The funeral service of Madeleine Albright, the first female U.S. Secretary of State, was held at the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday.

Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland was also in attendance.
Albright died at 84 years old on March 23.
Albright, who fled the Nazis as a child in her native Czechoslovakia during the Second World War, was the first woman to hold that position. She was a tough-talking diplomat in an administration that hesitated to involve itself in the two biggest foreign policy crises of the 1990s: the genocides in Rwanda and Bosnia-Herzegovina.

In This Story: Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Bosnia and Herzegovina, sometimes called Bosnia–Herzegovina and often known informally as Bosnia, is a country in South and Southeast Europe, located within the Balkans. Sarajevo is the capital and largest city.

Bosnia and Herzegovina is bordered by Serbia to the east, Montenegro to the southeast, and Croatia to the north and southwest. It is not entirely landlocked; to the south it has a narrow coast on the Adriatic Sea, which is about 20 kilometres (12 miles) long and surrounds the town of Neum.

The inland Bosnia region has a moderate continental climate, with hot summers and cold, snowy winters. In the central and eastern interior of the country the geography is mountainous, in the northwest moderately hilly, and in the northeast predominantly flatland. The smaller southern region, Herzegovina, has a Mediterranean climate and mostly mountainous topography.
