The Yugoslav Front of World War II, also known as the Yugoslav People's Liberation War (Serbo-Croatian, Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian Narodnooslobodiläki rat, Cyrillic script: ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿; Macedonian ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿; Slovene: Narodnoosvobodilni boj or Narodnoosvobodilna borba), was fought in occupied Yugoslavia during World War II (1941 - 1945) between the Yugoslav resistance forces, primarily the Yugoslav Partisans, and the Axis powers. In April 1941, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia was quickly overrun by Axis forces and partitioned between Germany, Italy, Hungary, Bulgaria and client regimes in Croatia and Serbia. Soon after, two guerrilla resistance armies sprang up: the communist-led and republican Yugoslav Partisans, supported by the Soviet Union, and the royalist Chetnik movement, known officially as the Yugoslav Army in the Fatherland, initially favored by the Western Allies. After brief and unsuccessful attempts at cooperation, the Chetniks allied with the Axis forces against the Partisans, receiving increasing amounts of logistical assistance (in particular, from Italy), eventually losing Allied support.
