The territory of Western Bosnia was seized by the Bosnian government troops in 1994, but they were expelled later that year, and the Autonomous Province of Western Bosnia was restored.

It was soon militarily defeated by the joint Croatian and Bosnian government army and incorporated into the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (present day Una-Sana Canton).
