercion and/or forced migrations or expulsions that occurred on several occasions since the 1870s:

• In the late 19th century to the east and west caused by the invading forces of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
• In the 20th century (1919-1970s) caused by Yugoslavian Emigration programs with Turkey
• The Bosnian War in the early 1990s (from 1992 to 1995). Many Bosnian refugees sought asylum in the United States, Canada, Germany, Sweden, Austria, and New Zealand.
